More about this camp

The City Explorers summer camp takes place at Adcote School, an independent school set in a historic country house and parkland estate at Little Ness, a short drive from Shrewsbury in Shropshire. The camp runs in two-week blocks with a Sunday arrival and Saturday departure, with the final block of the summer running in August. The programme is built around discovering Britain. On-campus activity days on the parkland estate alternate with full-day excursions to five cities: London, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Conwy and Shrewsbury. On every trip the camp keeps a staffing ratio of one adult to five campers, and back at school students are supervised around the clock by residential staff. Campers live on campus in twin and shared bedrooms and take three meals a day at school. A free airport transfer is available from Manchester Airport for flights arriving between 08:00 and 20:00, which makes the camp straightforward to reach for international families. The camp does not publish a standard price list: families receive a quote on enquiry, and a non-refundable deposit confirms the booking. This makes an early enquiry worthwhile for families considering the August block. Availability, dates and prices may change quickly. Please always confirm details directly with the camp provider before making travel arrangements.
