Examples of this ethos can be found throughout our camp programmes:
Our Beach School and Forest school experiences are specially designed days for international students to develop a better understanding of the environment.
Our Ocean film festival evening showcases a series of short-films which helps educate the students (and group leaders) on marine and ocean preservation.
Our educational excursions explore cities of vast historical interest, teaching the students the history as well as the geography surrounding each place. Our handmade handouts and city quizzes assist the students’ learning and make the days more challenging.
Our guest speakers in the evenings include sports and business experts who have achieved greatness in their respective fields, from climbing Everest (and paragliding off the summit) to setting up and selling multi-million pound businesses.
The jewel in the crown of our summer camp programme is on the final weekend with our 2 night stay in London, where the students get to see the bright lights of our capital city and all the world class attractions it has to offer.
