EC’s summer camp in England is held at Windlesham, a beautiful private school in the heart of the English countryside, near the seaside town of Worthing. The idyllic setting creates a magical environment for young international students to make friends and memories whilst improving their English skills.
EC provides supervision 24 hours a day, from the students’ arrival at the airport, throughout the camp and up to departure. The high ratio of staff to students ensures all students are safe and secure throughout their stay.
The teaching programme at the Summer Camp is designed to ensure maximum learning through fun and interesting topics. Many lessons are theme based, with one theme running throughout the day and continuing into the activity programme. This approach helps to solidify themes, topics, grammar points and vocabulary in a student’s mind, encouraging the retention and use of English.
Students can opt to replace 3 afternoon activities per week with professional golf training on Windlesham’s own 8 hole golf course. Qualified coaches take student through the processes needed to be the next Tiger Woods! The course covers driving, trap work and putting to ensure the participants become well rounded players.
3 afternoons per week will be mastering riding techniques, learning how to care for horses in a responsible way and may go into the great British countryside to enjoy pony treks. Qualified instructors will take students through everything step by step, so even the most inexperienced riders will enjoy the horse riding extra.
Students stay in wonderful multi-bedded dormitories, for a traditional English boarding school experience. The dorms are very large, bright and colourful, providing a perfect atmosphere for students to have fun. The school itself is a very stimulating environment with fantastic facilities for sports, a large school theatre, games rooms and computer rooms.
