Discover the secret world of animals, explore what makes a video game great, or investigate different natural energy sources. These are just some of the engaging themes at The British Council’s June 2024 Holidays Camps that allow students to explore the world beyond English.
The British Council’s June 2024 Holidays Camps are designed for Early Years to Secondary students. The camps have different age-appropriate themes that use English to explore the world around us.
Beyond developing students’ written and spoken communication skills, camps also encourage problem-solving, collaboration and creativity. Students get to strengthen their vocabulary and grammar while developing their world knowledge and intellectual curiosity.
This is done through activities such as games, crafts and hands-on experiments. Group research projects allow students to collaborate and make new friends at the camps. All camps are led by internationally qualified, experienced and professional teachers.
