This year, for the first time, the children went on an independent trip (without a group or chaperones) to camps in the United Kingdom. We started looking for summer programmes in April. Initially, we were looking for camps for creative children (music, film, design), but in the end we settled on other programmes because we were limited by the dates of the trip: August.
My son attended the Lancing College camp and chose the management and golf themed sessions. My daughter attended the Millfield School summer camp. There was no specific focus, just English and activities.
The children came back absolutely thrilled, especially my daughter. Two months after camp, they are still in touch with the girls, waiting to visit each other, calling each other regularly. It's very sweet!
My son also had a lot of vivid impressions, especially from the trips. There were a few unpleasant moments at school with some children who were negatively disposed towards Russians, but the school carefully smoothed over all these moments in the first week.
We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodation, cosy comfortable rooms, excellent cuisine and interesting activities throughout the week. Despite being fully occupied, strangely enough, there was enough time for communication, classes and sports.
We noted that such trips convey the atmosphere of English schools very well. Our daughter not only wanted to go to camp again, she wanted to go to a boarding school for full-time education.
I would like to personally express my immense gratitude to the staff at Paradise, and especially to Olga, who helped with the programmes, was always available, and answered the numerous questions of a worried mother. I know from my own experience that when you don't have any experience, you have a lot of worries and questions. I admire your patience!
