English summer camp for
kids and teens in England, UK
Residential English summer camp
English Country Schools has been providing fully accredited residential English language and activity summer camps for children and teenagers for over 30 years.
During that time, we have established a reputation for providing the very best English language summer school experience for our pupils. Our residential experience in the English countryside holds the safety and care of pupils paramount at all times.
We aim to help give our pupils a great start in life and prepare them for the excitements and challenges of the future. To succeed, they will need to be well-rounded individuals, self-confident and independent, able to mix and collaborate easily with other people from different countries and cultures.
We therefore provide a wide educational experience that is highly engaging and memorable. We call it Real Learning and aim to make it a part of everything we do. Pupils attending our courses don't just have a fantastic holiday learning English. They also learn life skills, become more confident, more independent and better prepared for life.
Our focus on giving our pupils the best future possible also calls on us to work hard on reducing our emissions and negative environmental impact. We take environmental responsibility seriously and always welcome suggestions on what more we could be doing.
We want all our pupils to leave ECS with great memories, friendships and English language skills.

ECS offers general English lessons for children and teenagers, from beginner to advanced.
Everyone receives 15 hours of formal English lessons each week. Lessons are engaging and fun with professional and caring teachers, great facilities and interesting materials. Outside of lessons all our attivities, sports and trips are run in English so pupils practise their language all day.
