A summer where English is lived, not studied

This programme is designed for young people who want to use English naturally every day, not sit in a traditional classroom. English lessons are interactive, practical and confidence-focused — and everything that happens outside the classroom turns language into something alive, social and real.

How the days are structured

Mornings are dedicated to English lessons delivered in small international groups. Lessons focus on communication, speaking confidence and real-life use of English, preparing students to express themselves comfortably in everyday situations.

Afternoons and evenings are where the camp truly comes alive — filled with adventure activities, team challenges, social events and shared experiences that naturally reinforce the language learned earlier in the day.

Outdoor adventure & active learning

The camp is set in a countryside environment ideal for outdoor activity. Students take part in a wide range of adventure-based sessions designed to build confidence, independence and teamwork.

• Outdoor adventure challenges
• Team-based problem solving and games
• Physical activities adapted to different confidence levels
• Evening social programme creating strong group bonds

Excursions that make the UK real

Excursions are a key part of the programme and give students a real sense of place and culture. These trips are not rushed sightseeing — they are experiences designed to be enjoyed together as a group.

• London – landmarks, atmosphere and culture
• Bournemouth – coastal life and relaxed seaside energy
• Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove – iconic Jurassic Coast scenery
• Salisbury & Christchurch – history and traditional English towns
• Highcliffe Castle and South Coast viewpoints

International environment

Students come from a variety of countries, creating a truly international atmosphere. English is the shared language of communication throughout the day, making progress feel natural rather than forced. Many friendships formed here continue long after the summer ends.

Accommodation & care

The camp is fully residential. Students stay on-site in shared accommodation with peers of a similar age. Pastoral care is a strong focus of the programme, with staff present at all times and a clear daily structure that balances activity with rest.
