SEASONAL SUMMER FUN AND EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE AT ACADEMIC CAMP IN TAUNTON Email – info@ academiccamp.org Call – 020 3959 9570 Children and young people can now enjoy a range of educational and recreational activities over the summer holidays by attending Academic Camp’s residential summer experiences in Taunton. The camps help to embed existing skills as well as bring new knowledge and abilities and provide a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, develop confidence and encourage independent thinking. Since the organisation was set up by Helen Lami in 2008 it has helped 1000s of young people improve their skills and achieve their dreams. The themed camps taking place in Somerset over the school summer break are specifically designed to foster teamwork and explore cultural differences in a fun, caring and lively environment. “Summer is the perfect time of year for children and young people to attend our camps,” said Helen. “It’s when we get the most daylight, the weather is generally Summer Camp Details - What You Need To Know. • The summer camp take place Monday–Thursday, July 15th-August 22nd, at Queen’s College, Trull Road, Taunton. TA1 4QS. • The forward-thinking boarding school has a traditional appearance, leading many to describe it as being like being on the set of a Harry Potter film! • As well as modern classrooms and outstanding sporting facilities, the College has a 570-seat theatre, tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool. • Children and young fabulous and they know they’ve got a long break from normal school. These elements combine to create a brilliant atmosphere which is ripe for new friendships and an all-round fun time!” Helen centres the teaching and learning approach of the camps around content and language integrated learning - a holistic approach that has been shown to motivate students to be more willing to focus and more inspired to learn. “We fundamentally believe it is vital to try new things,” says Helen. “When young people work as a team and build practical skills together, it really puts them in a good position to carve out a great future for themselves and be able to get on with people from all walks of life. We always see children and young people get to the end of their camp experiences having challenged themselves in the most amazing ways and having made important friendships along the way. It’s wonderful to see.” people can attend on a day or boarding basis. • Children and young people come from the Taunton area as well as further afield, including from overseas. The camps available over the summer range from adventure camps, where young people get to try out a range of multi-sports, learn bushcraft, engage in climbing, archery and variety of orienteering activities; to arts and crafts camps, where there’s the opportunity to explore a range of materials, mediums and art forms; to week-long STEAM camps, which merge the worlds of science, technology, engineering, art and maths to truly foster creative and innovative thinking and ideas, encouraging an imaginative “thinking outside the box” approach to learning, curiosity and development. Additional excursions are available and include trips to London, Thorpe Park and the Eden Project. For more information visit www.academiccamp.org/ academic-summer-uk/taunton
