A summer of fun at Xplore!

This blog article has been written by one of our lovely international students who stayed with us at our Worksop camp.  This is her experience of Xplore! 

"When I arrived here on Sunday, the first thing I thought was that the college is absolutely amazing and spacious. Throughout my time here the instructors have been friendly and are always willing to help out, when possible. Everyday you can choose different activities to participate in, which prevents you from being bored or sad! In these two weeks I learnt how to survive in the forest; create bracelets; masks and how to shoot an arrow like Katniss Everdeen, which I didn’t expect to be able to do.

English lessons are not a problem! At first I was worried of making some mistakes, then I stopped being afraid because teachers and instructors were able to put me at ease. Lessons here are a little bit different from those I have at school and topics we talk about are much more interesting.

On the 23rd of July I went to Alton Towers via coach, which was long. When I arrived I saw The Smiler, with all of the loops, which made me feel like I was going crazy thinking would I be able to go on the rollercoaster. The Smiler is the scariest rollercoaster I’ve ever been on, even though it was incredible to go upside down. It was a wonderful day and if I could, I would do it again and again. 

In my personal opinion being here is an experience everyone should try at least once in their life time because you can improve your English whilst having fun and you can also make friends from all over the world, which is fantastic!”

Thank you Stephaniia, we hope to welcome you back at camp next summer!
