General information
Summer Camp in Hurst College was founded in 1970 by Barnard couple. Beautiful views, healthy sea air and the ideal language environment of Brighton have determined the choice of school location. The atmosphere is warm, almost homely, that is why about 35% of all school students are permanent participants who return again and again. A distinctive feature of the center is a low percentage of Russian-speaking students.
