Founded in 1957, PGL is the UK’s leading provider of activity courses and holidays for schools, colleges, youth groups and individual children and young people, with centres spread across the UK and France. In addition to adventure courses, we also operate a programme of cultural, language and sports tours for schools at centres in the UK and France. In winter, we also operate inclusive ski and sn

owboarding packages to well-known European resorts. PGL is widely recognised as the UK’s original and biggest operator of summer camps. In this context our name became known as “Parents Get Lost”, but we now also operate a programme of family holidays so that parents can come too!

Great things happen when children step outside their everyday routine and try something new.

That’s the heart of PGL’s REACH Framework. Each programme is designed to meet students where they are, helping them grow through supportive, exciting and memorable outdoor experiences. It’s all about giving young people the chance to discover what they can do - and enjoy every moment along the way.

Which REACH adventure programme is right for your group?

- Muti-activity - our classic adrenaline programme for Years 3-11
- PIONEER! - new experiences for first-time adventurers in Years 3-4
- MASTER! - problem-solving bushcraft-led activities for Year 5
- UNITE! - relationship-building challenges for Years 6-7, ideal for transition
- GROW! - character-building and leadership skills for Years 7-9
- THRIVE! - well-being boosting digital detox for Years 7-11

🥦 Fuel them for adventure! 🍎

At PGL, we know that active minds and bodies need the right fuel, and that starts with what’s on their plate.

Our mealtimes are all about balance, choice, and tasty options children actually enjoy! From fresh fruit and salad bars to nutritious hot meals, we make it easy for them to eat well while having the time of their lives.

Got dietary needs or allergies? No problem - we’ve got that covered too!

Geography teachers, this one’s for you!

Throughout June the Geographical Association encourages schools to take their geography students out of the classroom and into the field for The National Festival of Fieldwork.

At PGL, we offer real‑world learning where you can trade classrooms for coastlines on a trip that meets your curriculum requirements. There’s always some added adventure too, with exhilarating on-site activities.

It’s – an annual celebration to mark the impact volunteers make by contributing their time to worthy causes.

At PGL, we care about making a difference. We understand how much local charities and organisations value and benefit from having an extra pair of hands, that’s why we encourage our staff to take time away from their role to volunteer, not just this week but throughout the year.
