Adventure for all ages at Little Canada
We’ve learned that children get the most from their PGL adventure when they’re with kids their own age, which is why at Little Canada we split our kids’ camps into three main age groups. Not only do children feel more confident and relaxed around same-age peers, it means their adventure will be perfectly tailored to suit their ability, offering age-appropriate excitement, challenges and activities to provide maximum enjoyment from their Little Canada holiday.
Our overlapping age ranges give you the option to choose the best group for your child if they are sitting at the upper/lower age limit.
Which Little Canada adventure will you choose?
From dipping your toe into a short and sweet DISCOVER! Adventure, diving into the full multi-activity experience with an EXPLORE! Adventure or trying something extraordinary with an TRAILBLAZE! Adventure specialist interest camp – there’s something for everyone at PGL Little Canada.

At PGL it is safety first, always. We go above and beyond to ensure every young person is in safe hands at all times.
Everything we do is built on five protective pillars:
Safe People All our people are rigorously selected for their capabilities, DBS checked, fully trained and continually assessed to ensure they meet the highest safety standards possible.
Safe Places Our sites and buildings are managed to reduce all possible risk before any child arrives, including segmented accommodation, secure perimeters and stringent equipment standards. Our English sites are registered, governed and regularly inspected by OFSTED.
Safe Spaces Every child is different, so to make our environments as encompassing as possible every colleague is SEND trained. We offer language inclusivity and over-and above access for all. We also operate a zero-tolerance policy on illegal practices, prohibited items and non-compliance with our behaviour expectations.
Safeguarding Trained to act as ‘first-responders’ to safeguarding red flags, PGL colleagues are versed in spotting risks (across mental health, self-harm, sexual and physical wellbeing) and acting quickly to escalate any concerns or stop harmful behaviour.
Safe Travels Our escorted travel service is offered to enable young people to travel further afield in a safe and supported manner. We also aim to ensure travel provision is adaptable to the needs of every child.
