Frequently Asked Questions

Exupery Summer Camp welcomes children from age 3 to 17. We have tailored programmes for three age groups: Preschool (ages 3–6), Junior (ages 7–10), and Teens (ages 11–17).

We have two main locations in Latvia: our flagship EIS Campus in Piņķi (15 minutes from Riga), and our popular Jūrmala location at Semarah Hotel Lielupe by the Baltic Sea.

The entire camp programme runs in English, providing 10+ hours of natural language immersion every day. Our experienced team supports all language levels with warmth and patience.

Children beginning to learn English are absolutely welcome! Each group is supported by leaders and assistants fluent in at least two additional languages (typically Latvian and Russian). Many activities — art, sports, music, games — promote learning through action, helping non-English speakers integrate naturally. We also offer a special support group for children who need an extra English boost.

Groups are formed by age and English proficiency level. Each group has a trained counsellor and an assistant who speaks at least two additional languages besides English. Group sizes vary from 12 to 18 students depending on age, ensuring personalised attention. For ages 3–6, the ratio is typically 1 teacher per 5–6 children.

Our team includes experienced teachers from Exupery International School, international professionals, university students, and specialists in science, art, music, technology, and sports.

The programme combines creative workshops, sports, group projects, science labs, art studios, and outdoor activities — all conducted in English. Children are grouped by age and English level. Daily workshops rotate so every camper can explore different interests. Each session culminates in a showcase where campers present their work to the camp community and parents.

Teens (ages 11–17) choose from specialised studios — Music & Art, Cinema, Fashion, Photo, VJ-ing, and Science Labs (Chemistry) — led by professional instructors. Each studio runs for five consecutive days, allowing deep creative exploration. Projects culminate in performances, exhibitions, and screenings at the end-of-session showcase.
