The experience was completely unforgettable and best trip I had yet
The experience was incredible, I literally couldn’t have asked for more. Education wise, I learned a lot of new things which possibly will become usefull futher in my life. However, the most unforgettable part for sure would be the friends I made and the people I met. The fact most people there were from different cultures and could interact so easily was extremely fun and helped me expand much more how I view different countries, also giving me life-long friends. The staff as well were incredible and deserve insane amounts of praise for how interactive and fun they were.

A Wonderful Experience Overall, but a Disappointing Ending
Overall, we had a very positive experience with the Oxford Summer Camp. My daughter came home happy, much more confident, and with many new friends from different countries. We are grateful for the opportunity she had to improve her English while enjoying such an enriching international experience.
The teachers and staff throughout the program were supportive, and it was wonderful to see how much she enjoyed every day.
The only issue we would like to mention concerns the very end of the program. We had arranged and paid for my daughter to stay one additional night until Sunday. We were informed that she would spend the night at a college, take part in a guided visit to London on Sunday, and then be picked up by a pre-arranged driver to go to the airport.
Unfortunately, none of this happened. She did not stay at the college, she did not participate in the London tour, and instead she remained at the school until the driver arrived to take her directly to the airport. We would really appreciate an explanation of what happened, as this was not the experience that had been communicated to us.
Despite this disappointing ending, my daughter truly enjoyed the program, and we are happy that she returned home with wonderful memories and lasting friendships. We hope this feedback is helpful and that this aspect can be improved for future families.

I think the main issue was checking in
I think the main issue was checking in. When dropping off my daughter for the first time I was allowed in. It was very uncomfortable just to drop her off and not meet any adults….see the facility…see her room.

My son really enjoyed his time so much. Teachers and staffs and friends are kind and he even learn to be kinder too. Only thing is he needs longer earlier bedtime. He was very exhausted.

The whole experience was fantastic
The whole experience was fantastic. The teachers were super experienced, the activity coordinators were sweet, and the staff was welcoming. We had the freedom to explore the city while having organised activities to help us make the most out of our camp. Learnt a whole semesters worth of political science in a couple of weeks, and in-depth too!

Recommendation
Friends, staff, and service were very nice. However, there was some trouble with the wifi during the course that made difficulty to access study tools online.

Worth global experience for young children
It was a wonderful learning experience and a fun time for the children, as they gained global exposure to teamwork, collaboration, and networking, along with children from different nations. The program was a class apart, and everything was well-organized.
