Choose your pathway

Each morning, students follow one of two pathways.

Option 1: EAL Programme – English that goes beyond the classroom

Our EAL (English as an Additional Language) pathway helps students develop their English through engaging lessons, collaboration and practical activities.

Students use English throughout their time at camp: talking with classmates, working in teams, sharing ideas, and taking part in activities and excursions. The focus is on building confidence in using English in real-life situations and developing communication skills students can take home with them.

Students will develop:

  • Speaking & listening: confidence communicating with others in English
  • Vocabulary & communication: language they can use in everyday situations
  • Teamwork: working with students from different backgrounds
  • Confidence: using English beyond the classroom and in new situations
  • Intercultural skills: meeting students from different cultures and learning from each other

Learning English. Making friends. Growing in confidence.

Option 2: Myddelton Inventors’ Academy – 8 days. 1 invention. 100% yours.

The Myddelton Inventors’ Academy is an eight-day journey from a first idea to a finished invention.

Working in international teams, students identify a real-world problem and explore the science behind possible solutions. They then build and test a physical prototype, using technology and AI critically along the way. The Academy combines science, engineering, creativity, English, teamwork and communication. Students learn by making, testing, failing and improving.

By the end of the Academy, each team will have:

  • Created a physical prototype
  • Tested and improved their invention
  • Used science and technology to develop their ideas
  • Used AI as a tool for thinking and problem-solving
  • Created a 60–90 second commercial
  • Presented their invention at the Inventors’ Expo

Think. Discover. Build. Explore. Invent. Engineer. Communicate. Launch.

Excursions – explore the United Kingdom

Summer Camp is a chance to see more than the Myddelton campus. Students visit historic landmarks, beautiful landscapes and exciting destinations, building their independence as they experience new places and cultures.

North Wales

  • Bryntysilio: experience the natural beauty of North Wales through hiking, canoeing and team challenges.
  • Conwy Castle: explore one of North Wales’ most iconic historic sites, with beautiful scenery all around and time for outdoor activities together.
  • Colwyn Bay: volleyball on the beach.

Choose your city adventure

Students also choose between two city excursions: Manchester & Liverpool or London & Oxford.

Mini-excursions

Alongside the main excursions, students go on a range of shorter trips, including:

  • Farm experience: an authentic local experience on a working farm, with the chance to meet the animals.
  • Ninja Tag: a fast-paced, energetic team activity designed to get everyone involved.
  • Denbigh Castle: explore the historic castle overlooking the town of Denbigh, close to Myddelton College.

Additional mini-excursions may be added depending on availability.

Afternoon activities – something for everyone

Afternoons at Myddelton are all about getting involved. Students choose from a range of sports, creative activities and challenges designed to build skills while having fun.

  • Creative: bracelet making, vinyl painting, drama, music video creation, board game creation
  • Sport: football, volleyball, tag rugby, badminton, tennis, cricket, basketball, rounders
  • Explore & discover: nature walks, photography skills, team challenges

Team spirit: Throughout the two weeks, students take part in a friendly team competition, earning points through activities, challenges and special events.

Evenings – the fun doesn’t stop when the day ends

Evenings are another chance to make friends, work together and try something completely different. There is something for everyone, from team challenges and game-show-style competitions to relaxed evenings after excursions.

Evening activities may include Capture the Flag, Takeshi’s Castle, Murder Mystery, a Talent Show, Quiz Night, Film Night, a Photo Scavenger Hunt and Bonfire Night. And, of course, we finish Summer Camp with a final-night celebration.

Make friends. Get involved. Have fun.
