The best summer camps

A Camp Logan
If you love variety, Camp Logan could be for you. Teenagers can take part in two- or three-day hikes carrying the
tents you’ll sleep in as well as developing skills on the guitar, piano, drums, etc. Situated on the edge of a large lake far
from any town, it’s also the perfect place for windsurfing, canoeing and swimming.

B Wild West
Wild West is well-known for the three- and four-day hiking and camping trips it organises in the local mountains. You
can learn other languages here too, with German, French and Italian on offer. Stays are from one to five weeks and
they keep their groups small to make your experience extra special.

C Fun Camp
You can do everything here from developing acting ability to extreme activities like rock climbing and diving.
Although there are enough activities to allow you to do something different every day, you can also choose to spend
time doing what you want to do. Stays last from five days up to six weeks – you choose!

D Camp Goliath
With a minimum stay of ten days, you’re sure to get to know everyone well at Camp Goliath. Only 20km from the
towns of Handown and Grandon, the camp organises daily excursions to both. There are also plenty of water-based
activities to choose from and practical sessions like cookery. Like most camps, phones are not allowed!

E The Range
The Range is a great choice whether it’s daily sessions on the bike or in the kitchen you’re after. Whether you’re an
expert or a beginner doesn’t matter as the teachers there will help at any level. Those doing the drama sessions
provide some of the entertainment by regularly putting on a regular plays for other students.

F Fell’s Summer Camp

One of the few camps to allow phones, Fell’s also allows the hundreds of students who go there to develop their
cycling ability on the mountain-bike course, learn to play the guitar or swim and dive in the ocean, which is only 500m
away. Choose how long you stay, from just four days up to four weeks.

G Camp Rock
Camp Rock offers teenagers a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing the free use of mobiles between activities. If you’re
looking for dangerous activities or long camping trips, choose somewhere else! Here, students can learn several
different languages or just spend part of the day reading. There are regular visits to the shops, cafés and museums of
nearby Frankham and Lisbury.

H Trenton River
Unlike most camps, which have up to 500 students and any one time, Trenton River allows just fifty. If the numbers
are limited, the activities are not and even on a long stay you’d be able to choose something different daily. Some
activities, such as surfing, take place at the beach, which is only a five-minute walk away
