More about this camp

The CES Leeds Junior Summer Centre runs from Park Place in Leeds, in the north of England. It accepts students aged 12 to 17 and operates from June through August. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English per week, with afternoons devoted to sports, activities and cultural visits and full-day excursions at weekends. Leeds is a large northern city with universities, museums and shopping, and sits close to the Yorkshire countryside and historic York, which gives the excursion programme range without long journeys. Accommodation — a real choice. As at the provider's Edinburgh centre, families choose between two formats. Full-board homestay places students with carefully selected and regularly inspected host families. Full-board residential accommodation places them in a supervised residence. The two suit different children: homestay gives more everyday English and family contact but involves daily travel and unsupervised evenings, while the residence provides continuous supervision and keeps students together. Being able to choose is uncommon among the camps in this catalogue. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 12 to 17 on both options. Seven sessions are listed, beginning in early June, and the provider states the programme runs from June to August — one of the longer seasons available. Location and travel. Park Place is in central Leeds, in West Yorkshire. Leeds Bradford Airport serves the city, with Manchester a larger option around an hour away. Leeds is roughly two and a half hours from London by train. Transfer arrangements are not stated as included and should be confirmed with CES. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families looking for a UK city programme outside the south-east, where costs and crowds are typically lower than in London, and those who want to choose the accommodation format for their particular child. The long season helps families with fixed holiday dates. Students specifically wanting London or a coastal setting should look at other centres, and families should ask what the price difference is between homestay and residence, as it is not published here.
