Stafford House New York Columbia Summer Camp: English Camp at Columbia University

The Stafford House New York Columbia Summer Camp runs at Columbia University, in Morningside Heights, upper Manhattan, New York City. It accepts students aged 14 to 17. Programme and activities. The camp combines English lessons with excursions and evening activities, on the campus of one of America's most prestigious universities. Living on a working Ivy League campus in Manhattan, with New York City for the excursion programme, is the distinguishing feature. Accommodation. Students live in residential accommodation on the Columbia University campus. Families should confirm room configurations and what supervision applies outside teaching hours. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 14 to 17 — a school-age band with no adult upper end, older-leaning to match a Manhattan setting. One session is currently listed, beginning in late June; families should confirm whether further dates are available. Location and travel. Columbia is in Morningside Heights, upper Manhattan, on the subway network with access across the city. JFK, LaGuardia and Newark are all usable arrival airports. Families travelling from outside the US should check visa requirements well in advance. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit older teenagers, 14 to 17, curious about US universities and drawn to a prestigious Ivy League campus in Manhattan. It suits a student mature enough for a city environment. Given the transatlantic travel, visa planning should start early. Stafford House also runs a second New York camp at Wagner College on Staten Island, plus Los Angeles and San Francisco camps, so families can compare US venues.
