The Children's Activities Summer Program at Marlborough College offers an exciting and engaging experience for children aged 6 to 8, with over 20 arts, crafts, music, and sporting activities. Running from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, with extended care available, the program ensures a balanced mix of indoor and outdoor fun, including sports like football and swimming, arts and crafts, music, and even special features like inflatables and a foam slide. Each day is structured to keep kids active and entertained while building skills and trying new things in a supportive environment. Safety and care are top priorities, with experienced staff, including qualified teachers, overseeing groups of 12 children with two dedicated pastoral staff members each. The program provides a fun-filled week focused on active participation and skill-building, guaranteeing a memorable and safe summer.
The guiding principles of Marlborough are 'adventure, risk, creativity, and fun'. Two versions of the course are available: one for native English speakers and another tailored for students requiring concurrent English language instruction, determined through an assessment upon arrival. The curriculum delves into a specific theme during the first week, transitioning to collaborative projects in the subsequent week. For instance, previous modules like 'silence and noise' probed contemporary issues of connectivity and community.
Marlborough offers a variety of fun extracurricular activities, including fly fishing, clay pigeon shooting, tennis, martial arts, horse riding, and multi-sport outdoor adventures.
