More about this camp

This camp is run by ESC in Wimbledon, south-west London, from the organisation behind one of the UK's well-known language schools. The residential programme is for students aged 14 to 17; a day programme opens to ages 10 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take a Main Study English course combined with Plus Courses, which include options such as Film Making. Daily trips into central London are part of the programme, so students see the city regularly rather than on occasional excursions. Accommodation — three options, with published supplements. Full-board homestay is offered in single rooms at an extra GBP 340 per week or shared rooms at GBP 300 per week, with carefully selected host families. A residential option is also available. Publishing the homestay supplements openly is unusual and helpful — it lets families see the cost difference directly rather than discovering it at checkout. Families should confirm what the residential option costs and what each includes. Ages, dates and duration. Residential is 14 to 17; the day programme covers 10 to 17. Sessions begin in late June, with up to eight arrival dates on the main courses — a generous spread. The day programme opens the camp to younger children who live locally. Location and travel. Wimbledon is in south-west London, on the underground and rail network, around half an hour from the centre and within reach of Gatwick and Heathrow. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit teenagers who want a London base with daily access to the centre and a choice between host family and residence, plus creative Plus Courses like film-making. Local families are served by the day programme from age 10. Families wanting an enclosed campus outside the city should compare the provider's Epsom or Lord Wandsworth boarding-school camps.
