Language Activity Courses Summer CampsJo Farrington have been running Summer Camps offering English language courses and activity holidays for young people for over 20 years. Providing professionally run courses in a personal environment is a winning combination. At Moorland Hall, children from all over Europe mix with other nationalities and experience a variety of adventure activities and cultural outings, as well as receiving English language tuition. Guests live with the Farrington family, and with a maximum of 40 children staying at any one time, they quickly get to know each other, and so really are made to feel at home in the relaxed and happy atmosphere of this lovely family home. A Host Of Activities:The activities we organise include many of the things that young people dream about doing, even if they are designed to develop qualities of leadership, stamina, teamwork and confidence! Our aim is for everyone to have fun while achieving the challenges set for them. Safety is our priority, and our equipment is modem and well maintained. Fully qualified instructors always supervise all activities, which include:
There are also many indoor activities such as:
Learning English:The key to success is learning in the right environment. The relaxed atmosphere of Moorland Hall encourages children to make friends, which gives them the incentive to practice English. Most of our overseas guests take advantage of having English tuition for 4 mornings or afternoons a week and we do strongly recommend it. Alternative activities can be arranged if tuition is not required. All our teachers are native English speakers, qualified to teach English to overseas students. The lessons are educational, fun and challenging and in a 2 week period, we notice that their confidence grows enormously, encouraging them to communicate more and more in English. Travel Arrangements:Our holidays are organised in units of two weeks. Arrivals are at London's Heathrow airport on Sunday morning, with departures on Saturday afternoon. We meet all our guests at the airport and at the end of their stay assist them with check-in. For our younger guests, we arrange for them to fly as unaccompanied minors and ensure that the airline assists them throughout their journey home. Accommodation Arrangements:Our guests live as part of the family and sleep in the main house or in the attached coach house in rooms with between 5 and 10 children. We have male and female staff who, together with Jo Farrington, provide close supervision at night, so there is always someone at hand if the need arises. In the main house there is a large sunny sitting room, a conservatory, television and dining room. One of the features of Moorland Hall is that it is a family home and because of the relaxed atmosphere, children do quickly feel at home here. Ideal Ages:Children should be between the ages of 9-15. Many of our guests come alone, but very soon mix with all the other children. Because we are a small organisation, we can keep a careful eye on how everyone is getting on, to make sure they are happy and enjoying their holiday. We pay particular attention to our very youngest visitors to ensure that they do not get over tired. Those who have not been away from home before may like to bring a friend with them. What Your Child Will Need To Bring:We will send you a list of suggested clothing after you have made your booking. We provide all specialist equipment for the activities and recommend that children don't bring too many personal possessions, and certainly nothing of great value. You should make sure that all clothing and possessions are clearly marked, so that we can ensure that all items come back to you at the end of the holiday!
