Residential English camp in Winchester, United Kingdom
L&E World Camps brings together young people from around the world mixed with local children allowing them to experience each others cultures as well as learning valuable life skills. Children can partake in our famous Multi-Activity Programme as well as our L&E Plus specialised courses including English Language, Tennis Academy and Young Global Leaders. There is a Full Evening Programme and they will also experience the country taking in exciting excursions at the weekend including Oxford & London. All this, while making friendships that span the globe along the way.
With L&E, it is especially relevant that young people develop their independence, their confidence and their communication skills. Again and again, in their own words, they tell us they’ve had the time of their lives. We think of L&E World Camp as a community where children feel safe to try something new and to learn about each others cultures.
Our Twyford Camp will be a truly British experience, which is helped by the many British children that attend. Your child will return home having tried activities never experienced before including swimming & kayaking on the river, starring in their own movie and having made friends for life from around the globe. They will be more confident, have a skip in their step, a smile on their face and probably begging to come back the next year.So, pack your bags for a summer like no other, where the magic of Twyford and the warmth of new friendships create memories that echo long after the campfire fades..

Activities
Special focus
English · Languages
Each day at World Camp UK is broken into three parts, and children choose how to fill the first two. Every morning campers join one of the signature programmes that suits their interests, whether that is L&E English, Young Global Leaders, Young Creators STEAM or the all-round Young Explorers, then afternoons run Creators and Explorers activities before the whole camp comes back together for the evening programme. The week has a shape to it, with themed days building from team spirit and creative expression through outdoor adventure and international day to a Friday of tournaments, showcases and awards, so children finish with something to be proud of rather than just a list of things they tried. With a maximum of 70 residential children each week and camp running in one-week blocks with a fresh itinerary each time, staff genuinely learn every child's name and returning campers never repeat the same week. What holds it together is the mix of nationalities alongside local British children, so English is the shared social language all day long and cultural exchange happens over meals and games rather than in a classroom.
Served at 08:15, just before the whole camp gathers for a morning warm-up game.
lunch
At 12:30, followed by the sweet shop and free time before afternoon activities.
dinner
The evening meal at 18:00, ahead of call-home time and the evening programme.
snacks
Hot chocolate is handed round at 21:00 as the camp winds down towards age-appropriate bedtimes.
Meals punctuate the camp day and bring the whole community together in the dining hall: breakfast at 08:15 before the morning warm-up game, lunch at 12:30 followed by free time, and the evening meal at 18:00 before the night's activity begins. Families are also welcomed with a BBQ on the Sunday they drop their children off, a relaxed chance to meet the team before the week starts.

Screen time policy
Life at Twyford is deliberately unplugged: the days are filled with activities, swimming, campfires and evening events, so there is little room and little appetite for screens. A dedicated slot at 18:30 each evening is set aside for campers to call home, which keeps families in touch without phones drifting into the rest of the day, and the team describes the programme as screen-balanced, helping children reconnect with the outdoors and with each other. Screen time appears where it belongs in the programme instead, such as coding, animation and digital design sessions in Young Creators.
