Course Description
This is a summer camp for students aged 13-16. It combines 28 lessons (21 hours) of general English teaching per week with a full programme of interesting activities and excursions. Our camp has been running since 2009, giving children and teenagers an opportunity to learn more about Cambridge University life. The camp is located at Lucy Cavendish, a Cambridge University college, with on-campus classrooms, facilities and residential accommodation. This is an ideal centre for our 13-16 year old students who are looking for a small campus course, in the centre of Cambridge, with a taste of university life and a very personal atmosphere. Only individuals or small groups of friends are allowed at this camp, so it is ideal for students travelling by themselves or with a friend.
