Activities at XUK English

To complement our morning classes, we offer a range of exciting activities. 'Active English' in the afternoons and 'Social English' in the evenings, are run entirely in English, so your child has the opportunity to use their new language skills in context. And we encourage all our campers to speak English as much as possible.

For an example of what our exciting timetable looks like and what can go on in a day please have a look at our sample timetable... which shows each afternoon campers usually have a choice so they can do activities that suit them on that day and that they enjoy.
