Frequently Asked Questions

Our camp accepts students aged 8 to 15 years old. We believe this is a significant time in a child’s learning journey, and our lessons, activities and trips will be suitable to meet the learning needs of their age.

Our English Summer Camp is priced at £2,300 (2027 pricing) paid upon application. This covers two weeks’ accommodation, three meals a day, classroom supplies, excursions, and 24/7 on-site support. 

The cost of the two-week summer camp covers two weeks’ accommodation, three homemade meals a day, a minimum of 15 hours of English lessons a week, afternoon activities, two excursions (including travel costs), free time and evening social gatherings. Students will also receive a keepsake gift pack upon arrival.

We welcome students of all English proficiency levels, from beginner to advanced. Each student will have a pre-meeting before arriving at camp, which will help us plan lessons tailored to their ability. This allows everyone to progress and feel confident in their English learning.

We have purposely created a boutique summer camp, enrolling 10 to 20 students for the two weeks. Our classes will consist of smaller groups for more focused teaching, with students coming together for sports, social activities, and excursions. This ensures that each student receives sufficient attention from the tutors, leading to improved learning.

Our English tutors hold recognised TEFL/CELTA or similar qualifications, and have experience working with international students. Our team are also trained in youth supervision, first aid training, and safeguarding.

Safety is our top priority. All staff undergo a full background and DBS check, we have on-site first aiders, and emergency procedures are in place. We also have protocols in place to ensure the safety of our students while in our care.

We have dedicated first-aiders available 24/7 on-site who can deal with minor injuries or illnesses. For anything serious, we have doctors available through our NHS service. Parents will be contacted and updated in every instance, and all students will be required to have medical and travel insurance.

Meals are included in the camp’s cost and are prepared on-site by the Moulton College kitchen. We offer three nutritious meals a day, and a shop is on site for students who wish to purchase additional snacks. We cater to all dietary requirements and will request this information as part of your application. 

Mouton College is equipped for wheelchair access, and any necessary transport can accommodate accessibility needs. For any other requirements, such as medical conditions, allergies, or anxieties, please include this information within your application, and we can discuss all aspects during your pre-camp meeting.

Moulton College offers bright, modern spaces for your child’s stay. Surrounded by fields, animals, and local amenities, everything is within walking distance. Student accommodation comprises single or twin rooms with en-suite facilities, free Wi-Fi, and laundry facilities as needed. So, students can feel at home.

Activities may include a variety of:

• Sports such as tennis, football, or netball.
• Creative arts such as drama, music, or crafting.
• Outdoor adventure such as orienteering and team challenges.
• Days out such as local towns, cultural visits, and city trips, including London.

Through our own learning experience, we’ve found that using the native language in day-to-day activities is an easier and faster way to understand how English is used and spoken. By introducing skills such as maths, navigation, finance, and problem-solving, you learn more than just spelling and grammar.

We believe that time spent in another country helps students develop confidence, independence, teamwork, communication skills, and cultural awareness. These are skills they can take far beyond the classroom and incorporate into their professional and personal futures.

Students will be encouraged to speak English from the moment they arrive until the day they leave. They will be using English to engage with other international students as well as interacting with tutors and the public during their time with us.

Parents will receive daily updates about their child’s time at the summer camp, sharing pictures of their experiences (with consent). You can also follow our social media posts, and we have 24/7 emergency contacts if you have any concerns.
