Summer camps at PGL offer children the chance to experience a magical world of fun and adventure with other children of the same age. The picturesque surroundings of our fantastic summer camp venues allow children to explore the wonders of the natural world. Combining fun with educational value, our summer holiday programs provide opportunities for children to build confidence in a unique, captivating environment and learn valuable life skills. 

Our summer camps are tailored to the age of the children, and the learning outcomes of each primary school stage to ensure that activities are age-appropriate and students will get the most out of them.
