Which Location Should I Choose?

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 has one location - at Stirling University

All of our locations are in bonnie Scotland!

Underneath are the main difference between the different locations and Camps we offer. We are happy to setup a videocall to discuss the options with you! Please contact hiran@internationalsummercampuk.com to setup a videocall
