Each morning and afternoon you met your Groupie in the Activity Zone and they handed you over to an instructor. We were put into groups of about 12 and each Groupie was responsible for 5 groups. The majority of the activities were done in ... more

PGL Adventure Holidays: PGL - Not Parents Get Lost any more (1481 words)

PGL may affectionately be known as Parents Get Lost but these days parents can go too. When my daughter asked if we could go to PGL for our summer break I told her it was defeating the object of us having time away together as she would have to go on her own. She persuaded me to look into it further as I discovered that at certain times of the year families can have a holiday together. We booked a 4 night break (the longest they did at the time) at Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire. ARRIVAL On arrival we were directed to an area to park our cars and then to the booking-in area. This was quick and efficient and we were soon settling into our room. We had a ... Read the complete review

Don't the summer holidays seem to last a long, long time? Those six weeks drag on, and on. I used to get very fed up (I still do actually) with all that time and nothing to do. The initial excitement at not having to go to school quickly wears off, and the realisation that you have no money and everyone else you know is swanning off to Florida or Italy can be hard to take. Kids get fed up, bored, and spend days in front of the telly or hanging around the streets getting up to mischief. Tired parents are annoyed at their lazy, ungrateful children. Things are reaching crisis point.. There is a solution. Pack your brats off to summer camp. It's relatively ... Read the complete review
