Hampshire Summer College (12-17)

Leisure

Britain is rich in cultural attractions and world-famous cities, so the school organises three full-day trips a week to visit some of the best ones. Wednesday excursions focus on the language and allow students to practise their skills outside of the classroom, while on Saturdays, students have the chance to discover new cities or famous attractions. On Sunday, our students will travel to a local town of interest for sightseeing and shopping. On four afternoons a week, they can choose two activities such as football, tennis, basketball, dance, arts & crafts or music. Every evening, the entertainment programme includes exciting activities such as: Talent Show, Capture the Flag, Treasure Hunt, Discos, Fashion Shows, Harry Potter theme nights, Murder Mysteries, Parties, or Mini Olympics.
