Camp Cooper Crieff

Camp Cooper provides engaging English language tuition as part of the overall camp experience, but the focus is not solely on academics. Teachers work with each student one‑to‑one to build confidence and accomplish language goals, and all English levels are welcome. However, the main learning happens through daily interaction with campers from around the world, during activities, meals, and evening events.

Prices include accommodation, all meals, all activities, English tuition, evening entertainment, and full supervision. Optional extras at additional cost: airport pick‑up/drop‑off and a visa support letter.

Campers stay in shared dorms (warm, homely feel) with approximately 5‑10 campers per room (cabin groups of 8‑12). Bedding is provided. Bathrooms and showers are shared. Girls stay in one of two modern boarding houses. Campers may request to share with a friend of similar age. All accommodation is on‑campus.

Full board is provided, with all meals served family‑style in the dining hall. Breakfast offers a choice of continental or cooked options. Lunch and dinner include a varied salad and pasta bar alongside hot main courses. Dessert is served at lunch and dinner. A bedtime snack is also provided each evening. The camp caters for a wide range of dietary requirements and allergies.

Activities are split into electives (campers choose two per week to specialise in), cabin activities, and all‑camp special events (e.g., zombie apocalypse, Hunger Games themes). All electives are available. Activities include: tennis, dance, journalism, mountain biking, art, music, film‑making, outdoor adventure, performing arts, football, and sports. Evening events include dance parties, music festivals, colour war competitions, singing in the dining hall, dressing up, and camp dances.

On‑site facilities include forests, sports fields, a swimming pool, tennis courts, art studios, chill‑out areas, and a stage. The camp is located in Crieff, approximately one hour from Edinburgh Airport.

Camp Cooper is a family‑run business with over 20 years of experience. Staff‑to‑camper ratio is approximately 1:4. Staff are selected from over 750 applicants for 35 positions, with full background checks. The camp is accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC). The atmosphere is positive, inclusive, and full of “camp spirit” (singing, dressing up, spontaneity). A unique feature is focusing on what makes each child special with praise and positive reinforcement.
