How a ranch works
Menu
Ideal for a gap year internship, the English course and ranch program in Canada is a guaranteed immersion in an English-speaking environment! If you like the great outdoors, wide open spaces, and you are not afraid of work, the ranch in Canada is for you!
After 2 days in Vancouver, help run a typical Canadian farm with a local family. This is an opportunity to live an experience of professional and personal development, while considerably improving your English.
Live a unique experience in Canada! This program will bring you up to speed in English and immerse you in the daily life of a Canadian family. If you have the heart of a cowboy or a cowgirl, want to spend time on a ranch far from the big cities, you will be won over!
Like all of our gap year programs , this project in Canada allows you to get some professional experience while having a positive impact on the local ecosystem.
This program is designed for those who wish to learn English and to find out how a large farm operates in an English-speaking context.
In Vancouver, the first 2 days include airport transfer, 2 nights in an international hostel and orientation by our local team. Students who wish to strengthen their language skills can book English classes for a week or more in Vancouver before starting the farm program.
After the first 2 days you will go to your ranch where you will participate in all the activities of your host family: you will be able to ride their horses, drive their tractor, participate in daily chores, etc.
But it’s not just about agriculture. It is above all a human exchange, a cultural experience that you will live during this internship. Participants will be immersed in the heart of Canadian culture. You will accompany families on their neighborhood visits, their races, or events such as rodeos or festivals.
