This programme is a partnership between Summer Boarding Courses (SBC) and Ultimate Activity Camps (UAC), combining the strengths of both organisations. SBC offers residential summer courses for children from around the world, while UAC runs activity camps for local British children in the school holidays. Together, we provide a unique summer experience that builds confidence, encourages friendships, and allows international students to participate in high-quality activities while practising their English alongside British children.

SBC and UAC are sister companies and part of Dukes Education. While SBC oversees the recruitment process for Ultimate Activity Camps, all official documentation, including offer letters, reference checks, and DBS verifications, is managed by UAC. The positions are based at UAC summer camps and direct line management on the ground is by UAC Camp Managers. If you have questions or seek further details regarding this information-sharing, please get in touch.

Ways we support our Day Camp Teachers:

• Online and paid onsite training
• Online safeguarding and Prevent training
• Professional, fun and supportive environment
• Free parking at all sites

Ultimate English Teachers are responsible for delivering engaging English language lessons to international students aged 6-12. Integrated into the Ultimate Activity Camp programme, our Day Camp students participate in activities alongside British children. This setting not only fosters a multicultural exchange but also provides an immersive English learning environment.

Teachers work on-site from 08.30-4.30 Monday to Friday.
