Summer camps and activity holidays

Will and Sally's verdict

Our children have long been fans of PGL. Their adventure holidays and summer camps are all smiles from start to finish. Kids get a sense of achievement trying out new activities, while parents get peace of mind knowing that everything is taken care of by professional staff. Safety is first and foremost, with fun a close second.

PGL says

With more than 50 years’ experience pioneering children’s adventure and activity holidays, our mission has always been to provide children with a unique mix of adventure, freedom and friendship, delivered in a safe and caring environment.

Children aged 7 to 17 years of age can join one of our adventure holidays and summer camps in England, Scotland and Wales. Activities are split by age group – ages 7 to 10, 10 to 13 and 13 to 16 years of age. With expert tuition and careful supervision, children can try their hand at any number of activities such as abseiling, circus skills, orienteering, pony trekking, dragon boat racing and fencing.

New for 2012 is the Bushcraft holiday, available at Beamhouse in Devon. Children will learn how to construct shelters, forage for food and keep warm, all under the instruction of a bushcraft expert.

Alternatively, we offer a matchless range of four and seven night activity holidays for families in the UK and France. There is a choice of 13 locations from the Isle of Arran to the English Riviera. Accommodation varies from hotel-style rooms to chalets.

If you are new to PGL and want the chance for your children to experience a taste of what PGL offers before booking a longer holiday, we offer one- and two-night ‘kids only’ Introductory Adventures from only £99 including all activities, equipment, instruction, food and accommodation.
The price is refunded if you book again. Places are limited so early booking is highly recommended.
