Ardingly Summer Language school
Alpadia provides support to students at camp, with staff on shift throughout the day and an emergency phone number available at all times.
Students are required to attend all classes, afternoon activities, and excursions. They are also required to report for all meals.
Whilst attendance in the evening activity is not mandatory, all students must report to staff at the beginning of the activity, are encouraged to participate, and must stay in camp if they do not attend.
Students are required to stay within the boundaries of camp. However, parents can sign the parental consent form in order for students to leave the camp at specific time slots. Typically, these timeslots include after the afternoon activity until dinner, and Saturday mornings. In addition, parental consent grants unsupervised time on excursions if it is offered (please note some camps offer evening excursions).
Students granted with unsupervised time must remain in groups of minimum 3 students.
Students who do not have parental consent can join the Alpadia Lounge or have free time in camp after activities. They may also have the option to visit local shops under supervision.
Students without parental consent will be accompanied at all times on excursions.
For the avoidance of doubt, students are not allowed to leave the camp in the evening (unless on a pre-programmed excursion) or during the night.
Please note that all students have free time inside camp, however staff members are available to offer support when needed.
