Discover the perfect adventure at our inspiring & nurturing overnight Summer Camp. We offer a unique experience for 8-15 year olds from around the world, packed with a huge and diverse range of activities.
Our Summer Camp allow young people to experience and learn life skills while expert and empathetic guidance are provided. All whilst making friendships that span the globe along the way.
With L&E, it is especially relevant that young people develop their independence, their confidence and their communication skills. Again and again, in their own words, they tell us they’ve had the time of their lives.
When children pack their bags for an adventure with us, we like to think they’ll return with much more than just their belongings. We set out to inspire them, and that starts from the minute they arrive. We always use venues with magnificent architecture which hints at some of the magic ahead. Once the camp gets underway, everything buzzes into life with L&E energy. Children return from their adventures with more confidence, new friendships, new skills and broader horizons.
At L&E World Camps UK & Canada, we have a clear motto: ‘Happy Children Thrive’. Combine this with the amazing location, friendly staff, a safe and well-supervised environment, stunning activity courses and evening programmes. A personal service is also offered from the L&E World Camp Team; from the moment you enquire all the way through to the camps they are there to talk though everything and anything.
No and maybe!! Every session there are Adventure, Sport and Creative activity options and they can be chosen day by day. However, if you want to do the English course, the L&E Extra courses or indeed the Young Global Leaders course then this must be chosen before arrival.
The accommodation is mainly dormitory style and the rooms usually sleep between 2 and 6 children. We have a few single rooms for older teens. The rooms are homely and cosy and can be personalised with a duvet cover from home. We will ensure that children of the same age and gender are put together and we will try and split up all the nationalities so that everyone is speaking English!!
There are 2 main ways. You can either bring them directly to camp (usually from 5pm on the starting Sunday). You are invited to share a BBQ or Afternoon Tea (depending on the weather!). It’s a also a good chance to see the venue and meet the staff for peace of mind. Pickup is before 12pm on the final Saturday. Send them on a ferry, flight or train and we’ll pick them up from the suggested Ferry Terminals, Airports or at the train station.

We aim to have a staff to child ratio of 1:5 which enables us to get to know each child very well. Our tutors are a mix of teachers and graduate students and are from all over the world. We are lucky to have many staff return to us each year which enables us to provide a continuity to the many children who come back year after year.
