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.
Southampton
Famous for its maritime heritage and home to the Titanic, Southampton still welcomes cruise liners and luxury yachts to its bustling waterfront today.
The popular West Quay shopping centre, the largest on the south coast of England, and the variety of entertainment complexes, offering ten-pin bowling, cinemas, swimming and theatres, make Southampton an exciting environment in which students can relax and learn.
Southampton is ideally located for easy access to London and its major airports as well as many other popular destinations, such as Winchester, Bournemouth, Brighton and The New Forest.
The Campus
Teaching, accommodation, catering, sports and social facilities are all provided at Southampton Solent University. Its position in the heart of the city means students can easily reach Southampton's many attractions on foot.
Campus facilities include a bright, modern cafeteria, spacious classrooms, large sports halls and a theatre for film shows and other activities. We also arrange discos and other fun events, all for junior students only, at a local nightclub.
Accommodation
All students are accommodated in single bedrooms with private bathrooms. The accommodation is in a modern residence a few minutes' walk across a pleasant park from the main campus. Additionally the residence offers a common room with TV, pool table and vending machines, where students can relax with their new friends. A laundry room is also available. The accommodation is very safe, with St Giles staff staying on-site, as well as the residence's own 24-hour security.
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 well educated 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
The programme includes one full-day and one half-day excursion per week. Full-day excursions are to London, Brighton, Bath and the Isle of Wight. Half-day excursions are to Winchester, The New Forest, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Stonehenge.
There is also a full social programme every afternoon and evening, including a variety of sports (e.g. football, volleyball, basketball) and other activities (e.g. film shows, discos, bowling) and visits to local sites of interest.
