Our junior summer camps offer learners aged 14-18 from all over the world the opportunity to improve their English language skills whilst enjoying a varied and exciting activity programme.
Kingston
Located on the beautiful River Thames and 20 km from the centre of London, the historic town of Kingston now has the title of Premier Retail Centre in the South East of England. Old meets new in its centre, full of shops, cafes and leisure facilities, 5 minutes walk from the residence. The modern Bentall Shopping Centre alone has nearly 90 shops. As well as easy access to London, Kingston is close to major tourist attractions such as Hampton Court, Windsor Castle and Thorpe Amusement Park. The South Coast, Brighton and Oxford are only an hour away by coach.
Kingston has excellent airport connections, 30 minutes from Heathrow and 40 minutes from Gatwick.
The Campus
Teaching, accommodation, catering and social facilities are all provided at Kingston University. Our residence, Kingston Bridge House, is 5 minutes walk from Kingston centre and 20 minutes walk from the main campus. The central location means students can easily reach the river and Kingston's many attractions on foot.
Campus facilities include a bright, modern food hall, spacious classrooms, and a theatre for film shows and other activities. We also arrange discos and other fun activities, all for junior students, at the nearby Students' Union Building.
Accommodation
In Kingston all students are accommodated in single study bedrooms in a modern residence building located beside the River Thames and opposite a large park. The residence also has vending machines and a laundry room. The accommodation is very safe with St. Giles staff staying on site as well as the residence's own security.
Activity Programme
There is one full-day and one half-day excursion per week. Full-day excursions include Central London, Cambridge, Oxford, Brighton, Thorpe Amusement Park and Bath. Half-day excursions include Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, Richmond Park, Thames River Cruise and London attractions. There is also a full social programme every afternoon and evening, including film shows, discos, bowling, cinema, football, and access to Kingston town centre.
