ELAC Bath University Summer Centre: English Camp at the University of Bath

The ELAC Bath University Summer Centre delivers the ELAC Discovery Programme on the University of Bath campus at Claverton Down, above the city in Somerset. Programme and activities. The Discovery Programme combines English lessons with skills development, creative and physical activities, evening entertainment and educational excursions. The excursion list is strong: the Roman Baths in the city itself, plus London and Bristol. Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage city, so the cultural content is genuinely close at hand. Accommodation — two formats. On-campus rooms are single, in standard and en-suite grades, with shared communal areas. Alternatively, students can take full-board homestay with local host families. The two suit different children: campus accommodation keeps students together under continuous supervision and gives each their own room, while homestay adds English practice at home but involves daily travel and evenings outside school supervision. The single-room campus option is worth noting — most residential centres in this catalogue use shared rooms. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 11 to 17 on all options. Five sessions are listed, beginning in early July. Location and travel. The University of Bath sits on Claverton Down, on the hillside above the city. Bristol Airport is around forty-five minutes away, and Bath has direct rail links to London in about ninety minutes. Transfer arrangements are not published and should be confirmed. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families who want a university campus rather than a school, students who would prefer their own room, and those drawn to Bath specifically. A university campus is not a boarding school, so families of younger students should ask what supervision applies outside teaching hours. ELAC also runs a centre at Prior Park College in Bath — a Georgian school rather than a university — so families set on the city have a choice of setting as well as accommodation.
