• Delicious Meals: Three hot, tasty and nutritious meals daily.
• Fun Evening Activities: Campfires, quizzes, discos and more to keep the fun going until bedtime.
• Comfy Accommodation: Newby Wiske Hall has futuristic ‘bunk pods’ with individual lighting and en suite bathrooms for a wonderful night’s sleep.

Each day, your child will take part in 4 to 5 epic activities, such as raft building, abseiling, climbing and more – with over 40 to enjoy!

Your child is in safe hands at PGL. We go above and beyond to protect the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our care, with everything we do built on our five protective pillars:

• Safe People: Colleagues are fully trained, DBS–checked, and continually assessed.
• Safe Places: All buildings are risk–assessed; we have segmented accommodation, secure perimeters and strict equipment standards.
• Safe Spaces: All-encompassing environments, language inclusivity, and SEND-trained staff.
• Safeguarding: Staff are trained in safeguarding, helping them to spot risks and act quickly.
• Safe Travels: All of our travel partners are vetted to make sure they have safety management systems in place, and we ensure travel is adaptable to the needs of all children.

Our flagship North Yorkshire centre is Newby Wiske Hall, located near Northallerton. It is easily accessible for families across the North of England looking for a high-quality school holiday camp. You can explore the full range of the centre’s facilities here.

Yes, we can cater for many dietary requirements at our PGL UK activity centres. We are able to deliver catering provision for dietary requirements as specified by culture, religion and medical concerns. We regularly provide meals for a wide variety of needs, including coeliac, diabetic, food allergies, vegetarian and vegan. You will be able to let us know about your child’s dietary requirements before travel. 

We know how important it is for kids to stay fuelled and full of energy for their adventures, which is why their three tasty meals a day are both nutritious and delicious. We serve a variety of tasty dishes designed to appeal to young appetites while ensuring they get all the goodness they need – so they can focus on having fun!

Of course! A PGL adventure camp wouldn’t be complete without evening fun such as discos, quizzes, campfire games, treats and more – the fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down!

Newby Wiske Hall in North Yorkshire has some of the best facilities across all of the PGL sites. Our bedrooms feature ground-breaking bunk pods with LED lighting and en-suite bathrooms – the perfect modern setting for children to unwind in after a hectic day of exhilarating activities.

Yes, we are registered to accept payment from all the major childcare voucher providers at our English centres, and we also accept payments from the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme. Learn more about how to book with PGL using Childcare Vouchers or the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme.

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 age group, and your ‘secondary school’ 11-year-old could join our 11-13 age group! For teenagers, our adventure camps for 13- 16-year-olds offer the perfect blend of discovery and fun.
