Meet Rainbow

Rainbow's World of Hobbies

This year’s summer theme, Rainbow World of Hobbies, invites children on a joyful journey of discovery through creative, active, and unusual hobbies from around the world. Each day, campers explore something new — from crafting and building to movement, performance, and outdoor adventure — while learning and communicating in a fun, natural ESL environment. With no pressure to be perfect, children are encouraged to experiment, collaborate, and express themselves freely. Together we’ll try macrame, miniature building, geocaching, yarn bombing, competitive punning, cosplay, card collecting, dragon dancing, soap sculpting, parkour, flower pressing, pottery, and many more. Through play and exploration, children uncover new interests, hidden talents, and growing confidence— discovering not just new hobbies, but more about who they are.

About Rainbow

Rainbow first opened its doors in 1984. As a day program with a fun new theme each year, it offers a unique, magical experience to children aged 4-12. The program, which revolves around its central theme, aspires to actively engage children in its various experiential learning activities like mechanics, robotix, science, sports, arts, cooking, dancing, music and theater.

The program mostly uses English as its basic language of communication and is designed so as to help children spend their summer holiday in the most creative way possible. The evergreen Anatolia campus becomes a field of exploration, activities and fun, giving the chance to all summer explorers to let their imagination run free.

Rainbow is staffed by excellent and experienced teachers, educators, coaches and fellows of Anatolia College, who stand out for both their knowledge and their love for children.

Rainbow is a day program open Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.

English at Rainbow

Children at Rainbow are invited to experience a new and amazing adventure each time. They will learn through fun and hands-on activities in the target language.

Through songs, games and interactive play we will introduce new concepts, vocabulary and language structures that promote meaningful communication. Moreover, children will be encouraged to use the target language as well as operational and every day expressions and words. These will be reinforced by the teachers and the staff members throughout the day.

While our themes provide a friendly learning environment and help keep the children engaged while learning new vocabulary specific to the context of each theme, the educational focus is based on grammatical structures and learning objectives specific to each age group.

Our aim is to help children immerse themselves into the English language, improve their speaking skills, become acquainted with the history of each era as well as build their team skills and improve social behavior habits. Our goal is for the campers to return home with broadened horizons and a newfound knowledge of English.
