Summary
Our innovative summer camp for young learners. Discover, develop, and dare for an experience they will always remember.
Camp Dragon runs at The Dragon School in North Oxford and is SBC's programme for younger children, aged 8 to 12. One course runs: Young Explorers.
It develops English through subjects children already recognise — maths, science, history, geography, drama, music and art and design — and through practical projects such as building biomes, mini catapults and rollercoasters. Every day follows the same four stages: Discover, Develop, Dare and Showtime.
Children meet a new theme, work with it, take on a challenge and then share what they have made. There are 15 hours of lessons a week in classes of no more than 15, and English is used throughout the day rather than only in class.
The camp is residential, with all meals, a multi-activity programme and an excursion programme included. Children receive a progress report and a personalised certificate. A minimum English level of A2 is recommended.
