Life Skills - Excellence in Action
The adults of tomorrow are growing up in a world of ever-increasing competition and change. We believe in equipping learners with the right life skills to stand out from their peers.
Using London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) Syllabi, AISL Outdoor has designed a comprehensive camp experience. Our programme aids learners in cultivating a commanding, clear speaking voice, honing proficient presentation skills and mastering the art of exhibiting and interpreting body language. This holistic approach equips our future adults with a distinct advantage, preparing them to thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
Over the course of 5 to 6 days, learners aged 8 to 12 and 13 to 16 will immerse themselves in the LAMDA Acting syllabus. This will be delivered through a blend of classroom lessons and performance rehearsals, offering a rich, hands-on learning experience.
This LAMDA-centric programme will reach its climax on the final day of the camp with a Stage Performance, providing an opportunity for learners to showcase the new skills they've developed.

Camp Final Day and Stage Performance
The AISL Outdoor Winter Camp prepares learners to showcase their newly acquired performance skills on stage, where learners can demonstrate their true potential to present the best versions of themselves. After going through auditions and hours of rehearsals of their production piece, participants will take the stage and perform in front of an audience of family and friends, making special memories to treasure forever.
We've planned three unique drama productions, each tailored to be age appropriate for all participants. Following the audition session on the first day of the camp, we will organize the participants into three distinct groups. The three drama productions are as follows:
1. Magpie Manor
Synopsis: ‘Can you solve the mystery at Magpie Manor? Set in the 1920s, this is an entertaining, energetic whodunit play. A crumbling manor house is in a state of disrepair and an auction is arranged to sell off the family heirlooms. However, the most valuable piece disappears but luckily Agatha Christie is on hand to catch the villain. Don the fringes and feathers, dust off the spyglass and join the flapper girls and their family, Inspector Spectre and a whole host of famous guests in this roaring 20's thriller.’
2. Polar Bear in New Jersey
Synopsis: ‘A teenage polar bear sets out on his first solo adventure, travelling all the way from the North Pole to New Jersey. A play addressing global warming, but mostly about fitting in when you are different. Join Avinnaq on his journey as he ventures into a new world where he struggles to navigate the unfamiliar environment, eventually triumphing with the help of new friends along the way.’
3. A Christmas Carol
Synopsis: ‘Step into the world of Charles Dickens and 1840’s London with this heartwarming classic. The uplifting story of “A Christmas Carol” is a timeless tale that captures the essence of the holiday spirit. Join us in the world of Bob Cratchit and Scrooge in a play brimming with magic, redemption and the power of love.’
At the end of the camp, learners will:
- Receive a Camp Attendance Certificate as an acknowledgement of their active involvement.
- Receive a range of awards (selected learners only) based on a variety of criteria, determined by a judging panel. These may include, but are not limited to, Best Performer, Most Improved and Most Comedic.
LAMDA Examination
Upon completion of the camp, if students are interested in taking the LAMDA Examination, we can facilitate support, dates and examination venues.
LAMDA is recognized as an awarding organisation by Ofqual, the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulation in England, Qualifications Wales and Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland. Communication and performance examinations at Grades 6 to 8 are recognised within the UCAS tariff for UK university entrance.
On the last day of the camp, before performances either Chief Examiner or Deputy Chief Examiner of LAMDA Examinations will give a presentation to the learners and performance day audience on the following topics:
- Introduction to LAMDA organisation, history, Ofqual accreditation and significance of exam qualifications especially with regard to UCAS points for University application and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
- The benefits of LAMDA classes and exams in relation to student's emotional wellbeing, educational advancement, future opportunities and lifelong skill attainment.
