At Village Camps, students can choose from a range of academic and language pathways at our stunning Royal Hospital School campus in Suffolk, England. Our Summer School Programmes are fully focused on UCAS preparation and IELTS success, with morning sessions dedicated to intensive, expert-led support and afternoons enriched by assessments, workshops, and visits to leading universities. For younger students, or those wishing to strengthen their English skills, we also run an English Language Camp at the same location. This programme blends focused language development with the full Village Camps experience, where afternoons and evenings are filled with engaging activities, cultural exchange, and new friendships — creating the perfect balance between learning and summer adventure.
Our enthusiastic counsellor team can't wait to welcome you back this summer.
