Language and culture

Fantastic value for money

Holiday choices

Hassle free holidays

With an exciting choice of excursions to iconic British cities, historical and cultural sites, theme parks and shopping centres, and our unique English language courses run by qualified instructors, all international campers are given a wonderful opportunity to practise their language skills and fully immerse themselves in British culture everyday.

As well as our wildly popular English Adventure holiday, each of our UK camps also offer a wide selection of adventure activity holidays, perfect for igniting the imagination and introducing new hobbies from horse riding and surfing, to rock climbing, music and outdoor survival. A range of special events, including talent shows, fancy dress and magicians also take place at camp. Check out our full range of activities on pages 12-13.

A dedicated team

The wellbeing of our campers is our top priority, so we guarantee all staff are fully trained in health, safety and pastoral care. We’re also a founder member of the British Activity Providers Association, appropriately licensed by the Adventurous Activities Licensing Service and on the voluntary part of Ofsted’s Childcare Register.

Home away from home

Age matters

Clean, comfortable and 100% child friendly, our camps offer all the creature comforts of home with gender and age-appropriate dormitories (some en-suite) and space to relax and chill out at the end of the day. And of course we know all too well the importance of refueling young, active bodies, so there’s plenty of fresh, healthy hot and cold food when campers gather together to eat at mealtimes.

campbeaumont.com | +44 (0) 1603 614000

Our friendly team will be on hand to help you with every stage of the booking process, from arranging transport, travel insurance and camp kit through to providing a list of clothing required. Our holidays really are as simple as ‘1, 2, Hassle Free’.

No camp would be complete, or possible for that matter, without a great team onboard - so it’s lucky we’ve got just that! All our staff are CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked, trained in safety procedures and evaluated on an ongoing basis. We also have a dedicated NSPCC trained child protection officer at every camp. Just as importantly perhaps, all members of the Camp Beaumont team are passionate about what they do and have bundles of energy and enthusiasm.

Safety guaranteed

We guarantee to keep the cost of fun as low as possible, and our prices are fully inclusive of all activities, equipment and expert instruction, accommodation, food and entertainment, with the option to add excursions, camp kits and insurance. But with Camp Beaumont you get so much more than just a holiday – the experience and memories are ones that even money can’t buy.

It’s important for all our visitors to feel completely comfortable and at ease in their surroundings, so campers are divided into their respective age groups (7-10’s, 11-13’s, 14-15’s and 15-17’s) for all activities and sleeping arrangements, although they do get to mix and mingle during meal times.

For our youngest visitors, our safe and nurturing camp environment provides a mix of age-appropriate sports and adventure activities, all of which allow our young campers to mix with children of the same age, push the boundaries, try something different and discover new skills - creating wonderful memories and friendships along the way.

Adventure and fun is definitely the name of the game for our 11-13 campers. They relish the opportunity to holiday on their own and love all that camp has to offer from sharing dorms, making new friends and eating meals together, to finding the courage to fly the zip wire and abseil down the climbing wall.

While learning to spread their wings, these young adventurers will of course be under the constant supervision of our dedicated Camp Coaches, with plenty of friendly support available night and day and even those gentle reminders to brush their teeth!

This camp experience can be an important rite of passage for teens, teaching them valuable skills and helping to boost their confidence and self esteem.

Camp Beaumont offers the same unforgettable experience for every visitor, from our youngest first time campers to our seasoned teenage pros. It’s a sense of excitement, adventure and roundthe-clock fun; the shared camaraderie of dorm life and stories around the campfire; that exhilarating first taste of independence; a chance to chill out with new friends and make the most of some quality, parent-free time away from home.

At Camp Beaumont we find our teenage campers are a pretty confident and outgoing bunch, eager to try something daring and new, embrace every challenge and tackle each action-packed activity that comes their way.

So at Camp Beaumont this is exactly what we do. We create an exciting world of adventures and unlimited possibilities for them to enjoy, from exploring underground, speeding round corners and leaping from dizzying heights – all in one adrenaline-fuelled day.

We want you, as parents, to feel confident that your child is in safe hands at Camp Beaumont.

Safety first

We carry out risk assessments for all activities with detailed inspections across our purpose-designed camps. All staff (who are fully CRB checked) receive firstclass training in our rigorous operating procedures and we continually review our safety policies to ensure they are always up-to-date and comply with best practice.

Total care

We take our responsibilities very seriously, maintaining the highest standards of supervision and pastoral care and continually monitoring and improving our procedures.

The best team

We search high and low to find the very best people out there – the ones who demonstrate patience, enthusiasm, empathy and a sincere desire to enhance the lives of children. We have a dedicated Welfare Team, committed to making sure all campers are happy, relaxed and feeling right at home.

The assurance of our child’s safety and wellbeing was paramount when looking at holiday camps and Camp Beaumont did not let us down.

- Abby O’Halloran, parent, England

Skills for life Camp Beaumont offers a unique experience that can benefit your child both personally and socially. We asked parents to tell us why they send their children to camp - here are a few of the reasons they gave: “Have loads of fun”

Since we began over 30 years ago, we’ve welcomed over a million smiling faces to our camps. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure all our young campers have a summer to remember.

“Make new friends”

At Camp Beaumont children have the chance to build relationships that might otherwise be hard to develop in a school setting. Campers have the opportunity to make friends with others from all over the world, creating a wonderful exchange of ideas and culture and returning home with an armful of new email addresses.

“Try new activities”

Our adventure activities encourage children to take healthy risks and use their initiative, discovering their inherent talents and being rewarded for their successes. They’ll also have the chance to try something new – experiencing activities and sports they may never have

seen before, let alone given a go. Parents often tell us their children enjoyed an activity so much, they continued it as a hobby at home – Camp Beaumont may well have influenced a whole new generation of climbers, kayakers and quad bikers, or even a future Olympian or two!

“Develops children’s life skills”

A visit to camp is a great way to boost your child’s self-esteem and help them challenge their own boundaries. Whether they’re reaching the top of the climbing wall when afraid of heights, or simply staying away from home for the first time, camp really can help to increase their confidence. Parents often cite this as the biggest difference they notice in their child on their return from camp. It’s also a great place for building and developing life skills, such as independence, interdependence, tolerance, responsibility and loyalty – giving children a real advantage over their peers as they grow up and learn to make their own way in the world.

Our people Our staff make each Camp Beaumont holiday that extra bit special for every child, creating a safe, secure and happy environment that is guaranteed to make their time at camp complete. We search high and low to find the best possible people to work with us here – those whose enthusiasm and commitment to inspiring and motivating young people shine through. Many of our staff came to Camp Beaumont as children, so they know better than anyone what it takes to make a really special environment, just like the one they enjoyed years ago.

A dedicated team

Each camp has a dedicated management team on site including a Camp Manager, Welfare Manager and Programme Manager, to ensure that everything is running smoothly and to resolve any issues if they arise. From the moment children arrive at camp they are taken under the wing of their own Camp Coach, who, just like a big brother or sister, is approachable, friendly and fun and there to answer any questions campers may have - as well as keep a responsible eye on them from dawn through to dusk.

54 |

Activity Instructors

All of our activity instructors are fully-trained to the highest standards and receive ongoing updates on health and safety, first-aid and welfare. All are assessed on a regular basis to ensure our standards never slip.

All staff

All camp staff, from instructors and Camp Coaches to catering, security, maintenance and office staff, hold an up-to-date enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. Each camp has fully trained first-aiders on site, as well as night duty staff available at all times. We choose our staff for their passion as well as their experience as we believe this approach makes Camp Beaumont that little bit extra special.

FAQS

Great experience, both girls had a wonderful time!!! Thanks to Camp Beaumont staff for making this a happy and fun experience! Age groups

Campers are split into 4 main age groups (7-10 year olds, 11-13 year olds, 14-15 and 15-17 year olds) for accommodation and all activity arrangements. However, if siblings (of the same gender) would like to share accommodation, or you feel that your 11 year old would feel more comfortable in a group with younger children or your 13 year old would like to join friends in the 1415 year old group, then an ‘overlap’ between groups can be discussed on a case by case basis - please feel free to discuss the options with our team. Please note that all our dormitories are same gender and it is not possible for brothers and sisters to share accommodation.

Equipment

All specialist equipment (conforming to British or European standards) is supplied by the centre, as are approved buoyancy aids and lifejackets, which must be worn for all watersports. At Camp Beaumont we are continually updating our safety equipment to reflect best practices.

Off-site Activities

On occasions we like children to explore the local area; this could be an escorted walk to a nearby village, National Park or games on the beach. Children entering the sea on a beach visit will be accompanied by a qualified Beach Lifeguard.

- Karem Armstrong, parent, Spain Q. Can I come and visit before deciding? A. Yes of course – just call us to arrange a guided tour of any of our camps. Q. Will my child take part in all activities? A. We cannot guarantee they will take part in everything as there’s so much on offer, but we fit in as many activities as possible. Occasionally poor weather means we have to put some activities on hold, but all camps have indoor facilities so there’s still no time to get bored! Q. Can my child change their holiday at camp? A..As long as there is availability and we are given good notice. You will be asked to pay the difference in any cost and an administrative fee may apply, but if you’re happy with the change, we’ll arrange it as soon as we can. Q. What happens if my child has chosen to focus on their favourite activity but wants to go on an excursion at the same time? A. Your child can choose to miss part of their chosen activity to go on an excursion but we won’t be able to offer you a refund. Our excursions take place on certain days and times to fit with the rest of camp and the venue opening times, so there can sometimes be an overlap. Q. Will my child have many opportunities to speak English? A. Yes, plenty. All activities and entertainment is carried out in English and your child will be staying with children from a wide range of countries, including the UK, so campers usually communicate in English during their free time. During cultural excursions, children will complete worksheets to help them practice their written language skills.

campbeaumont.com | +44 (0) 1603 614000

Q. How do you deal with welfare issues, like homesickness? A. We know how important the welfare of your child is, so each camp has a dedicated Welfare Manager on site. They’re great at turning tears to smiles and helping children get fully involved in camp life. If our staff have any concerns they will of course contact you as you know your child best. Equally you should call our team if you have worries. Q. How do I contact my child? A. We have activities planned from dawn till dusk so the children often don’t have much free time. The first weekend is also a really important time to allow the children to settle into camp routines. However if it is necessary to get in touch with your child, you can use email, or if you’d prefer to phone, call the camp by midday Monday to Thursday and we will do our best to arrange a phone call for the same evening. Please note we do have limited phone lines and cannot guarantee a specific time on any given day. Q. Can my child take their mobile phone? A. Yes, but in case of loss, theft or damage and to help prevent homesickness, amongst other things, we recommend that your children do not bring mobile phones. We are unable to accept responsibility for mobile phones and have clear policies on their use, in particular that they may not be used during activities, meal times or after children have retired for the night. Q. Do you have a Code of Conduct? A. Yes we do – you’ll receive a copy in your welcome pack and you and your child should sign and return this before arrival. Campers are also made aware of any camp rules upon arrival and reminded of these where appropriate throughout the stay.

Q. Can my child share a room with a friend or sibling? A. We will always do our best to keep campers together with their friends where we can; just let us know who they want to share with when you return your Welcome forms. Please note that all our dorms are arranged by age and gender, therefore it is not possible for brothers and sisters to share accommodation. Q. What time do campers go to bed? A. It varies according to age, with lights out generally at 9.30pm for younger children and 11pm for the oldest campers. It is part of our staff’s role to get everyone to bed reasonably on time – sometimes easier said than done! Once ‘lights out’ has been called, night duty staff take over. They reassure the anxious, encourage the high spirited to settle down and continue their vigil until all is quiet. They also monitor accommodation throughout the night. Q. What about children’s hygiene? A. Campers are encouraged to wash and shower daily, with younger campers supervised for teeth cleaning and hair brushing and older campers receiving a gentle reminder when needed. We do however expect that campers take responsibility for ensuring they wash/shower and clean teeth on a daily basis. Q. How secure are the accommodation buildings during the day? A. All accommodation buildings are secured when the children are on activities. If your child needs to get something from their dormitory, their Camp Coach can let them in. We actively discourage use of the dormitories during the day and concentrate on ensuring campers are having fun.

Q. What’s the food like? A. Our food is suitable for the fast paced activity holiday environment offering freshly prepared meals and varied menus with a number of choices each day. We encourage campers to try new things and even get most of them to go for the salads! Please let us know about any special requirements before arrival. Q. What should my child bring to camp? A. Don’t worry we’ll send you a packing list once you’ve booked. We recommend you leave iPods, mobile phones, mp3 players, laptops etc. at home as we can’t look after them and they’re not covered by our insurance. Children should bring their own suitable outerwear, such as a good waterproof anorak or cagoule, waterproof trousers, footwear and casual clothes, including long sleeved trousers and t-shirts. There’s no need for expensive or brand name clothes that are easily lost or damaged either. We provide all the specialist safety kit needed for our activities. Please make sure you label all items with a full name – we find it helps your child remember what they’ve packed at the end of their stay if you also send them along with our packing list. Q. What about pocket money? A. We recommend your child brings up to £10 per day. We have a small shop on camp, with souvenirs and a selection of snacks and drinks. We also offer a ‘bank’ style facility where campers can keep their money safe, withdrawing a little each day to spend in the shop on gifts or snacks, or on day trips and excursions.

Q. Can I drop my child off and pick them up from camp? A. Yes course you can, this is our most popular method of arrival. You should drop them off between 3pm and 5pm on their first day and pick them up between 9am and 11am at the end of camp. Please note that early arrival or late collection may result in additional charges. Q. My child has a medical condition or has had behavioural issues - can they still come to camp? A. Please give us a call to discuss the details with one of our team before booking your holiday. Whilst we pride ourselves on giving a truly inclusive camp, and it’s rare that we cannot host a child, there may be occasions where our camp is not suitable for a child. The more information we have in advance, the better we are positioned to confirm suitability. We do reserve the right to send a child home immediately at the parent’s expense with no refund if we believe their behaviour adversely affects the enjoyment of other campers or impacts the safety or welfare of anyone else. Q. Are there laundry facilities at the camp? A. We offer a laundry service specifically for children staying at camp for longer than one week.

PRICE AND PAYMENT 5.1 Subject to any special terms agreed in writing You shall make payment for the Deposit and the balance of the Price in accordance with the Payment Dates. We will not send payment reminders. For customers paying by credit/debit card, Your nominated credit/debit card will be automatically debited for the remaining balance on the date shown on Your invoice. If You wish to settle your balance using an alternative credit/debit card or another means, You must ensure that You contact Us at least 10 days prior to the due date shown on Your invoice. In the event that Your nominated credit/debit card is declined, We reserve the right to cancel Your booking in which instance our cancellation charges as detailed in clause 4.6 will be applied to Your booking and/or to charge interest in accordance with clause 5.3. 5.2 A charge of £30 will be applied to Bookings received from persons outside the United Kingdom to cover additional administration and postage charges. 5.3 If You fail to make payment by the Payment Dates then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Us We shall be entitled to charge You interest at the rate of 5% per annum above Royal Bank of Scotland base rate from time to time until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest). 5.4 A 2% credit card charge will be applied to all credit card transactions (such charge shall not exceed £30.00). 6. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES 6.1 Participation in activities requires individuals to be in good health and have a reasonable basic level of fitness and a willingness to take part. 6.2 You will be required to complete and return to Us the appropriate Pastoral Care forms contained in Your Welcome Pack which will be sent out to You once Your booking has been confirmed. Completed Pastoral Care forms must be received by us BEFORE we can accept your child at camp. We reserve the right to exclude any Child arriving at camp where completed Pastoral Care forms have not been received by Us prior to their Arrival at Camp. 6.3 Children will be required to ensure that their behaviour is compatible with the orderly conduct of activities and that minimal disturbance to other visitors is caused and Children are required at all times to follow the verbal and/or written instructions of Our staff. 6.4 You and Your Child shall at all times take such precautions as shall be necessary and/or as may be reasonably required by Us to prevent or restrict the spread of infectious or contagious diseases e.g., chicken pox, gastro enteritis. In particular (and without limitation) You are required to advise Us if Your Child has suffered from or been in contact with other persons or animals suffering from infectious or contagious diseases representing any threat to human health within the period of 4 weeks prior to the Arrival Date at Camp in which case We shall be entitled to cancel the Booking of the Child and the appropriate Cancellation Charges (calculated on a pro-rata basis where appropriate) will apply but may be reclaimable under the Travel Insurance if selected by You (terms and conditions apply - see policy for

details). Failure to provide such information that results in additional care to your child (and or other children where a communicable disease) will incur additional charges as deemed appropriate and reasonable for the care required. 6.5 We reserve the right to decline to accept or to cancel any Booking or exclude any Child at any time prior to the Arrival Date or between the Arrival date and the Departure Date if in Our reasonable opinion the behaviour of that Child is or may be disruptive, dangerous, inappropriate or incompatible with the general enjoyment of other visitors. Behaviour deemed inappropriate may include but is not limited to: • leaving the site unless accompanied by a member of Our staff; • threatening behaviour including offensive or insulting language to other visitors or Our staff; • suspected involvement with illegal drugs; • smoking by under 16’s or smoking outside designated areas; • entering accommodation used by the opposite sex or fostering an inappropriate relationship with another visitor; • wilfully leaving allocated accommodation blocks without good reason after lights out; • inappropriate use of mobile phones, cameras or video equipment • theft, vandalism or illegal activities; • inappropriate behaviour; • bullying (in any form) which adversely affects the enjoyment of other visitors. Where we exercise Our rights under this clause You must arrange for Your Child to be collected within 24 hours of Our notifying You. Any additional costs so incurred shall be entirely Your responsibility and You shall reimburse any costs reasonably incurred by Us in connection with the exclusion of Your Child (to include costs of arranging alternative care and/or transportation). 6.6 It is Your responsibility to inform Us at the time of Booking or as soon as You become aware of any actual or anticipated disabilities, social or behavioural problems or circumstances (including details of past experiences) affecting Your Child where such problems or circumstances may affect Your Child’s stay, the stay of other visitors and the ability of Our staff to support Your Child appropriately. This may include but is not limited to mobility or medical problems, diagnosed conditions such as ADHD or Aspergers Syndrome, past difficulties experienced such as being excluded from school or extended periods being cared for away from parents. If We believe that We need to make reasonable adjustments to our usual programme or pastoral care arrangements of a Child We will carefully consider matters with reference to social compatibility, physical access, successful participation and health and safety. All information provided will be treated sensitively and confidentially. We are committed to making our holidays accessible to as many guests as possible but upon occasion may recommend a day camp holiday in place of a residential stay and very occasionally We may not be able to provide the service required. Where such information is provided to Us promptly and as required under these Conditions and We cancel any Booking made You shall be entitled to a full refund of any Deposit or part of the Price relating to the affected part of the Booking as the case may be. 6.7 On request You shall provide Us with written confirmation from Your Child’s General Practitioner confirming the suitability of the Holiday for Your Child with particular reference to such considerations as physical access, successful participation and health and safety. 6.8 We reserve the right to exclude any Child or cancel the Booking for any Child at any time prior to the Arrival Date or between the Arrival Date and the Departure Date if We in Our absolute discretion have reason to believe that important information has not been provided to Us. In such circumstances Cancellation Charges shall be payable as set out at clause 4. 6.9 Where We provide transportation as part of the Booking You and/or Your Child shall abide by the travel rules and policies applicable from time to time, the current details of which are available on request & online at www.campbeaumont.co.uk. All transport routes are subject to minimum numbers and availability, and times may change depending on operational requirements. Any changes to routes or times will be notified to You as soon as is reasonable and where possible a suitable alternative will be provided or a refund will be offered. 6.10 In an instance where a child is seen by our first aiders and has been deemed to be well, if a parent then requests the child to be taken to a doctors’ surgery or hospital and a taxi journey is involved, you may be liable for the cost of the journey. Where

this is the case, we will endeavour to contact you to authorise the payment. 6.11 Supervised off-site visits may be included in some Holidays without prior notice to You. If You do not wish your Child to participate in such off-site visits (which may include, amongst other things, beach walks, local shop visits, etc) it will be Your responsibility to inform us prior to the Arrival Date. 7. COMPLAINTS If any problem is experienced between the Arrival date and the Departure Date the matter should be immediately reported to the camp manager to allow Us the opportunity to rectify any problem raised. If it is not resolved You should write to Us within 28 days of the Departure Date and We will endeavour to find a satisfactory solution. You can find full details of our complaints procedure on our website at www.campbeaumont.co.uk. 8. LIABILITY 8.1 Our liability hereunder (except in respect of death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or that of Our employees or agents which is not limited or excluded by these Conditions) for any delay in performing or any failure to perform any of Our obligations in relation to the Booking shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to You in the cheapest available market of similar services to replace those not performed over the Price. 8.2 In all cases except where personal injury, illness, or death results Our liability is limited to a maximum of twice the Price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges). 8.3 Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or that of Our employees or agents We shall not be liable to You by reason of any representation or any implied warranty condition or other term or any duty at common law or under the express terms of the Contract for any consequential loss or damage, (whether for loss of profit or otherwise) costs, expenses, or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever (and whether caused by Our negligence or that of Kingswood’s employees or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the Booking except as expressly provided in the Conditions. 8.4 Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions all warranties, conditions, or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by Law. 8.5 You shall indemnify Us and keep Us indemnified from and against any and all direct and indirect loss, damage, costs, claims, demands, or liability (whether criminal or civil) arising out of any injury or other loss to Us or Our employees, guests, visitors, or agents resulting from your negligence or breach of the Contract unless We are liable for the same under these Conditions. 9. TRAVEL INSURANCE You must arrange suitable insurance before we will accept the Booking. We will add the cost of Travel Insurance to the Price unless You provide details of Your insurer when making a booking enquiry or submitting a booking form. Where you elect to arrange your own insurance you must ensure that the policy you have in place provides equivalent protection to that provided by Our Travel Insurance. 10. PERSONAL PROPERTY 10.1 You and Your Child must take all appropriate measures for the protection and security of any valuables, baggage or other personal possessions. 10.2 We accept no liability for loss or damage to valuable, baggage or personal property unless such loss or damage is proven to be due to Our negligence or that of Our employees or agents. 10.3 If any personal possessions are missing when Your Child leaves camp please let the camp manager know about immediately as there may still be time to find the missing property before camp closes down at the end of the season. Expensive and treasured items such as mobile phones, jewellery, CD players, mp3 players, Walkmans, i-pods, personal video games, digital cameras, i-phones, designer clothes/shoes/trainers etc should not be brought to camp as they are unnecessary and inappropriate on an adventure holiday. Items such as these may only be partially covered under the Travel Insurance, subject to an excess and not covered as new for old. 10.4 We are unable to accept responsibility for mobile phones should they be lost or damaged at Camp. We have clear rules on use of mobile phones at Camp, notably that they may not be used during the activities, meal times or after children have retired for the night.

11. FORCE MAJEURE We shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any obligation (including actioning any alteration or cancellation) due to any cause beyond Our reasonable control including strikes, lock-outs, labour disputes, shortages of personnel, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, terrorism, malicious damage, threats to safety, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, environmental contamination, pandemic outbreak of disease, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm, difficulty or increased expense in obtaining workmen, materials, goods or raw materials in connection with the performance of this Agreement. 12. PHOTOGRAPHY, MARKETING & THE INTERNET 12.1 To ensure that our marketing materials give an accurate and honest impression of our camps We use images of children attending previous camps in our marketing. If You do not wish images of Your Child to appear in our future marketing materials please inform us of this in writing prior to the Arrival Date so that We can ensure that Your Child is not included within any photographs which may later be used for marketing purposes. 12.2 Children will have access to the internet whilst at camp. Please inform Us in writing if You do not wish for Your Child to be able to use the internet. Equally if your child is permitted internet access but not access to social networks, please advise accordingly. 12.3 Inappropriate use of or sharing of images or videos taken at camp is not permitted and may result in your child being excluded from camp. 13. DATA PROTECTION Personal information requested during the booking process is held on computer and used by Us in connection with the Booking. Where necessary We share personal information with our employees, agents, sub-contractors, franchisees and other third parties for the purpose of fulfilling our obligations under the Contract. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect personal information. Please note the provisions of clause 12 in relation to the use of photographs. 14. GENERAL 14.1 The headings in the Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation. 14.2 We may perform any of Our obligations or exercise any of Our rights hereunder by Ourselves or through Our employees agents franchisees sub-contractors or affiliates. 14.3 No waiver by Us of any breach of the Contract by You shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or other provision. 14.4 No failure by Us to exercise any power given to Us or to insist upon strict compliance by You with any obligation hereunder and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with these Conditions shall constitute any waiver of any of Our rights under the Contract. 14.5 No person who is not a party to this Contract has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of these Conditions but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from under that Act. 14.6 If any provision of these Conditions is held by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part that provisions shall apply with the minimum variation necessary to ensure enforceability and the validity of the other provisions of these Conditions and the remainder of the provisions in question shall not be affected thereby. 14.7 The Contract shall be governed by the laws of England and subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.

Adventure activity holidays & day camps for 7-17 year olds

Our stay at Camp Beaumont was the most amazing time ever! I love it so much they have loads of activities going on. And all of the staff were great! The children in my group had a wonderful experience of a life time; I have been going for 2 years and already booked for next year. Words can`t describe how much I love Camp Beaumont! - Hanna Mikwar, Saudi Arabia

English Options has been sending youngsters to Camp Beaumont for 6 years. The students benefit from the cultural immersion in an English summer activity camp with other English campers. The wide variety of activities are always the highlight. A great way to make new international friends and learn real English while having a great English summer holiday. - Louise Lanzer, Spain
