PGL Little Canada Adventure Holidays and Summer Camps on Isle of Wight

Little Canada, the home of Wet and Wild!

Set in 48 acres of woodland on the banks of Wootton Creek, and with log cabin style accommodation, it would be easy to confuse Little Canada with the country from which it draws inspiration. Locations don’t come much better than this and we also have private access direct to the water from our seafront.

During a Multi Activity holiday at Little Canada you can expect to experience one or two of our amazing watersports activities however if you really want to make the best of this location then why not try our Wet & Wild holiday?

Please note details of our 2022 Specialist holidays will be available in early 2022.

Accommodation

Many of our log cabins have recently been updated and refurbished. Most rooms sleep 4–6 children and have their own bathroom. The cabins are grouped together in small villages. 8-10s usually stay in our cosy Woodland House, situated in the grounds with en-suite rooms.

Facilities

We have a fantastic range of activities including a low ropes course, abseiling towers, an archery range, giant swing and our very own creek for dragon boating and other watersports. We also use the beach, just a short walk away, for canoeing, kayaking and many of the activities on the Wet & Wild holiday. There are also two 10m climbing and abseiling walls, sports hall, tunnel trail and the mysterious Matrix!

Food

Fuel for adventure
To keep your children energised for their active PGL break our catering teams work hard to produce a menu jam-packed with nutritious family-friendly favourites to suit all appetites. This year we have made some improvements to bring you our best menu yet! View our sample menu here.

The BIG PGL breakfast - hot and cold options including a 'full English', toast, cereals and pastries.
Lighter tastier lunches - a pit-stop to prepare for a busy afternoon. Refuel with fresh sandwiches, soups, pasta or salads.
Delicious 'kids favourites' evening meals - crowd pleasing classics such as fish & chips, roast dinners and bangers & mash.

Our buffet style dining room means that children can ‘mix and match’ the items they love most and have unlimited access to our salad bar and fresh fruit. Our Group leaders are on hand to help and will look out for anyone who can’t find anything on the menu that they enjoy. If necessary our catering teams will be more than happy to prepare something special.

Allergies, intolerances and other dietary requirements
A vegetarian alternative can always be provided on all our holidays, and we can accommodate most special diets required on medical or religious grounds, just let us know when you book.

Keeping hydrated
Water, squash, tea and coffee are available with all meals and children are encouraged to refill their water bottles for regular use throughout the day. There are also water fountains available around the centre.
