Review about Kings Summer - Bath Downside Summer Camp
We booked a trip for our daughter at Smapse, everything went perfectly! We wanted to organize an ordinary summer English course: we talked about our wishes and preferences, and SMAPSE managers presented us several options to choose from.
We were offered to take not just an English course, but a program with special focus - we chose a tennis camp: Anya just got excited with the idea and suddenly announced that she had wanted to learn it for a long time :) The proposed school also played a big role: Kings Summer Bath Downside is such a classic old British school-mansion, Victorian architecture.
All the fields and sport grounds are located right in the school: the territory of Kings Summer Bath Downside is huge, that's why students have an opportunity to study, practice and live in one place. Of course, there were excursions: the daughter sent a lot of photographs from London, from Bath, from Brighton. My daughter has learned playing tennis, next time we will choose something else :)
