Hello, my name is Nikolay. I am fourteen years old and I am from the Blue Squad.
I came to this camp because it became my second home. It’s very cool to find new friends and improve my English here. I’ve been here in 2018 and 2019 and my English became very good because I spoke to foreigners.
Yesterday we made a performance, and as our team called “Fans of fan” we told a story about the drought and how people defeated it. It’s so fascinating! I liked the performance so much. Our and other teams worked very hard. We did cool decorations and wrote a wonderful script. Our teamwork was perfect and our counselors helped us a lot. We became like a family, that’s cool.
And in the end, I’d like to tell you that you should come to this camp and feel this vibe yourself. It’s a wonderful place where you can find new friends, get good emotions and improve your English. I like this place and I’d like to come here again.

Hello. My name is Ilia, and this is my second year in MMC. During the academic year I worked as a teacher of English and German in one of the schools in Kostroma. This was my first experience working in a state school and I enjoyed it for the most part. School is official and I don’t have much time to really talk to my students and do something together.
Here, in MMC, it is completely different. Here I spend the whole day with my team working on our performances, playing sport games, debating on various topics during our squad times, and simply enjoying the time I spend with the people around me.
Currently am a counsellor for the Blue Squad. Our children have a golden opportunity to learn English naturally outside their classrooms (and outside the box) with the help of native speakers. It removes the common fear pertaining to almost all language learners, the fear of speaking. And speaking being the main language skill is difficult to practice when we use it only during our English classes at school. What I see and like, is that our campers are eager to learn English. They use it every time they have a chance. Action dissolves fear that’s why our campers are always on the move. With the support of their teammates, counselors and teachers, campers become fluent. And they show their fluency on stage during our performances! Everything they have learnt during the past days converge to create this special and creative atmosphere of MMC which brings so many people together.
By combining our imagination, artistry skills, good humour, and English we presented our name “Fans of fan” as a task for our performance. Our children wanted to show a performance that would be unique and would stand out among others. They come up with their own ideas and suggestions, help and support each other. So far we have been doing great and I hope we will keep the pace till the end of the session.
