Antonia, Germany



When I arrived very nice English Student Hosts came to us and asked us how the flight was. Then we had dinner, the food was very good. On the following day we went to Thorpe Park. It was really funny. The next few days we had English lessons, Workshops and activities, but on Sunday we went to Warwick Castle. And on Tuesday evening was the disco. The thing I liked the most here in Radley is the food and that you get to know new people.

Discovery Summer is for me one of the most wonderful centers in the world. Last week we went to Thorpe Park and it was amazing. Then we went to an old castle. Yesterday we met lions, giraffes, pigs and a lot of other animals. I really like it. I really want to go to Discovery Summer next year.

Discovery Summer is a great progamme for young people to make friends from all over the world, it offers oppurtunities for us to step out of our comfort zone and improve our social skills, there are a lot of activites that I will not be able to experience at home and the staff are very friendly and patient.
