Excursions and Trips at our Summer Camps
Students staying for more than one week will be offered 2 full-day excursions. These excursions are included in the overall *course price.
Excursions are an important and compulsory part of the programme and enable students to visit London (optional) and other places of cultural and historical interest, go to the seaside as well as provide an opportunity for recreational activities and shopping. Following a busy week at school, weekend excursions allow students to enjoy their new friendships in a more informal, genuine and relaxed setting. On Saturdays and Sundays, students can choose between two options depending on their previous visits and individual preferences. While we do our best to accommodate students’ preferences, some options are subject to minimum and maximum numbers and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Our most popular excursions include those to theme parks, where the students have a fantastic day full of roller coaster fun relaxing and enjoying time with their new friends. On the other day, we visit a town or city of interest that is near the venue. This could be Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath or similar and will offer students a chance to soak up some real British culture. Students will be shown the places of interest in those towns, and also given the opportunity to do some shopping.

*All excursions are fully supervised by our experienced staff. Packed lunches will be provided. Many venues, including theme parks and the Emirates Stadium are now cashless so we recommend students have a debit card if they want to make purchases.
