Choosing a camp in the United Kingdom

The UK has one of the world's longest-running traditions of residential summer schools, many held on university campuses and historic boarding-school grounds across England, Scotland and Wales. That heritage gives families access to camps set inside real academic institutions, alongside language camps that let children practise English with native speakers in its country of origin.

Beyond the classroom, UK summer camps take advantage of everything from countryside and coastline to city life in London, mixing sport, drama and outdoor activities with day trips to castles, museums and historic sites. The ranking below reflects camps with verified parent reviews, updated as new bookings and reviews come in.
