WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

I had an amazing time in Singapore and Malaysia! I loved the Malaysia cooking class and I want to learn how to cook this food when I go back to my home and show my parents.

My favourite part of camp was when we went to the Little India, Arab Street and Chinatown excursions. I think it is very nice that so many different people live in the same place.

I really liked the dancing class in Malaysia, it was really fun and me and my friends laughed a lot. It was really interesting to see the difference between Singapore and Malaysia.

I had such a wonderful time in Singapore and Malaysia. I could see they were really taking in all the different cultures. Thank you to all the staff at BlueSky!

Singapore is such an amazing country and was the first country I visited in Asia. It was so great to get the chance to see Malaysia too on the same trip and has made me want to go and see more of Asia.

FAQs

Should we buy travel insurance for students?

Yes, it is compulsory. Our terms and conditions require you/ students buy comprehensive travel insurance covering overseas medical expenses and contents. We will ask for proof of such insurance policies from you for all students prior to accepting them to our camp.

What should students pack for the camp?

Students should pack clothes appropriate for the weather in the destination city during the holiday camps. Note that London could be chilly all year round, so always bring something warm, just in case. Students should also pack at least one set of formal wear/shoes for the Finale Night. Students are recommended to bring a hoodie or light jacket as classrooms are often air-conditioned and sometimes students may feel cold. Students are also recommended to bring comfortable walking shoes as students will do a lot of walking in destination cities. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint we also ask students to bring refillable water bottles that they can carry with them on excursions. Our destination countries may have differently shaped power outlets and voltages than your home country. Students should bring a power adapter along with whatever other chargers or electronic devices they may need. We also recommend students to pack props which they may want to use in their Talent Show.

How can parents monitor where the students are?

Our students have a full programme of classes and activities, and as such we know where they are. At night time, we will also have checking procedure to make sure all students are in their rooms.

Is there 24/7 emergency number to call?

Yes, we will provide 24/7 emergency number to your camp escorting teachers/ adults and students.

All students and their activities are covered under our public liability insurance. At the same time, all students attending BlueSky camp are required to buy comprehensive travel insurance which cover overseas medical expenses, personal content etc…

Are classes and hostels in the same place?

Depending on the allocation of hostels and classrooms, classes and hostels may be at the same university or school, or otherwise.

What are typical camp team building activities?

Our Camp Facilitators are trained to run fun-filled team-building activities. Debriefing after the activities will help students to understand main leadership & team-building learning points.

What are camp attractions and excursions?

We have a carefully selected list of attractions at destination cities to give students a chance to get to know the city, as well as to visit educational centres, historical monuments and museums. Visits to famous universities and college campuses have also inspired our students to strive for academic excellence.

Will I receive a certificate at the end of the course?

Yes, students will receive a certificate of completion if their attendance is at least 90% of classes. We require students to attend all classes, except due to health reasons.

What if my child gets homesick?

It's not unusual for children, especially younger ones away from home for the first time, to feel homesick the first few days. Most get over it quickly and go on to have a wonderful time. We provide structure and keep campers busy from the moment they arrive, which helps to shift their focus away from home to new friends and having fun. By the end of the first week, the routine is familiar and the homesickness has passed for the majority of campers.

Are students allowed to talk to parents during the camp?

Yes, they are allowed to call parents during the evening before bed and if there is an emergency. We encourage both parents and students to not be in constant contact throughout the day as it is distracting from their lessons and activities.

What is your safety track record?

In all our years of running programmes, we have never suffered a major incident. In the course of outdoor activities, our staff are trained in first aid and will always try to prevent accidents like knee scrapes and falls.

Are the participants insured?

BlueSky is insured by public liability insurance but for individual students they should purchase their own travel and medical insurance. A detailed policy schedule is available at https://www.bluesky-education.com/policy.html.

What safety measures does Bluesky practice?

At every camp we will have at least one trained first aider who will be present on site and during all activities and excursions. In the dormitories, our staff conduct regular checks throughout the day and night, with a roll count in the morning and before lights out.

What is the average age of the participants?

Our participants range from 7 to 18 years old, and we will pair them up by similar age and gender.

Participants should be able to communicate in basic English and are able to move around easily within the campus. Note that some campuses are not wheelchair friendly. They should also have individual travel documents with at least 6 months validity, and possess the relevant visas for entry into the respective countries.
