I am delighted to announce the 2020 L&E Programme…
2019 has been an amazing year with so much happening. We have been incredibly proud of all programmes and are so heartened to hear the wonderful feedback we’ve had.
10 years of L&E has allowed us to evolve to become the unique and trusted provider that we are today. We have a few changes that we are very excited to tell you about.

L&E World Camps
Our famous World Camp for 8 -15 year olds will again be offering 2 weeks & a 4 week block. The camp will continue to have the same emphasis of bringing together children from around the world immersed with Native English speakers as well as experiencing true British Culture (We will continue to limit the amount of any one nationality to keep the camps balanced).
English is spoken exclusively conversationally and the L&E World Camp environment will create it’s special magic by offering Adventure, Sport & Creative activities alongside our L&E Extras plus our incredible Evening Activities programme and weekend excursions.
The L&E Extra Programme (12 hour specialist coaching) will continue to be available (1 week maximum each):
- Football School
- Tennis Academy

- Young Global Leaders & Life Skills (13-15)
- Performing Arts
- English Language Course

The YGL & Life Skills Course (see below) will be available for 13-15 year olds but there will still be a YGL focus for the rest of the camp.
As our long term aim is to have L&E World Camps in multiple countries around the world we have decided to keep to one venue in the UK for 2020. It will mean we will be able keep the quality of provision very high with all our experienced staff in one place.
