The project
This summer camp in the UK is a unique chance for teenagers aged 10 to 18 (depending on the camp) to improve their English. The programme includes classes, excursions, and fun activities for full immersion in British culture!
On all 5 campuses (London, Oxford, Reading, Edinburgh and Brighton), our schools aim to introduce children and teenagers to British culture while creating unforgettable memories.
A project we follow
Projects chosen with care and followed through regular visits on site.
A typical week
Whether in London, Oxford or Reading, the schedules are balanced with a mix of English lessons and cultural and social activities.
Typically, English lessons take place in the morning with regular breaks to maximize learning. The afternoons are dedicated to city immersion.
Sunday is usually your arrival and departure day. You will have an orientation day to get acquainted with the supervision team and meet the programme participants.
Accommodation and meals
Summer camps are very diverse, and each offers a unique environment for young participants. In some cases, such as in Reading, students are accommodated in boarding schools, traditional English secondary schools with on-campus residence (shared rooms for 2–5 students). In this case, all activities take place in the same location: accommodation, meals, classes, and sports and social activities. This type of accommodation is reserved for younger students or those who need a well-defined framework.
In London or Brighton, students are accommodated on university campuses in single or twin rooms. University campuses are within walking distance of the language schools and offer common areas where students can socialize during their free time. This option is more suitable for more experienced or independent students.
For younger students or for full immersion, it is also possible to choose the host family option in all destinations. Please contact us to find out the conditions.
Meals
Meals are included in the programme. They are designed to be balanced, for example:
- Breakfast: continental-style buffet.
- Lunch: two hot options (including one vegetarian), served with side dishes such as salad, pasta, and rice, as well as a dessert and a drink.
- Dinner: two hot options (including one vegetarian), served with side dishes such as salad, pasta, and rice, as well as a dessert and a drink.
Supervision
All staff members are trained to supervise and ensure the safety of young learners. Teenagers are monitored by the on-site teams, who are available to respond to any requests.
Arrival and transfers
Transport is provided for activities included in the programme.
Free time and activities
Activities are organized to help participants bond with others in the programme. Fun, social, sports or cultural activities take place every day after lessons and at weekends, and vary from week to week.
