The programmes are characterised by a friendly and dynamic atmosphere; there is an air of happy purposefulness here; a determination to succeed; to enjoy life, to enjoy each other’s company and, most importantly, to discover that there is far more in each of us than we think!
Daily Life
Participants stay in Woodstock dorms, modern buildings set in the midst of an ancient forest. Every morning participants eat a nutritious breakfast in dorms followed by a beautiful (and vigorous!) 15-minute walk up the mountain to the main campus, where students gather together for an assembly and debriefing before separating into smaller groups for their chosen courses. Our courses fill the morning with two, intense 100-minute sessions. Over lunch, participants then have a chance to relax, make new friends and enjoy some open gym time before the third and final session of the day, either a continuation of their course or a separate, afternoon activity that allows them to diversify their experience a bit more. The late afternoon offers time for one-on-one coaching, mentoring, or open studio time, or simply the chance to talk with new friends before dinner. Each evening, our team of student interns arranges a fun social activity ranging from bonfires to board games to open mic nights. We consistently hear that the warm environment and positive relationships participants form with peers and tutors represent some of the highlights of Summer at Woodstock!
