How summer camps boost student learning and confidence

While summer is often seen as a time to rest and recharge, it’s also a perfect opportunity for students to learn and grow in new ways, and summer camps can play a big role in that. They provide a unique mix of fun, learning, and personal development.


Discovering new interests


At St Andrews, a wide range of Summer Activity Camps in sports, arts, music, robotics, and more is offered for children aged 4 years and up. Camps introduce students to new skills and hobbies in a relaxed, pressure-free environment, free to explore at their own pace.

Learning outside the classroom


Camps encourage learning through experience. Whether students are playing a new sport, solving a group challenge, or exercising their creativity, they’re developing skills without even realising it. Students stay mentally engaged and learn how to think critically, all in a fun and supportive setting.


Making new friends


One of the highlights of summer camps is meeting new people. Students from different schools and communities come together, and friendships are formed quickly through shared experiences, setting the foundation for key skills in adaptability and open-mindedness when meeting new people.


Building confidence and independence


Trying something new can be a challenge, and that’s exactly what builds confidence and resilience. At camp, students have the opportunity to try a new skill, sport, or activity that they may not get to try during the school year.


Enjoying the outdoors and being active


Summer camps offer a refreshing break from screens and indoor routines. St Andrews Summer Activity Camps include plenty of time outside through our sports, swim, and multi-activity camps. These activities not only support physical health but also help reduce stress and improve mood.


Developing life skills


Camps help students build important life skills that go beyond academics. Teamwork, leadership, time management, problem-solving, and communication are all part of the camp experience.
