Our junior summer camps offer learners aged 10-18 from all over the world the opportunity to improve their English language skills whilst enjoying a varied and exciting activity programme.
Nottingham
Well known as home of the legendary Robin Hood, Nottingham is a vibrant city full of leisure attractions right in the middle of England between York, Birmingham and Cambridge. The historical site of Warwick Castle and the traditional English seaside resort of Skegness are also less than two hours away.
Nottingham has a large shopping centre and an attractive town centre and is 30 minutes from Nottingham East Midlands airport as well as 2 hours from London.
The Campus
The Nottingham programme takes place within a closed campus, which is ideally suited to young learners. The campus is surrounded by parkland and is on the edge of the city itself, giving easy access to it's numerous attractions.
Residence facilities include a bright, modern dining room, classrooms, a common room for student use, vending machines, laundry facilities and a large common room for film shows and other activities. Next to the residence are the swimming pool, tennis courts, the sports centre and playing fields. We also arrange discos and other fun events, all for junior students only.
Accommodation
In Nottingham all students are accommodated in single and twin rooms. The accommodation is in a modern residence and all meals and lessons are in the same building. The accommodation is very safe, with St Giles staff staying on-site, as well as the residence's own night-time security.
NB: We will try to place students according to their preference, but room allocation is subject to availability.
Students study for 20 lessons per week in international classes of up to 15 students. Each lesson lasts for 50 minutes. On their first day students take a test to ensure they are placed in an appropriate level. There are six levels of study, from beginner to advanced. All students receive an end-of-course certificate.
All our teachers are graduates with recognised TEFL certificates, and are extensively briefed on the particular needs of young learners. The language is brought to life through a vibrant and functional approach. In addition to formal language skills training, lessons include project work, videos, games and use of St Giles International's wide variety of modern English language teaching resources.
Activity Programme
There is one full-day and one half-day excursion per week. Full-day excursions include London, Cambridge, Warwick Castle, York and Cadburys Chocolate Factory. Half-day excursions include Belvoir Castle, Chatsworth House, Sherwood Forest and The Heights of Abraham in Matlock. There is also a full social programme every afternoon and evening, including a variety of sports on the campus (e.g. football, volleyball, tennis basketball) and other activities (e.g. film shows, discos, bowling, swimming, ice skating) and visits to local sites of interest (e.g. Nottingham Castle, The Tales Of Robin Hood and The Galleries of Justice)
