About
About the Course
Camp Cooper provides engaging English language tuition as part of the overall camp experience, but the focus is not solely on academics. Teachers work with each student one‑to‑one to build confidence and accomplish language goals, and all English levels are welcome. However, the main learning happens through daily interaction with campers from around the world, during activities, meals, and evening events.

Prices include accommodation, all meals, all activities, English tuition, evening entertainment, and full supervision. Optional extras at additional cost: airport pick‑up/drop‑off and a visa support letter.
Accommodation
Campers stay in shared dorms (warm, homely feel) with approximately 5‑10 campers per room (cabin groups of 8‑12). Bedding is provided. Bathrooms and showers are shared. Girls stay in one of two modern boarding houses. Campers may request to share with a friend of similar age. All accommodation is on‑campus.
Meal Plan
Full board is provided, with all meals served family‑style in the dining hall. Breakfast offers a choice of continental or cooked options. Lunch and dinner include a varied salad and pasta bar alongside hot main courses. Dessert is served at lunch and dinner. A bedtime snack is also provided each evening. The camp caters for a wide range of dietary requirements and allergies.
Activities & Excursions
Activities are split into electives (campers choose two per week to specialise in), cabin activities, and all‑camp special events (e.g., zombie apocalypse, Hunger Games themes). All electives are available. Activities include: tennis, dance, journalism, mountain biking, art, music, film‑making, outdoor adventure, performing arts, football, and sports. Evening events include dance parties, music festivals, colour war competitions, singing in the dining hall, dressing up, and camp dances.

The Teen Leadership Programme (Leaders‑in‑Training) is designed for young people aged 15‑17 who are ready to take on new challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities. The main goal is to develop strong leadership skills and life skills such as communication, problem‑solving, and cooperation – all while having fun at Camp. The unique feature is the hands‑on learning environment where participants spend mornings on an elective activity of their choice, afternoons on the Team Challenge, and evenings participating in all‑camp special events.
Mornings are spent on one elective activity per week, chosen from a broad range of options. Afternoons are dedicated to the Team Challenge, where teenagers are placed into small teams (approximately 6‑10) and work together on a variety of hands‑on challenges designed to develop leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, media skills, and problem‑solving – including running real camp events. All activities are facilitated by staff, allowing teens to practise leadership daily. Evenings are spent immersed in Camp Cooper’s special events, such as carnivals, games, talent shows, and campfires. Participants receive feedback, evaluations, and a reference from the LIT Director. The programme is available for 2, 4, or 6 weeks.
The programme focuses on developing leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and problem‑solving skills through hands‑on challenges and real responsibilities.
