Fantastic camps

Our two daughters have attended the L&E camps for respectively 7 and 5 years. Every year, they are quite excited to go there. Despite not speaking English at home, the 15-day camps give them a solid and painless refresh of their English language skills.
But more than this, the children really appreciate the atmosphere and the large range of activities, bringing a balanced mix of fun and education. I was so amazed when our 10-year old child told us one evening that she had experienced diving in the pool and that it was really fun ! Or when we saw the pictures of night camps or rock climbing. The camps helped them grow autonomous, giving them also an appetite for testing new activities.
Every year is also an opportunity to make new friends, some of them now friends for life : our daughters are still in contact with other campers from China or Mauritius. The mix of nationalities and cultures is a real chance to better understand other cultures, learn more about the others and finally better live together.
We also appreciated that the camps are allergens free : one of our daughters is allergic to peanuts, cashews, pistachio an mustard. There has never been any issue.
Our oldest daughter will this year attend the Teen traveler program.

Brilliant

Our daughter Kasia travelled from New Zealand to attend this camp in the UK, a long way from home, but she loved every minute of it and wants to go back every year!

The selection of activities was great and the excursion trips to London and Oxford looked wonderful. I wish there had been something like this available to me when I was young.

The support of the staff was amazing, even allowing Kasia to use a staff phone to speak to us outside of normal hours, because of the time difference.

The friends that Kasia made during the camp were from all over the world and she has kept in touch with many of them - a great sign of the friendships that were made.

Thank you for such a positive and full experience, I hope we will be able to send Kasia on another L&E Camp in the future!

Volunteer for as many activities as possible to get the most out of it!

A wonderful way for a grandmother to invest in her grandchildren's future

As a grandmother who has been sending four of my grandchildren to L&E World camps over some years now I just want to say that the experience in terms of communicating in English, having fun and discovering cultural diversity could hardly be more enriching for them. They love the great variety of activities and tell me that time flies. It would seem that the end of camp always comes too soon for them, and as far as I am concerned they get back speaking ever-better English, but also with a real understanding of the 'British way of doing things" .
I shall continue to offer the more mature programs of Teen Travel and Young Global Leaders to my older grandchildren, because I truly believe that L&E is a wonderful way for me to invest in their future.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I think it is a good idea to use all the material L&E posts online (website, interviews on Youtube Channel etc.) to prepare the children who are attending camp for the first time.

A genuine melting pot!

Our son has grown up in Israel, but has significant links to the UK on my side. We were keen on finding a way of strength if these, and also give him a chance to meet and make friends with children from other parts of the world.

L and E is a remarkable facility. Combining outdoor activities with group games, physical challenges with creative endeavours, Adam has learnt a huge amount about the world - and about himself - in the 3 camps he has attended. As our son grows older, we (and he) are really looking to returning to L and E, and perhaps even participating on an independent travel scheme.
Two thumbs up!

What would you improve about this program?
Adam has really enjoyed his three summers at L and E. we wouldn’t change a thing!

The Best camp Ever!

I have been to L&E World Camp UK 3 times and loved each year more and more...
The staff are so kind and warm and really want to help. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.
I love all the activities that we do but particularly the Adventure...in one week I did Climbing, Kayaking, Survival Skills and scuba diving!
The evening activities are my favourite....ice breaker games, camp fire, movie night, oscar nights but best of all are the theme nights....Harry Potter was seriously the one of the best nights of my life.
But I think think the best thing about L&E is the friends you make. I have met friend from all over the world and have even visited some of them....Japan and Spain!

I LOVE L&E!!!! I hope I'll go back to work there when I'm 18!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would stay for longer! The first year I did 1 week, then 2 weeks and last year I did 4 weeks but it still wasn't enough!! 😂
