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.

*It's possible that one day a week participants will go to the club's official facilities to carry out various activities, but this information is still to be confirmed.

There are special menus that can be chosen if notified in advance including gluten-free, lactose-free, halal menu, vegetarian or vegan menu.

Safety

This camp takes place on two campuses close to the center of Oxford, a quiet and safe city famous for having one of the world's most reputable universities, as well as for its vibrant university atmosphere.

Participants spend most of the day on campus. There they sleep, eat, train, and also engage in leisure activities.

They only leave campus to go to Oxford United's sports facilities or for the excursions included in the program, such as a trip to Oxford University and a tour of Oxford United's stadium.

Participants are accompanied by monitors who supervise them 24 hours a day, both inside and outside the residence. Each monitor is responsible for supervising a group of 16 participants.
