The children’s summer camp will not take place in 2026.

Age: 10-17 years.

There is a city in Foggy Albion that has preserved the secrets of the Middle Ages, the era of the great Vikings and Roman conquests. York can rightfully be called one of those cities over which time has no power: everything here is imbued with the amazing atmosphere of the past. Narrow cobbled streets, low stone buildings, knight's bridges, ancient castles and medieval city walls tell the story of ancient times better than any encyclopedia. It is no coincidence that George VI said that "the history of York is the history of England."

The school is located in the English countryside, in real England, where native Englishmen live, and not visitors from all over the world. Everything around breathes romance and tranquility: fresh air, old pubs, villages that seem to have come from the pages of books from the time of Thackeray and Dickens, wrought iron signs, Yorkshire dialect, delicious food... The feeling of a fairy tale and unreality of what is happening does not leave, nothing like this can be experienced in London and its suburbs. York is a big city. Excellent shopping is guaranteed!
