In a market saturated with traditional summer schools and classroom based study programmes, it can be difficult for international education agents to find something genuinely distinctive. Families are increasingly looking for meaningful experiences rather than formal lessons, and partners want programmes that deliver visible confidence and authentic language development.
Set on the shores of Lake Trasimeno in Italy, this fully immersive English language creative camp for children and teens aged 8 to 14 places students inside a living historical and fantasy world where English becomes the natural language of communication from morning to night.
This is not a typical English language camp. There are no formal lessons. No textbooks. No tests. Instead, students experience English as it should be used, as a real tool for creativity, teamwork and everyday interaction.
At the heart of the Armstrong English philosophy is a clear belief: children learn best when they need to use language, not when they are told to memorise it.
The programme does not include traditional classroom teaching. There are no grammar drills or written exams. English is used organically throughout the day as students collaborate, create, solve challenges and perform together.
Dormitories are mixed internationally, with English as the common language. From breakfast conversations to evening storytelling, students communicate in English because it is the shared language of their community. This creates authentic, confident language use that agents know parents value highly.
Each week, students step into a carefully designed themed world inspired by history and fantasy. The immersive setting encourages imagination while creating countless opportunities for meaningful language use.
Mornings are dedicated to structured Creative English Labs. These sessions include:
• Medieval costume and character workshops
• Storytelling and creative writing
• Arts and crafts
• Guided role play and world building
Students develop characters, craft costumes, build narratives and prepare for performances, all while communicating in English. The focus is on creativity, collaboration and self expression.
Afternoons combine English led sports, team challenges and supervised leisure time. Physical activity is an essential part of the experience, helping students stay energised and engaged.
Sports and games are conducted in English, encouraging spontaneous communication, leadership and teamwork. Whether participating in outdoor challenges or group competitions, students continue to practise English naturally in a dynamic environment.
The balance between structured creativity and physical movement ensures that learners of different personalities and strengths all thrive.
Evenings are highly engaging and bring the themed world to life. Activities may include international games, talent shows, medieval storytelling and collaborative challenges.
The week culminates in a large scale final performance: a reenactment of Hannibal’s Battle of Lake Trasimeno in 217 BC. This memorable event allows students to showcase the characters, stories and confidence they have developed throughout the camp.
Performing in English before peers is a powerful confidence building experience and a highlight for many participants.
Located on Lake Trasimeno, the camp offers more than language immersion. Students enjoy cultural and outdoor excursions that enhance the overall experience. These may include ferry trips across the lake, nature outings and farm visits.
The setting provides a safe and inspiring backdrop for international groups seeking a high quality experiential learning environment. Supervised leisure time ensures students can relax and socialise while remaining fully supported by trained staff.
The programme offers a comprehensive package designed to simplify planning for agents and group leaders.
