More about this camp

The Stafford House Los Angeles Summer Camp runs at California State University Channel Islands, near Los Angeles, in the United States. It accepts students aged 12 to 18. Programme and activities. The camp is a two-week English-plus-activities programme on a US university campus, with the Californian setting and Los Angeles within reach for excursions. Accommodation. Students stay in residential accommodation on the CSU Channel Islands campus. Families should confirm room configurations and, as a university rather than a school, what supervision applies outside teaching hours, particularly for a younger child. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 12 to 18 and runs in two-week blocks. The upper limit reaches past school-leaving age, so families should ask how age groups are separated. Two arrival dates are listed from early July; families should confirm whether further dates are available. Location and travel. CSU Channel Islands is near Camarillo, north-west of Los Angeles. Los Angeles International Airport is the arrival point, well connected internationally. Families travelling from outside the US should check visa requirements well in advance, as these are not covered here. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families wanting a Californian university campus experience with English tuition, drawn to the Los Angeles area. Given the transatlantic or transpacific travel and the 12-to-18 range, families of a younger child should confirm the grouping and supervision, and visa planning should start early. Stafford House also runs New York and San Francisco camps in the USA for families preferring those cities.
