Are the camps split by age groups?

We want your child to be comfortable when they’re at camp, which is why certain ages overlap, meaning a ‘primary school’ 11-year-old could join our 8-11 adventures, and your ‘secondary school’ 11-year-old could join our 11-13 adventures! For teenagers, our adventure camps for 13-16 year olds offer the perfect blend of discovery and fun.
