2 . Summer Camps for Kids

PGL or Parents Get Lost is the big daddy of summer camps. Most popular is the seven-day multi-activity camp, a mix of dance, photography and more. It has three, four, and seven-night camps, including a first-timer week for new campers.

As well as the activity weeks you’d expect from a summer camp, it also offers 19-day journeys, through some of the most beautiful natural scenery (景色) in the UK. You will spend every day camping out underneath the stars, on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through either Wales, Scotland or the Lake Districts.

This outdoor activity centre is perfect for the active adventurer. Family-run for nearly 40 years, the summer camp focuses on team building and problem-solving with children encouraged to work together to build rafts, cross the river and complete the assault course (障碍场).

Connecting with nature by growing, cooking and sharing food is at the heart of this camp. It also offers woodland arts, countryside experience as well as lots of outdoor fun and games. Kids will water, pick and cook vegetables from the forest garden, and there are lots of new experiences like cooking sweet potatoes on the campfire.
