For participants ages 15-16, the camp staff also organise several off-site activities like cinema, ice-skating and pizza parties. Students should have some pocket money for these activities (about £30 per week).

On Saturdays, students go to an amusement park, while Sundays are dedicated to tours of nearby English cities (Brighton, Bath, Bournemouth, Cambridge…). London is also possible on request, in particular for non-European students and at extra cost. Group leaders supervise the group and animate the outings but will not assume the functions of official guides during the visits and the London tour in particular.
