Which Camp should I choose? | International Summer Camp UK

What are the differences between locations?

We run two Programmes - Camp Cooper which is a traditional, American-style summer camp and The Teen Leadership Challenge which is a unique & epic adventure for teenagers.

Camp Cooper has two fantastic locations - Camp Cooper Crieff and Camp Cooper Edinburgh

The Teen Leadership Challenge is located at Stirling University

All of our locations are in bonnie Scotland!
