English Plus + Horse Riding Horse Riding is both a sport and a pastime enjoyed worldwide – our course focuses on the sporting elements of show jumping and dressage as well as covering the basics of grooming and stable management. Our English Plus Horse Riding camp is perfect for students who have a love of horses and would like to improve their stable knowledge and riding ability alongside developing their English language skills with other riders. This 2-week course is suitable for both beginner and more advanced riders, however we would recommend students to have some experience of being around horses. When our Horse Riding students are not at the stables, they will be on-site at Finborough Hall taking part in fun and interactive English lessons, entertaining evening activities or enjoying one of 3 excursions to London or a local town or attraction. Course Includes This 2-week long course includes 20 hours at the stables; there will be 4 sessions each week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in either the morning or afternoon (Wednesdays will be reserved for an excursion).
Highlights The 2-weeks will end with the grand ‘Dressage and Show Jumping Competition’ where riders can showcase their new skills and will be awarded rosettes.
Our riding instructors are British Horse Society and Pony Club qualified and will begin by assessing all students, including basic riding positions in walk, trot and canter. During the course, students will also learn an introduction to stable management and how to safely handle the horse, including securely tying up, leading, grooming, tacking up and feeding. At the end of the 2-weeks, our riders will have the opportunity to show off new skills with a ‘Dressage and Show Jumping competitionʼ where rosettes will be awarded. Students should have a much better understanding of equestrian care and stable management and will have improved their riding ability. Equipment Required Students should not bring riding helmets, all helmets and equipment will be provided due to British Standards. Riders are welcome to bring their own specific riding clothing such as jodhpurs and boots. English Plus courses are booked in addition to your student’s language activity camp.

English Plus + Leadership “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” This brand-new English Plus Leadership course offers older students a unique cross-cultural opportunity to build and develop skills in key areas of leadership – we hope through this course we can inspire our teenage students to become global citizens. During this 2-week course, our specially trained and experienced camp instructors will guide our 15 to 17-yearold students through a series of sessions designed to test and develop their effective team work, problem solving, communication and presentation skills. Course Includes The course will be made up of 3-hour daily interactive workshops, in which we cover all aspects of developing key skills in leadership – from idea sharing, understanding others and their behaviour, public speaking and entrepreneurism. In addition to these workshops, we also ask our Leadership students to actively participate in evening sessions, shadowing our camp staff, culminating in challenging the students to design an evening of their own to inspire and engage their younger peers on-site.
Highlights During the course, students will prepare and participate in a 1-night overnight expedition, designed to test their planning and teamwork skills. Students will also enjoy their own independence during our excursions, allowing them to explore and discover their excursion destination for themselves.
Students will also participate in a 1-night overnight expedition where they will be responsible for navigating their way along a route through rural England, completing a series of tasks during their journey, setting up camp and sleeping out under the stars before trekking back to the residential camp. By the end of the 2-weeks, our students should feel confident in leading and inspiring others. Equipment Required No equipment will be required as this will be provided, however students will need to bring sensible outdoor clothing and a strong can-do attitude to get stuck in. English Plus courses are booked in addition to your student’s language activity camp.

During the week, students participate in English classes, local fun and educational activities, plus full day trips to leisure highlights in the area, including theme parks and white-water rafting. Homestay Immersion (Colorado / North Carolina / Washington) During this programme, students are entirely integrated in the day-to-day life of a local host family, who have been chosen specifically for their desire to host an international student for the summer.

Kennedy once said, “leadership and learning are indispensable to each other” – our brand-new ‘Leadership’ and ‘Counsellor in Training’ camp offers students the opportunity to learn and develop key leadership qualities. New for 2019, these courses are held at an all-American YCMA summer camp, and invites students aged between 14 and 17 to join native American teens to become future leaders by developing key skills needed to lead successfully. In order to be selected, students will need to complete an application and selection process that requires English communication, initiative and dedication.

Highlights
Through observation, mentoring and hands-on work, teens gain knowledge and skills that equip them to be leaders at camp, with children and within team environments. In addition, they will have the opportunity to learn skill sets in a specific area at camp: the barn, ropes course or kitchen.
This English Plus course is an all-immersion programme, students are fully immersed in both a homestay and camp environment with native English-speaking American peers. Specially trained camp staff will teach and guide students in leadership, passing on their knowledge and expertise.

ENGLISH PLUS
English Plus + Golf The sophisticated game of Golf is one of accuracy, power and patience, perfect for those wanting some time-out on the course during their homestay programme in Asheville, North Carolina. The ability to play golf is not essential as students will be coached on technique, with each session focusing on a different element of the game but some previous experience can help. The English Plus Golf course consists of 8 intensive coaching sessions over the month-long homestay, which are intermittent between our standard adventure activity sessions; excursions and evening entertainment, meaning golfers get the best of both worlds! We begin with an introduction to the sport, including etiquette, safety and scoring strategies. By the end of the course, students should have a greater appreciation of the sport and have gained the confidence to continue developing their skills. Course Includes The course consists of 16 hours of coaching sessions over the four weeks, which are scheduled into 8 x 2-hour sessions during the 4-week homestay programme. A PGA qualified coach will begin the course with an introduction to the sport, with our students learning about the correct golf etiquette, behaviour and safety on the course. We also introduce and assess our players’ understanding of the golf ‘set up’, including hand grip, posture, ball position and alignment as well as swing technique.
Highlights Our students will be given the opportunity to play on the excellent 3-par golf courses on-site, continuing to develop their knowledge and skills, including course management and scoring skills.
During the course, sessions will progress to learning different types of swing technique and an introduction to golf’s ‘short game’, including putting, chipping, pitching and bunkers. These skills are developed throughout the course utilising different clubs and shots required throughout the round. Equipment Required All equipment is provided however students may bring their own golf clubs if they prefer to use their own. Students should ensure they pack suitable golf clothing including waterproofs. English Plus courses are booked in addition to your student’s language activity camp.

ENGLISH PLUS
English Plus + Tennis Originating in England in the late 19th Century, tennis is now both played and spectated by fans worldwide, from grassroots level to the Olympics. Our English Plus Tennis course is perfect for students who want to spend their summer in Asheville learning or improving their tennis skills. The ability to play tennis is not essential as students will be coached in technique but having played before and having an interest in the sport certainly helps. Students will play alongside American players, under the coaching of a professional tennis coach. During the 3 or 4-week homestay programme, our USPTA coach will test the skills of our students, firstly by feeding balls, progressing to live ball games and match style play. Bill Barber, former ATP player and ranked in the world’s top 250 Singles Players will be heading up our coaching at CCA. He has been Director of Tennis for over 18 years and brings with him a wealth of knowledge to pass onto our young, enthusiastic players. Course Includes Tennis training sessions will take place over 8 sessions across the month homestay programme. Players will work through improving their serve, footwork, anticipation, volleying as well as forehand and backhand strokes. Players will also have the opportunity to play in competitive matches at the weekend with local American players.
Highlights A special highlight of this course will be the opportunity to play Tennis with and against American students. We also offer both indoor and outdoor facilities.
Equipment Required Students should ensure they bring sports clothing and trainers. We welcome players to bring their own racket if they wish, but all equipment will be provided. English Plus courses are booked in addition to your student’s language activity camp.
