Social Programme & Excursions
Camp Headington is a welcoming international community where students are encouraged to be curious, try new things and take on challenges together. From their first day, students join an expedition team, make new friends and become part of camp life. Across two action-packed weeks, they build confidence and independence through shared adventures, team challenges and memorable experiences in and beyond Oxford.
Learning at Camp Headington is hands-on, active and built around discovery. Each day starts with a big question before students investigate, experiment, build and test their ideas through practical STEM challenges. They might launch rockets, investigate extreme weather, explore forensic science, design racing machines or discover how nature can inspire new inventions. English is used naturally throughout these experiences as students solve problems, share ideas and work together.

How you'll learn
Every day is carefully structured to spark curiosity, build confidence and create lasting memories, opening with ‘Basecamp’ where the whole camp comes together to prepare for the adventure ahead.
Stage 1
Every morning begins with a big question linked to the day’s theme. Students investigate topics such as the environment, engineering, or meteorology through engaging lessons, discussion and practical activities that encourage curiosity from the very start.
Stage 2
Students dig deeper through enquiry and investigation. Working in groups, they analyse evidence, solve problems and develop ideas together, using English naturally as they discuss, question and collaborate.
Stage 3
Learning moves beyond the classroom as students apply their knowledge through practical challenges, outdoor investigations and fieldwork. Whether collecting data, designing solutions or exploring Oxford, students experience science in action.
Stage 4
Every day ends by bringing learning together. Teams share discoveries, take part in challenges, demonstrate solutions and reflect on what they’ve achieved, celebrating the learning they’ve done that day.
Learning at Camp Headington starts with a challenge. Each themed day introduces a big question before students investigate ideas, experiment and put what they discover into action. From extreme weather and renewable energy to rockets, forensic science and engineering, hands-on STEM activities encourage students to be curious, solve problems and learn by doing.
English is used naturally throughout the experience as students investigate, build, test, discuss and work together. Rather than studying English as a separate subject, students develop their communication through practical challenges and shared adventures with an international group of students.
Adventure Programmes Two weeks building English through science, adventure and the natural world at Camp Headington in Oxford.
More than just fun
Learning continues long after lessons finish. From sport and creative activities to outdoor adventures and evening events, every activity gives students new opportunities to work as a team, try something different and build lasting friendships. It’s all part of the Outdoor Adventurer experience.
No two days at Camp Headington are the same. Students might investigate a zombie outbreak, discover how nature inspires inventions, launch rockets, solve a forensic mystery or build and race their own machine. Each theme combines investigation, experimentation and practical challenges to make STEM active, creative and fun.
Camp Headington takes learning outdoors. Students take on experiences including raft building, bushcraft, climbing and high ropes, alongside excursions in Oxford and London. From working together on the water to exploring science beyond campus, adventure is part of the programme rather than an optional extra.
Every Outdoor Adventurer day begins with a question — and the excursions are where students go looking for the answers. What they investigate in the classroom, they test in the real world: in London’s great museums, and out at an outdoor activity centre near Oxford where the challenge is physical as well as scientific. Ages 10–14, in supervised groups, with staff alongside them throughout.
A day inside one of London's most famous museums. Students explore space, engineering and medicine through hands-on galleries and real objects, connecting what they learn at SBC to the discoveries that shaped the modern world.
A day outdoors taking on high ropes and climbing. Students go at their own pace, supported by their group – designed to develop confidence that only comes from doing something new.
Students work in teams to design and build a raft from the materials they're given. Planning, problem-solving and plenty of laughing — with a real result at the end.
Level up your summer with our optional extras, available at an additional cost with limited spaces, so add them to your package when you book.
Step into a real-life outdoor game. Set in a large woodland site filled with vehicles, buildings and movie-style props, students work in teams to take on missions and outdoor laser gaming challenges. They’ll need to move quickly, plan with their team and adapt as each game unfolds. With no paint and no previous experience needed, it’s an action-packed half-day that brings the excitement of gaming into the outdoors.
At Camp Headington, students live in purpose-built accommodation with single, twin and dorm rooms and shared bathroom facilities. Everyone has their own space to store their belongings.
Staff are available in the accommodation throughout the day and night to provide pastoral support. Each house hosts a communal area where students can play and relax together.
Camp Headington takes place at Headington Prep School in Headington, Oxford. The campus provides a welcoming base for camp life, with teaching spaces, sports and activity facilities and outdoor areas for students to learn, play and spend time together. Its Oxford location also gives students opportunities to explore the city and take part in experiences beyond the campus.

Camp Headington is based at Headington Rye Prep School in Headington, Oxford. The campus provides a welcoming base for students, with learning, activity and outdoor spaces for camp life. Its location also gives students opportunities to explore Oxford and take part in experiences beyond the campus.
We know that sometimes parents/guardians will want to visit their child while they are at Camp Headington, so we ask that you arrange this via your dedicated Admissions Manager with at least 24 hours’ notice. Where possible we want to make sure that students don’t miss too much of their exciting Summer School day so your Admissions Manager will be able to advise you on the best time to visit.
Camp Headington is delivered in English, so students need enough English to understand instructions, share ideas and take part in activities with other students. We recommend a minimum level of A2. Students do not need to speak English perfectly — the programme gives them plenty of opportunities to use English naturally while working, playing and exploring together.

Progress Report
Dukes Cambridge gives students the opportunity to explore academic subjects in greater depth before making decisions about their future studies, and through university-style seminars, projects and discussion — before university applications and subject choices become more important.
Students leave with greater confidence using English in an academic context and a clearer sense of their direction. They also leave with a detailed tutor reference letter that supports future university applications — written by a tutor who has worked closely with them throughout the programme.

Beyond the classroom
At our summer school, you build skills that will help you at university and in future careers. You learn your subject, and you also practise how to use it. You explain your ideas to a group. You question what you read and form your own opinion. You work with other students to solve problems. Classes are active: you listen, ask questions, discuss, and try things out for yourself.
Academic experience
On fieldwork days, tutors take students beyond the classroom — connecting theory to real-world settings through guided visits, practical experiments and exploration across Cambridge. On Industry Experience days, students step into professional scenarios: business simulations, medical workshops or creative briefs that show them how their subject connects to future careers.
Inside the classroom
Students work in small seminar groups of no more than 15 — analysing case studies, debating ideas and presenting their thinking. The pace is challenging. The support is constant. By the end of the first week, students have regular opportunities to contribute, discuss ideas and present their thinking with growing confidence.
Public Speaking & Presentations
In small teams, students research, develop and build a project linked to their chosen faculty. It’s collaborative, creative and designed to stretch — requiring them to negotiate ideas, divide responsibilities and present their work to an audience at the end of the week. The skills it builds — communication, teamwork, critical thinking — support success in higher education and future careers.
At the end of their experience, college students will receive a certificate of completion and a reference letter from their tutor that details their academic achievements during the two-week programme, character attributes and future aspirations, supporting their admission to the university of their choice or to their chosen career.
As part of their enriching two-week experience, students will enjoy two full-day excursions designed to complement their academic journey with cultural exploration and relaxation. These outings offer a well-balanced opportunity to engage with iconic British destinations, providing both stimulating and restorative experiences outside the classroom.
See famous landmarks, visit world-class museums and cultural attractions, take epic photos, shop some big-name stores, and soak up London's unforgettable energy.
Students will be able to take the day to explore the iconic city of Cambridge in detail, with a range of activities designed around discovery and recovery from an intense academic week.
Level up your summer with our optional extras, available at an additional cost with limited spaces, so add them to your package when you book.
Give your summer an unforgettable Cambridge highlight. Our Rowing Experience invites students aged 14–17 to step into one of the city’s most iconic traditions and learn to row with expert coaches at a real Cambridge boathouse. No experience is required, just curiosity, teamwork and a willingness to try something new.
Your session begins with a full safety briefing and hands-on training using indoor rowing machines, followed by a guided tour of the boathouse and a chance to handle real rowing equipment. Students then practise the rowing technique on land before taking to the water in a stable training boat designed for beginners. Under the guidance of qualified instructors, you’ll work together as a crew, build confidence stroke by stroke, and experience the thrill of rowing along the River Cam.
The experience concludes with a group debrief and photo opportunity, and every participant receives an exclusive Cambridge Rowing Experience hoodie, a perfect reminder of their time on the river.
A one-to-one consultation with a specialist from Oxbridge Applications, part of the Dukes Education family. The session is tailored to the individual student and their university plans, with guidance on relevant areas of the application process. Depending on the student’s needs, this may include course choice, application strategy, admissions tests or interview preparation. Designed for students considering Oxford, Cambridge or other highly competitive UK universities.
We’re proud to celebrate our students’ achievements in style with a graduation party. At the end of each two-week summer course the graduation ceremony offers moments of reflection and an opportunity to celebrate achievements, both personal and academic, and say goodbye for now to new friends. A certificate of completion will be presented to students during the event. We’ll also provide a report outlining all accomplishments while studying with us, along with helpful tips to guide learners in the right direction towards future success. This party offers the chance to dress up, have fun and celebrate the amazing friendships that have been formed during their stay.
At Dukes Cambridge, students will be allocated to one of our six accommodation blocks, which are all purpose-built with modern facilities. They are located a short walk from the school, with bedrooms being either single or twin rooms. The majority of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms, with a small number of shared facilities in the smaller accommodation blocks. During free-time, students have the option of socialising in the on-site common rooms or spending time in Cambridge city centre.
