Oxford International Language Centre is organising a summer camp at the Royal Agricultural University. The university is located in the lands of Cyrencester, Gloucestershire. The beauty of the land has made it famous as a symbol of rural England. The university specialises in sports programs. The grounds overlook the rolling hills of the Cotswolds.
There are classrooms, a canteen, a projector room and a recreation area for students to use. There is a cafeteria and shop close to campus. After school sports and creative workshops are available. Tennis, basketball, football, volleyball and gymnasium facilities are available on campus. There is a wide range of clubs to choose from: dance, drama, photography, yoga and zumba, fashion, art, chess, computer and book clubs. During the programme pupils will take a full day excursion to Oxford College, Bath and Covent Garden for shopping. For two nights they will stay in London. In the evening there are games, a talent show, discos, an outdoor cinema and an international party where they experience different cultures.
Children are housed on campus next to classrooms and the canteen. The rooms are triple rooms with shared and private facilities, and most of them were renovated last year. A metro station is a 15-minute walk away. Meals are served three times a day and children have a packed lunch at the weekend.
