English Summer Camp for Teens at Newcastle University

The academic programme consists of 20 lessons (45 minutes each) per week, taught by qualified and friendly teachers. Classes have a maximum of 17 students and are formed based on a placement test, age, and an international nationality mix. The curriculum emphasizes communicative skills, with lessons delivered in well-equipped classrooms. All materials and an end-of-course certificate and report are included.

The core package includes English lessons, full-board accommodation in university residences, a weekly programme of on-site activities and half/full-day excursions, and comprehensive welfare support. Optional excursions (e.g., to Edinburgh, Alnwick Castle) and some specific activities (like cinema trips) are available for an extra fee. Group airport transfers are also included in the package. Personal transfers can be arranged through Embassy Summer for an additional fee. A refundable damage deposit (£30/€40) is required on arrival. Insurance can be purchased separately.

Students stay in single, en-suite rooms within Newcastle University's secure student residences (Kensington Terrace). Rooms are equipped with a desk, chair, wardrobe, and bed linen. Facilities include communal lounges, a dining room, free Wi-Fi, and self-service laundry. Safety is ensured by 24-hour supervision, including dedicated night staff and regular security protocols.

Full board is provided in the campus canteen. Meals include breakfast (continental or hot options), lunch (with vegetarian choice), and dinner (with vegetarian choice). Packed lunches are provided on excursion days. The centre can cater to most dietary requirements if notified well in advance.
