For 6 hours per week, they engage in predetermined activities, such as squash, esports, cookery, fine art, music, photography, basketball, golf, badminton, dance, drama, and more. Millfield’s Brilliance Activity Programme is followed by Active Clubs, which gives young people the opportunity to choose from a range of recreational activities to enjoy for three hours per week.
Additionally, each attendee selects one of four focused camp options—Multi-Sport, Outdoor Adventurers, Creative Arts, or English—offering 15 hours of specialised instruction per week over two-week blocks. This allows them to focus on their chosen interest.
Glastonbury Campus
Our Glastonbury Campus is an extraordinary place where children’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do. Children aged 8 to 11 years old are encouraged to pursue their passions, learn new skills, and gain confidence. We do this by everyone following our values, which are: be kind, be curious, be challengers, be you, and be brilliant.
Our Summer Camp allows children to experience everything Millfield has to offer through our exciting Brilliance Activity Programme and engaging Curious Explorers sessions to well-being experiences, insightful excursions, and fun evening events.
To enhance wellbeing, children take part in Club Hour for up to 3 hours each week to meet like-minded people. Additionally, we have daily House Comms, a dedicated time when children can stay in touch with family and friends back home, ensuring they feel connected and supported throughout their time here.
The camp fees include a comprehensive social programme designed to keep everyone engaged, entertained, and active. This programme offers a perfect way for young people from different countries to come together, make lifelong friendships, and enjoy a variety of exciting activities in a welcoming and safe environment. Every moment is carefully planned to ensure a positive and memorable experience.
