English Camps – DURING THE HOLIDAYS
We create places where language comes alive and lifelong friendships are formed. In our English language camps and language trips, children and teenagers learn English in everyday life – through sports, creative activities, and shared camp life, accompanied by native-speaking trainers. In this way, we promote language skills, self-confidence, and social skills.

FAQ
Every child is unique – and that's a good thing! And that's exactly what we're going on to do in our camps for friends Some are particularly athletic, others love creative activities, are true tinkerers, or nature explorers. In our camps, we offer precisely this variety of stimuli and activities because we are convinced: Children learn best when they feel comfortable and safe, are curious and enjoy themselves.
Sporting activities like football, volleyball, basketball, swimming, team games, and skill games are always part of our camps. We also always offer cool creative tutorials, such as upcycling. Depending on the camp location, we offer special highlights like horseback riding, climbing, bubble soccer, bike trips, beach fun, sailing, tennis, and more. You can find an initial overview here. hereIf you are looking for a specific activity: We are happy to help! Contact
Our English lessons generally take place in the mornings. Of course Not like in school, but interactive and with a strong communicative focus. Even after the lessons, only English is spoken. – while eating, swimming, playing football, climbing, riding, … and also, for example, during our creative tutorials. Simply all day. This way, the kids quickly lose their "fear" of speaking freely and realize how great it is to communicate in a "foreign" language.
A first City Camp (= without overnight stay) in the 3rd or 4th grade is perfect (recommended age: 8-14 years): The children are open, curious, and learn the language playfully – in a positive, stress-free environment. Those who are a bit more confident and want an even stronger "camp feeling" should ideally go to our Holiday camps (with overnight stays), recommended age: 8-16 years. From the age of 12, kids can join us on Language course in England (recommended age: 12-18 years). But don't worry: everything is fully organized and supervised by camps for friends. Starting with us personally picking up the kids and teenagers at the airport. At Wrekin College, our educational director even joins the camp.
