More about this camp

The Stafford House San Francisco Summer Camp runs at UC Berkeley, in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, in the United States. It accepts students aged 10 to 17. Programme and activities. The camp combines English lessons with excursions and evening activities, on the campus of one of the world's leading public universities, with the San Francisco Bay Area for the excursion programme. The UC Berkeley setting carries strong appeal for students thinking about US higher education. Accommodation. Students live in residential accommodation on the UC Berkeley 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 10 to 17 — reaching younger than most US programmes in this catalogue. Four arrival dates are listed from late June. Families of the youngest children should ask how age groups are separated. Location and travel. Berkeley is across the bay from San Francisco. San Francisco and Oakland airports both serve the area. 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 world-famous US university campus experience in California, for a student aged 10 to 17, including younger children. The UC Berkeley name is the draw for a student curious about US study. Given the transatlantic or transpacific travel, families of a younger child should confirm grouping and supervision, and visa planning should start early. Stafford House also runs Los Angeles and New York camps in the USA.
