Junior Camp
Seasonal camp for juniors

The junior curriculum combines 1:1 classes targeting core skill gaps with interactive small-group work, daily physical activity and creative expression. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, four of the eight daily classes are one-to-one, and the day opens with a morning stretch and closes with supervised evening study. Wednesdays have no classes and are given to campus activities. It is a seasonal camp timed to the school holidays, with fixed departure dates and lengths, so the children who arrive together go home together.

Sessions

Each session has a fixed departure date and length. Pick a session to see its day-by-day timetable, what is included, and the materials. Sessions are run separately for each departure country, and both the timetable and the fee differ by country. Sessions for other countries will be listed here as they are confirmed.

No cohort departing from your country has been set yet. Dates will appear here as soon as they are fixed, and in summer there is an international camp that any nationality can join.

Sport

When class ends the campus becomes the playground. The stadium and 400m track built for the 2019 SEA Games are on the grounds, along with the pool, so nobody travels to train. Which sports run depends on the season and the group.

What each subject covers

Reading & Vocabulary (1:1)Levelled graded readers matched to each child's CEFR level, building vocabulary and the habit of working out meaning from context. Younger learners start with phonics; older juniors move on to skimming, scanning and seeing how a text is put together.
Functional Writing (1:1)Step by step from the mechanics of a sentence to writing that hangs together: sentence combining and punctuation first, then paragraphs, a daily journal, descriptive pieces, and formal and informal letters.
Speaking & Pronunciation (1:1)Fluency, accurate sounds and confidence, one to one with the teacher. Intonation and stress, and the sounds that trip learners up, such as /l/ and /r/ or /b/ and /v/, are put right through situational dialogues and quick-fire question-and-answer drills, so the child finds a natural conversational pace without the nerves of speaking in front of others.
Grammar in Context (1:1)Accuracy through use rather than rote learning. Sentence structure, tenses and parts of speech are met first in real-life situations, then fixed straight away with sentence-building and correction drills.
Presentation & Discussion (small group)Four to six children practise speaking in front of others: presentation routines, show-and-tell and team projects. They learn to organise what they want to say and to answer each other in English.
Listening & Dictation (small group)Four to six children listen to dialogues and descriptions in a range of accents, catch the gist and the details, then check themselves with dictation, training the ear for how English sounds run together.
Sports & PE (enrichment)Swimming, badminton, table tennis, indoor sports and cooperative team games, rotating daily. Coaching, referee calls and teamwork all happen in English, so the children use the language while they move.
Music & Arts (enrichment)Music (English songs, rhythm and voice, beginner ukulele) alternates with art (canvas painting, clay modelling, cultural crafts, an English storytelling art journal). The aim is for children to say in English what they mean and what they think of the work.
Before and after class
8:00 am · Morning Stretch & Move
Light morning yoga, dynamic stretching, jump rope or a guided walk around the grounds. Moving first burns off morning restlessness and sharpens focus for the seated lessons ahead, and following the moves builds English instructions and body vocabulary along the way.
The camp project
Every camp builds one big project. The summer camp's is "My English Summer Adventure": a journal, photos and drawings, a vocabulary collection and a short presentation. The winter camp's is "My Winter English Experience": a team project, a presentation, a performance and a reflection. It is something parents can hold in their hands when the camp ends.
WALES English Zone
English is not only for the classroom: it is used in clubs, activities, at meals, during camp activities and between friends. Your English Doesn't Stop When Class Ends.
Supervised evening study
Every junior student spends 7:00–8:30 pm with a supervising teacher, writing the day's journal, preparing for vocabulary quizzes and reviewing the day.
Entrance and exit interviews
Every junior student sits a one-to-one interview at the start and at the end of camp, so we can measure their progress in English, fine-tune class placement and celebrate how far they have come.

A sample day (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat)

Camp rules

  1. 1

    Students under 15 must pay the immigration fee for a child under 15 travelling without a parent (WEG) separately. Please prepare PHP 3,660 in cash (pesos) and hand it to the escort.

  2. 2

    The notarisation fee for the WEG affidavit is separate and must be paid separately.

  3. 3

    Travel insurance is separate. Please buy it no later than one week before departure and submit the insurance certificate. Students without travel insurance will not be admitted.

Life at camp

  1. 1

    Phones on weekdays: 30 minutes a day — only for students who have finished all their homework and assignments and passed their tests.

  2. 2

    Phones at the weekend: 1 hour after the day's programme — only for students whose room and belongings are in order.

  3. 3

    Pocket money: the school receives it from the parents and looks after it. It is recorded in the portal and paid out on set days, each payment recorded. When students spend it, they record the receipt and what they bought; parents and the school see it together. It is part of learning to manage money.

  4. 4

    Parents can send the school short questions through Messages on the parents' page.

  5. 5

    Laundry is included in the camp fee, twice a week.

  6. 6

    Wednesdays have no classes — it is the activity day.

Common questions

Can we join or leave partway through a session?

A camp starts and finishes on set dates, with everyone arriving and leaving together. If those dates do not fit, you can wait for the next session — or, if a guardian can come along, the Family Camp starts every Monday.

This is the first time my child will be away alone, and I am worried.

An escort travels with the group from departure to return, and lessons, daily life and activities all take place on campus. At the consultation we go through the day-to-day care arrangements in detail.

Can a guardian come along too?

When a guardian comes as well, that is the Family Camp. On that one, enrolling the guardian for lessons is optional.

When does the camp run?

There are two seasons, a summer camp and a winter camp. School holidays differ from country to country, so departures open as separate sessions for each country, and confirmed sessions are listed above.

How are rooms allocated?

Two students share a twin room, and both come from the same country.

Can my child use a phone?

Yes. When and for how long are set out under “Life at camp” above.

Who escorts the group?

The school provides an escort for the group. A partner agency may also send its own accompanying teacher.

How is the WEG fee paid?

In pesos, as a rule. The amount and how to hand it over are in the camp rules above.

How is pocket money handled?

The school receives the pocket money parents send, keeps it, and hands it to the student on set days. Students record what they spend in the student portal with a photo of the receipt, and parents can see the money received, each payout, what was spent and the receipts under the Pocket money tab on the parents' page. Anything left is given back to the student when they go home.
