The camp is managed by Oxford professors and St. Clare's teachers.
Two supportive teachers accompanied us from departure until our return.
Upon arriving in the UK, we proceeded to our accommodation.
Our home for the next two weeks will be St. Clare's.
Each dormitory room housed two people and featured a simple kitchen and bathroom.
The beautiful building and lovely gardens heightened my anticipation for the upcoming itinerary.
A local teacher guided us through the dormitory and provided instructions.
The clean bathrooms and facilities were quite impressive.
The St. Clare's restaurant offers a daily buffet.

traditional dance classes and visits to the British Museum.
