Inspiring in so many ways

A PGL Multi-Activity course offers multiple challenges, personal triumphs, learning experiences, achievements and many exhilarating ways to have fun.

Watch your group learn to work together, support and encourage each other in order to succeed.

NEW for Autumn 2023 - find out more about our SPRINT! Multi-Activity programme here.

Our adventure activities are all about improving motivation, raising aspirations and strengthening friendships, so at the end of your stay you'll take home memories of a trip that made a difference.

Activities

Wet or dry, low or high?

We’ve got adventures on land and water;
challenges which draw on personal courage;
activities where they’ll need a head for heights;
experiences to develop teamwork, cooperation and leadership.

All taught by instructors who love to inspire, challenge, build confidence, enable success and encourage development.

There’ll be challenging activity sessions each day to keep everyone engaged.

Watch the thrill seekers on the zip wire, see who reaches the top of Jacob’s ladder first, help your group on a raft-building challenge.

At the end of your outdoor, action-packed day, there’s still more to look forward to. We run an evening programme of your choice – it’s the PGL way to unwind and round off the day.
