Godinne Fun British Sports – Externaat

Learn British Sports And English Camp (10-15)

So you want to try some popular British Sports? There is no other camp in Belgium (maybe even the world) where you will try this combination of British Sports! Students get the chance to try their hands at sports like Rugby, Cricket and Lawn Bowling. How about learning from experienced native British coaches and instructors? Well, at this beautiful school in Godinne, surrounded by trees and nature, we do just that! Whether you love sports or are just looking to try something new this summer, you could be trying all this and more. Fun language workshops and sports each day, plus exciting activities, swimming, and orienteering. All this means you will be having so much fun that you will forget you are even speaking English – it will be second nature.

I have loved sports ever since I was a child, and I think you will too. Sports build confidence, give us opportunities to use our communication skills and give children the chance to take on leadership skills among their peers. We look forward to welcoming your child onto the camp, teaching them English and British sports.

Meer info over de sporten

Lawn bowls is a sport played on grass, as the name suggests, and is featured at the Commonwealth Games and Paralympics. It requires both strategy and skill, making it easy to learn but challenging to master.

Touch rugby is a safe, fast-moving and accessible version of rugby that teaches players passing, teamwork and discipline, but also allows them to run up and down the pitch. The sport became popular in Australia, where today it is played by over half a million children. Our sessions are delivered by a qualified coach and referee with experience in coaching both rugby union and touch rugby.

Quick Cricket is a popular team game played in schools, summer camps and youth groups across Great Britain and develops coordination and daring. Players have to know when to stop running and when to go for an extra run. While the fielding team has to work together to get the batters out.

Kayaking and/or Stand-up Paddleboarding are water activities that take place on the river Meuse. Participants have the chance to try either kayaking or paddleboarding. Kayaking is sitting down, and paddleboarding is standing up. Both are great fun and easy to get started. All participants undergo a safety briefing and must wear buoyancy aids at all times.
