Our camps for schools offer many social and emotional benefits. In a fresh environment, free from the usual classroom routines, students connect on a deeper level, learning to trust, communicate, and support each other. These shared experiences help strengthen peer bonds, reduce social barriers, and create a sense of belonging. Stronger relationships also lead to improved teamwork, increased empathy, and greater confidence, all of which contribute to a more positive and collaborative school culture once students return.
PGL ensures students are well‑nourished and energised throughout their stay, offering three healthy, high‑energy meals each day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Menus have been designed specifically to appeal to student tastes while also providing the energy and nutrients that students need. An unlimited self-serve salad bar is available at lunch and dinner, packed with fruits, vegetables and salads. Vegetarian options are always on offer, and PGL caters for a wide range of dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and allergy or religious / cultural requirements.
