Outdoor Adventure Programme
Northbourne Park has a strong tradition of outdoor learning, supported by our extensive grounds of woodland and parkland and a dedicated outdoor classroom. We also partner with Betteshanger Park, a 250-acre country park just minutes away, offering a wide range of adventurous activities.
Across both sites, children take part in archery, nature walks, orienteering, survival skills, and other outdoor challenges. All sessions are led by trained staff and are designed to build confidence, encourage teamwork, and support English language development.
Sporting Opportunities
Our facilities allow children to experience a range of sports, including cricket, football, tennis, volleyball, and rounders. Specialist sports coaches lead structured sessions that help children try new activities, develop physical skills, and enjoy being active.
Excursions
The camp includes half-day and full-day excursions across Kent and beyond. Highlights include a visit to the historic city of Canterbury and a full day at Chessington World of Adventures. These trips give children the chance to explore British culture, enjoy new experiences, and use their English in real-world settings.
Full daily activity timetable published soon.

English Immersion
Morning lessons focus on intensive English tuition tailored to each child’s level, with around 15 hours of classroom time per week. Pupils are assessed on arrival, placed in appropriate classes, and receive a written report and certificate at the end of the camp.
English practice continues throughout the day in every activity, excursion, and mealtime. Pupils enjoy an immersive environment alongside English-speaking peers, developing confidence, teamwork, communication, and independence while using the language naturally.
