How attending summer camp changed Nikita’s life
Nikita Piazenko’s parents recognised the value of him mastering English as an international language and sent him to his first British summer school at 14. Embracing the opportunity, he developed both his language skills and confidence. Today, he returns each year as a camp leader, guiding students on their own journeys.
