Some water-based activities are reduced due to the colder weather, therefore, all our winter school holiday camp programs are tweaked slightly to incorporate more land and air-based activities to maximise the value and sense of adventure for children. This is just about the only change; all of our meal provisions, our exceptionally high standard of care and our accommodation facilities are the same.

Winter school holiday camps are more than just fun activities. It gives children the opportunity to experience new and challenging situations in a controlled environment and take their first steps towards independence. At a PGL winter camp, children will develop self-confidence and resilience, spend time in nature (away from those pesky devices), have a chance to take on leadership roles, make a heap of new friends and make lifelong memories in the process!

PGL undertakes Essential Safety Measures compliance annually, which ensures that our camps are well-maintained and safe. This includes compliance with air handling systems, exit doors, emergency lighting, emergency power supply, fire detection and control instruments and sprinkler systems.

In regard to activity standards in Australia, there is no mandatory qualification for activity providers.

As this is not a mandatory accreditation, we believe that this puts PGL in a favourable position to competitors who have not been independently assessed for activity safety.

Additionally, PGL is accredited by the Quality Tourism Framework (QTF) through the Australian Tourism Industry Council, signifying that we deliver a quality tourism experience. PGL is also accredited as a Camp and Adventure business under the same framework.

PGL staff will lead groups and instruct students on activity sessions.

Our winter day camp program ensures that you can drop your children off in the morning and pick them up again in the afternoon, giving them a full day of fun and excitement during their school holidays. You can choose from a single day, or opt for a 3-day package, or a 5-day package. All our day camp packages include morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
