This camp divides participants into two groups, with 9-13 year olds staying at the Summer Fields School, and 14-17 year olds staying at Oxford Brookes University.

Both campuses have a residential building, dining hall, soccer fields, classrooms, etc. that allow participants to perform daily camp activities without having to leave the facilities.

The younger group (9-13 year olds) has modern and colorful shared rooms, each with a capacity for 2, 3, or 4 students. The bathrooms are shared by 5 students. On the other hand, the older group (14-17 year olds) has single rooms with private bathrooms, which are somewhat older and more plain than the younger group´s accommodations.

Both campuses are large and have great common areas for training, classes and entertainment.
