We'll let you know when this camp adds new dates.

Truly all-inclusive boarding English at a historic British school — even insurance and London-airport transfers are in the price. CAE's residential camps run at Stamford School: three age-banded programmes (8–12, 12–15, 14–17) with a maximum of 12 per class, a full sport/art/activity programme and decades of young-learner experience. Key facts: Ages 8–17 in three bands (Moreton Hall 8–12, Old Buckenham 12–15, Princess Helena 14–17; a 17–20 Young Leaders course also runs) • Stamford, Lincolnshire, UK • Residential English summer camp • Fixed two-week sessions in July and August, or both combined as a four-week stay • Sunday arrivals, Saturday departures • Fully inclusive: tuition, boarding, all meals, excursions, admissions, INSURANCE and transfers from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton (09:00–19:00) • Levels elementary–advanced (no complete beginners) • End-of-course report and certificate • Max class 12, good nationality mix. Best for: families who want one clean price with zero add-ons and small classes — and siblings of different ages on one campus in age-appropriate programmes. Parents should check: final dates, prices and availability (fixed start/finish dates only); age-range flexibility in special circumstances; arrival flights within the 09:00–19:00 transfer window; visa requirements. Information checked against official provider sources; dates and fees are confirmed by the school. Details may change — always confirm directly with the provider before booking.

More about this camp

CAE runs residential English camps at historic British independent schools, with students boarding on site. The programme is genuinely all-inclusive: the provider states that insurance and London-airport transfers are inside the price, not charged separately. For families comparing quotes across providers, that materially changes the real cost, since both are usually extras. Programme and activities. Teaching is organised into three age-banded programmes rather than one mixed course: ages 8 to 12, 12 to 15 and 14 to 17. Classes hold a maximum of twelve students. A full sport, art and activity programme runs alongside the lessons. Because each band is a separate programme, a student's eligibility depends on which one they join. Venue — confirm before booking. The listing here is titled for one school, while the three individual programmes carry the names of three different British schools: Moreton Hall, Old Buckenham and Princess Helena. CAE operates at more than one venue, so this may reflect several campuses running in parallel, but the information as currently held does not make clear which programme takes place where. No single location is asserted on this page for that reason. Families should ask CAE directly which school hosts the programme and dates they are considering before booking flights or arranging transfers. Accommodation and meals. Students board on site at a historic independent school, with meals and accommodation included in the all-inclusive price. Ages, dates and duration. The overall range runs from 8 to 17, split across the three bands described above. Sessions are listed from mid-July, with two arrival dates per programme. Travel. London-airport transfers are included in the price — an unusual and genuinely useful inclusion for families flying in, though the relevant airport and journey time will depend on which venue applies. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families who want a predictable total cost with no surprise extras for insurance or transfers, and those with children at either end of the age range, since the banded structure means an 8-year-old is not placed alongside 17-year-olds. Small class sizes suit students who need attention rather than a large group. The venue question should be settled first, as location will affect travel, setting and facilities.
