Description

The PLUS English Language Centre organises a summer camp at the University of Kingston. The university is located in south-west London. It was once the place where Saxon kings were crowned, which is why the area is still called Kingston Royal. Kingston boasts Victorian and Edwardian architecture and England's unspoilt countryside. The University occupies a modern, Thames-side building next to Richmond Park and is one of the top young universities in the country. The design, media and business faculties are internationally recognised. Central London is a 35-minute bus ride away.

All academic and extra-curricular activities are held on campus. Excursions to London, Brighton, Oxford and the former royal residence of Hampton Court are exceptions. Children are encouraged to explore the capital city by taking a cruise on the River Thames, riding the London Eye, exploring the city centre, visiting the theatre, the National Gallery and leading English colleges. There are tennis courts, communal lounges, a cafe and a park with running tracks. Those interested in management may take additional workshops. The programme includes career training, lectures on how to build a brand and an effective marketing campaign. Those who enjoy dancing may sign up for lessons with professional choreographers. In the evening children are engaged in original films, monopoly, karaoke, disco and fashion shows.

Accommodations in the residence or with host families. Single rooms with private facilities within a 5-minute walk from the school. Maid and linen change once a week. Laundry facilities are available on campus. Host families are a 35-minute drive from the school. Children will get a travel card to get to the centre easily. Host families have single or double rooms with shared facilities. Meals are provided three times a day and on excursions, packed lunches are provided.
