View Program Request Info

Summary

Bede’s Summer School offers Bear Grylls Survival Academy at its Windlesham campus — a dynamic summer programme blending English‑language learning with practical outdoor‑survival and adventure skills. Students (8–13) spend 12.5 hours a week improving English and soft‑skills like teamwork and communication, and the other half engaging in wilderness activities: shelter‑building, fire lighting, navigation/orienteering, water/raft rescue, first aid, and survival challenges.

Beyond skills training, the camp emphasises confidence, resilience and cooperation: throughout their stay participants face team “missions” and an “Ultimate Challenge,” culminating in a test of all the survival skills learned. The programme also includes supervised social events, excursions and full boarding support — with healthy meals, 24‑hour staff supervision, and a structured schedule — making it a balanced experience of adventure, education and personal growth.
