As a collaboration with the dynamic University of Porto \u2013 one of Europe\u2019s best public research universities \u2013 we\u2019re offering children aged 11-17 the chance to explore the historic city of Porto (recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site)<\/a> as well as a whole lot more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three reasons you might send your child on a summer adventure at our fantastic Porto Unicamp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Developing English Skills (and Other Languages Too!)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English is the most widely spoken language in the world (when factoring in second language speakers), making it a lingua franca for tech, finance, science and a range of other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picking up another language is a rewarding pursuit in itself, but English has become so prevalent in these areas that it\u2019s a much sought after asset for prospective employers, helping your children get ahead in this ever more interconnected world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our course, developed in partnership with the University of Porto, is built around acquiring language in the most exciting and intuitive way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your children will attend 15 engaging lessons of English a week, but we also encourage communication in English through our various activities and supervised adventures. Plus, they\u2019ll be rewarded with a language course certificate, to verify, and celebrate, their achievements in our international camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the language learning doesn\u2019t stop there. Being in historic Porto, your children will also be participating in 5 Portuguese lessons every week. This unique romance language stretches far further than just its native Portugal, with over 200 million first language speakers, from Brazil to Macau to the west coast of Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chance to Explore the Great Outdoors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether they\u2019re toddlers who have just learned to walk, or teenagers spending perhaps too much time on their phones, outdoor play has a raft of benefits for children of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we know kids come in all shapes and sizes, what we will say is that outdoor experiences help us to live healthier lives, become more aware of the natural world around us, and develop essential skills of teamwork and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Porto camp offers over 20 fantastic learning activities, including two days of outdoor camping. Our participants will be able to marvel at the beautiful scenery and clear skies of northern Portugal, whilst remaining safe under the careful watch of our friendly staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These close connections to nature are invaluable to developing minds, helping them to better understand our ever changing world and their position in it, and why it\u2019s so important to protect what we have around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with all this introspection, we\u2019d never forget the importance of fun \u2013 and we\u2019ll also be taking them to the golden sands of Portugal\u2019s amazing coast, where they\u2019ll be able to participate in exciting activities on some of the most beautiful beaches on the continent. International camp in these amazing activities that we hope our trips will provide your children with many happy memories to look back on. But while looking to the future is important, we also think it\u2019s valuable for young generations to learn more about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re ready to take full advantage of the exciting city that surrounds our camp\u2019s headquarters at UPORTO, with trips into the immaculately preserved old town, a place that has been inhabited since before the roman era. We\u2019ll also be embarking on a river tour which involves an exciting excursion under Porto\u2019s six stately bridges. Beautiful though it is, we\u2019re not content just to stay within the city. Our complete adventure involves a half day trip to Vila Real, a quaint town to Porto\u2019s north-east, featuring historic villas where some of the country\u2019s most influential inhabitants once lived, and Aveiro \u2013 the Venice of northern Portugal \u2013 famed for, you guessed it, its gorgeous canals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
