International Summer Camps

The Brecon Beacons National Park is one of the premier locations in the UK to enjoy a wide range of adventurous activities such as gorge walking, rock climbing, canoeing, raft building and abseiling. We shall also be camping overnight on the coast of Wales to enjoy some exhilarating coasteering.

Sports coaches will be leading team based games in traditional sports such as tennis, cricket, swimming and rounders as well as frisbee golf, orienteering, dodgeball and capture the flag.

International students will be introduced to aspects of British culture, art, theatre and photography to experiment with different ways of expression other than language.

We will be maximising the location of Christ College and introducing students to the natural world through practical learning whilst on field trips.

One full day trip is planned to either Stratford on Avon, home of Shakespeare and typical English town, or Oxford, Bath or Cardiff.

Formal English Language tuition will take place in classes of 8-10 children who will be grouped according to ability. English language tuition will focus on teaching students to express their thoughts and ideas in English and to respond to English speakers. Both written and oral proficiency will be targeted. There will be two hours of classes each week day.

Students will be immersed daily in English language as English will be spoken by all camp participants and teachers at all times.

If you would like to experience life in a British home, there is also the option for participants to stay with a local family for one week before camp starts to learn about English family life and culture and enjoy being immersed in English language on a daily basis as the family goes about daily life. This would be an excellent insight into life in the U.K. and a good preparation, in terms of English language acquisition, for the International Summer Camp.
