Optional Activity Extras

Optional extras are activities at XUK English that are a bit different and completely optional. It is always great to unwind and do something different, especially after a great morning of learning in the English lessons.

London

A day in the capital is available to our Inters and Teens. We explore the sights, hear the sounds, taste the food and sample the London life.

Your day will begin with a walking tour, so this trip is ideal for our campers who like to be on their feet.

After lunch, it's time to make our way to the theatre, ready for a West End show!

When the curtain goes down, it's off to dinner. Then we return back to the coach to return camp and get ready for an action paced next day!

  • From aged 10 upwards.
  • Campers must be able to walk long distances and carry their own bag
  • Not included in the Gold service.

Aqua Park

Explore the course and beat the water obstacles... Getting wet is compulsory as you bounce across trampolines, swing across bars, leap over hurdles and take on the giant iceberg!

You'll be kitted up before entering the lake. Whether you're an expert on the water or fancy trying something new, this trip is for you!

Theme Park

It's all thrills and spills at Paultons Park!

Our theme park option is always extremely popular, so we repeat it every year. For our campers who are real adrenaline junkies, Storm Chaser & The Edge will quickly become your favourite ride. For those who want a slightly easier ride but don't mind getting a little wet, The Log Flume is a favourite!

Laser Quest

This trip gives you the opportunity to Zap each other in a battle with laser guns in an indoor arena complete with neon lighting

We hope your child will love the adrenaline pumping exhilaration of stalking opponents and unleashing a volley of Laser Fire in the Battle-Zone of the next Century.

While each team breaks they have a chance to relax and enjoy the facility arcade games.

Leader in Training Programme

Our Leader in Training Programme (LIT) gives our 16 & 17 year old campers the opportunity to get a taste of what it is like to be part of our staff team whilst gaining valuable skills in problem solving, leadership, planning and time management.

In additional to taking their own morning lessons, campers who book onto our LIT programme will receive training in how to run great activities, deliver activities to our Juniors & Inters and plan & run an Evening Activity to our younger campers.
