Travel Info Transfers to all our camps are included and a member of our staff team will be at the airport to welcome you and get you onto the bus for camp (for more information on our transfer service please refer to page 35 of this brochure and the separate booking form). Upon arrival at camp you will have a brief tour of the campus, whilst getting to know fellow students and receiving useful information to help you with your first few days. On the following morning you are required to take a written and oral assessment in order for our teachers to determine your English language skills. The results of this test will help our teachers organise you into the appropriate English class so that you get the very best out of the lessons during your stay. Lessons are only one part of the holiday and at each camp there will be an exciting, fun-packed and flexible activity programme on offer for you and your new friends to relax and enjoy. Then there are the ‘excursion days’, with London a particular ‘must see’, plus trips to other cool cities and theme parks. Please read the following pages to get more travel info, find out more about our English language classes, sports courses and activities on offer, plus all the day trips too.
Accommodation KG Adventure exclusively uses private boarding schools for the language camps in England. We guarantee modern equipped classrooms, internet access, excellent sports facilities, theatres, cosy TV/DVD rooms and lots more for your perfect camp experience! The bedrooms are practically furnished and vary from single to 6 bedded rooms. In your short time at camp you will learn how English students live in the rooms all year round and whilst you may not have time to make them your own, the rooms are warm and comfortable and you will soon make them feel like home. Toilets and showers are located on the same level as your room and shared with fellow students at camp. More importantly, it is the areas where you will spend the majority of your time that you will find most impressive. The classroom areas, sports and activity facilities are first class; with everything you need provided for. Then
there are the dining rooms where everyone meets up and talks about their day over freshly cooked food with plenty of choice for everyone. Our focus is to create an environment in which you are happy and comfortable; encouraging you to improve your language proficiency whilst participating in cool activities and meeting friends of a similar age.
Our staff team A great team of carefully selected, fun-loving and caring staff will await you at the camp of your choice. Our qualified, native speaking English teachers look after you during interactive and fulfilling classes and will also be around to support you during meal times and on excursions. The leisure time activities are then taken by our enthusiastic, qualified English speaking staff members, each of them trained and qualified to deliver the particular activity or sport. All the staff work together to ensure you have the care and support you require from the moment you arrive at camp through to the end of your stay. Our staff take great pride and responsibility in what they do and adapt their approach to each individual student, whether you are a younger camper away from home for the first time or a more mature student looking for a bit of independence.
English, please! This is the motto at camp whether inside the classroom or around the camp on activities or during free time. With students coming to camp from a variety of different countries, including England, Spain, Italy, Egypt, Algeria, Korea, just to name a few, English is used as the common language for everyone. Our staff continually motivate and encourage you to speak English and we are very successful in improving students’ confidence in using their language skills, even among the youngest campers. But don’t worry - our staff will always be on hand to help with vocabulary and anything else that you do not understand.
“To be an Assistant Centre Manager means hard work and a lot of responsibility but in the end it also means having an amazing summer. You meet people from all over the world and when the kids are going home crying, you know that your effort and energy has made their summer. Now, working in my 4th year it’s still new and challenging for me. But I just enjoy it!” Bennet Möller, ACM Saint Felix

English Courses Self Confidence, Motivation and Fun Learning For parents, learning English may be the top priority of your summer camp experience. On the other hand, your priority is probably to have a fun and exhilarating language learning experience. Therefore, we believe that English lessons at camp should not be just another day in a classroom. Our classes are aimed at being an interesting, modern, activity based learning experience whilst incorporating the fundamentals such as vocabulary learning and grammar exercises.
‘Classic’ or ‘Booster’ Our regular ‘classic’ English course is already included in the standard fee for a stay at camp. These lessons run over 4 x 45 minute sessions, 5 days a week. This means during a 2 week language trip you will be in class for 30 full hours. Class sizes vary from 8 to a maximum of 12 students. For those of you looking for a more intense English language learning experience, our Woodbridge and Westonbirt centres also offer special ‘booster’ courses on top of the regular ‘classic’ course. This ‘booster’ course involves a maximum of only 5 students per course giving our teachers more time and attention to each of you and your specific language needs and requests. This extra course runs for an additional 10 hours per week, with a focus on either conversation or grammar. The surcharge for a ‘booster’ course is !"150,-

English Teachers
‘Passport to English’
Our English teachers come from England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. All of them are native speakers. They are young, yet also very experienced. In order to adjust to each class of students they constantly adapt, update and optimise their lesson plans, whilst incorporating your wishes and interests during classes.
This is our guideline to all English courses. Over 6 levels we offer thorough, comprehensive classes for all abilities and ages.
Student Assessment You are split in to the appropriate level class after you take an initial assessment test at the very first day of camp. It is our teacher’s discretion and careful analysis, that decides which of you will attend which particular class. However, the two major criteria in making their decision are age and proficiency.
Course Content At KG Adventure language camps we put a strong focus on oral participation and improving each individual’s communication skills. We use our own material that has been specially designed for our interactive and modern style of language holidays. This teaching material covers different age groups, levels and interests spanning across all cultures. For our older students who attend the Woodbridge camp, individuals can focus on specific priorities within their language skills levels where they choose from Conversation, Grammar, English Literature, Essay Writing or Drama.
Cultural Lessons A fantastic add-on to our courses are the optional ‘Cultural Lessons’ that our teachers offer free-of-charge to all campers at Worksop and Woodbridge. During 2 evenings per week these relaxed and informal get-togethers focus on regional distinctions and characteristics of the country.
Certificate At the end of their stay you will receive a certificate of completion including an individual performance report.
‘Hello’ Class Our beginner course for those younger campers aged 6 to 10 years with very little or no language proficiency.
Breakthrough/Young Learners Ideal for children who have been learning English for approximately 1 year before coming to camp. Students will understand various words but are unable to put together sentences.
Preliminary Our third level addresses those of you with 2 to 3 years’ experience of the English language. Students at this level will understand and participate in basic English conversations but will require a great amount of effort and support.
Intermediate At intermediate level you can understand most conversations. English responses, although not perfect, will come more naturally and intelligently but they will still require practice.
Advanced You will now have a good and expansive vocabulary and understand almost everything. You will be confident and can go beyond the basic responses and elaborate your thoughts.
Proficiency At the top level you possess near fluency in your language ability. You can understand and respond to difficult questions. Your English knowledge includes abstract terms and phrases.

Although our English courses are included in our packages in the UK, for those international students not wishing to have English classes at camp it’s not a problem. Parents just need to tell us at the time of booking and we will ensure that their child gets to do more activities instead!
For full terms & conditions for all our holiday programmes and courses please refer to the booking form or our website at www.kgadventure.com
Transfers We included the transfers to and from airports in the packages at each of our destinations worldwide. A member of staff will be at the airport to meet and greet you and then accompany you back to the camp. For more details regarding the transfer locations and times please refer to the booking form.
Travelling from Germany? For our German customers we are able to make the booking process even easier! We have our own office and office support team based in Hamburg who deal with all our bookings from Germany and are able to include flights as part of the package.
