Embassy Summer Royal Holloway: English Camp on a Secure Campus in Surrey

The language programme focuses on communicative skills and is taught by trained, friendly teachers. It includes 20 lessons of 45 minutes per week, held in the mornings or afternoons. On the first day, students take a placement test (grammar and writing) to ensure they are placed in an appropriate class with approximately 17 students. Lessons are delivered in well-equipped classrooms, and the curriculum emphasizes practical communication. All students receive course materials and an end-of-course certificate upon completion.

The base price includes: English lessons, full-board accommodation in single en-suite or standard rooms on campus, weekly cleaning and bed linen, a full programme of on-site activities and sports, regular half-day and full-day excursions (e.g., London, Oxford, Brighton, Cambridge, Windsor), an end-of-course certificate and arrival/departure transfers on the official arrival day (from specified airports). Optional extras include specific paid excursions (e.g., Thorpe Park, Hampton Court Palace, Madame Tussauds, London Eye, Thames River Cruise) and guard.me insurance if needed. A refundable damage deposit (£30-40) is required in cash upon arrival.

Students live in a closed and secure university campus. Accommodation is in university residence halls, offering a mix of single en-suite and standard rooms. Each room is equipped with a desk, chair, wardrobe, and Wi-Fi. The campus features 24-hour security, CCTV, and a night supervisor for safety. Facilities include shared common rooms, outdoor seating areas, a laundrette (self-service, paid), an on-site shop (card only), and vending machines. Bed linens are provided and changed weekly, but towels are not.

Full board accommodation is provided. All meals are served in the campus dining hall ('The Hub') during set times (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Meals include a variety of hot and cold options, with vegetarian choices available. On weekends, a packed lunch is provided. The centre can cater to most dietary requirements (e.g., allergies) if informed accurately at least two weeks in advance.

The programme offers a diverse and balanced mix of activities. These include daily on-site sports (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), creative workshops and games (treasure hunts, drama, quizzes, crafts), and evening social events (discos, karaoke, film nights, themed parties). A core component is the excursion programme, featuring cultural and historical trips to major cities (London, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton) and local attractions (Windsor Castle, Henley-upon-Thames). Activities aim to encourage socialising, cultural exchange, and using English in informal settings.

On-site facilities are extensive: modern, spacious classrooms, large outdoor sports fields, tennis courts, indoor sports hall, basketball courts, multiple student social spaces, a library with a Starbucks, an on-campus supermarket, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The programme also utilises the excellent location for off-site activities, with easy access to Egham town centre (shops, post office), local transport links to London, and proximity to famous historical and cultural sites across South-East England.
