Multi-Activity

Encouraging team building and leadership skills, our UK based Multi-Activity residential courses combine fun and personal development in a lively and supportive environment. We keep your pupils busy from breakfast to bedtime with a huge variety of land and water based adventure activities.

A Multi-Activity course is a structured and supervised learning programme varying in duration from 2 to 7 days.

Mornings and afternoons are each split into two sessions so that children can experience up to four different outdoor activities each day.

Our ethos is built on 'Challenge by Choice' - children are never pushed beyond their comfort zone, however our fully trained instructors have proven success in nurturing and supporting even the most apprehensive child.

Watch children flourish in new surroundings with new challenges!

He or she will assist with the smooth running of your course, offering the flexibility to support you as you prefer - including organising your group and liaising with all other PGL staff involved in your arrangements - all designed to take more pressure off your shoulders.
