Summer camp for 11-17 year olds
              3rd July - 25th August 2023

Summer camp 2021

Dear students and agents- our homestays and junior/ young adult courses are fully booked from 1st July to 29th July 2023 - if you would like to make a booking this summer please come from 29th July onwards!

For peace of mind- free travel and medical insurance included for all student bookings as per the terms of our Endsleigh policy.

This summer- 2023- we are offering our junior courses in 2 age ranges:

  • 11- 14 years- our Junior English Explorer course

  • 15 - 17 years- our Young Adult English Explorer course

Junior English Explorer 11-14 years  and Young Adult English Explorer 15 -17 years            

 

This course- taught in two different age ranges- centres around daily topics related to everyday life experience of young learners and teenagers.

Lessons take place in the mornings or afternoons on a weekly zig zag timetable, with activities and excursions taking place on the opposite stream.

Our activity programme is specially designed to make the most of being in Totnes, a special community full of creative, sustaining and exciting ideas and people. The programme offers:

  • Three half-day sessions per week focused on developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as giving them physical activities so that they are physically and mentally challenged. Examples of activities include quizzes around the town, riverside walks, organised sport and orienteering walks.

  • Three evening activities per week focusing on shared performances, parties and presentations.

  • Two half-day excursions outside Totnes on public transport where possible to the South Devon coast for coastal walks and beach activities and to Dartmoor National Park for walks, history projects and environmental visits. 

  • One full day Saturday excursion further afield to Plymouth, Exeter and Cornwall for example.

Safety and responsibility

For all our juniors,  safety is our number one concern  (followed closely by  having fun and learning English, of course!).  It is  important  for us to be able  to offer parents complete peace of mind, and  we provide the following to this end:

  • Host families carefully selected by the school team - all families are  inspected regularly and the responsible adult in homestay accommodation for under 18 students is DBS checked and other adults noted in the home check for the DBS

  • Professional, experienced and qualified supervisors for all outdoor adventure activities

  • Minimum of 1:15 supervision on all excursions and activities 

  • 24 hour emergency phone number

  • We use public transport as much as we can to protect our environment.  Where we do need to use a car or coach, we offset our carbon footprint through, for example planting trees.
