Stafford House New York Wagner Summer Camp: English Camp at Wagner College

The Stafford House New York Wagner Summer Camp runs at Wagner College on Staten Island, in New York City. It accepts students aged 12 to 18. Programme and activities. The camp combines English lessons with excursions and evening activities, on a campus that is greener and more contained than a Manhattan location, with New York City accessible via the Staten Island ferry and subway for the excursion programme. Accommodation. Students live in residential accommodation on the Wagner College campus. Families should confirm room configurations and what supervision applies outside teaching hours, particularly for a younger child. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 12 to 18. The upper limit reaches past school-leaving age, so families should ask how the youngest and oldest are grouped. One session is currently listed, beginning in late June; families should confirm whether further dates are available. Location and travel. Staten Island is one of New York City's five boroughs, connected to Manhattan by the free Staten Island ferry. 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 families wanting a New York experience for a student aged 12 to 18 but preferring a greener, more contained campus to Manhattan. Stafford House also runs a Columbia University camp in Manhattan itself, plus Los Angeles and San Francisco camps, so families can compare US venues. Given the intake runs to 18 and the transatlantic travel, families of a younger child should confirm grouping and supervision, and plan visas early.
