Autumn update 2022
27 October 2022
The Big Return
2022 has been a big year for L&E. We hadn’t been able to offer any in-person programmes since 2019 and we were desperate to get back to doing what we do best. It has been tough time for everyone but particularly young people. Cultural and adventurous experiences have been few and far between these past couple of years and so it was incredibly important that we were able to operate. This year certainly wasn’t without it’s challenges but with the energy and enthusiasm of both staff and students we were able to successfully navigate a wonderful year!
World Camp UK
World Camp UK at Aysgarth School returned this summer and was a huge success. Lots of old and new faces connecting from all over the world. We had over 20 different nationalities from 6 continents all embracing and learning from each other. A lot of old activities returned as well as some exciting new ones including the Open Minds course and Wilderness experience. Our older teens were challenged to investigate and interrogate the world around them, challenge themselves creatively and consider new perspectives. They also experienced an incredible night under the stars on their Wilderness Experience.
All our International students embraced the British culture and improved their English and our local children learnt so much about other cultures.
Soccer Camp
L&E continued the tradition of working with professional football clubs and this summer we were delighted to work with Manchester City. Tzeachten Under 16 Girls Football Club from British Columbia, Canada were lucky enough to be coached by ex-pro and Manchester City Academy coach Ian Fitzpatrick. The girls had elite sessions every day plus 2 matches including the Manchester City Under 17 Educational Team at Manchester Regional Arena overlooked by the Etihad Stadium. The girls enjoyed a tour of the stadium plus a unique opportunity to see the training facilities.
Teen Travel
Teen Travel UK was also back and our tours were a triumph. We had teens from the US, Canada, France, Thailand, Italy, Spain and UK all gain invaluable life skills and gain a love for the history and beauty of Britain. Our travellers learnt how to manage a budget, how to negotiate and how to adapt to different situations all whilst making sold friendships along the way.
It was also the first time students were able to combine the Teen Travel and World Camp experiences which made for a unique experience.
