Our Jewish summer camps are more than just a place to have fun; they’re a home away from home, where campers can connect, make new friends, strengthen their skills, and explore in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Every day is filled with excitement and adventure. From activities like climbing and canoeing to archery and fencing, there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Just let us know how you’d like to customise your schedule and which activities are most important to you, and we’ll strive to accommodate your preferences.
Once your group arrives, we take care of everything else: accommodation, meals, equipment, and activities – it’s all arranged by us. Plus, you’ll be welcomed by your very own PGL ‘Groupie’ upon arrival at our centre and they’ll be there to assist you every step of the way.

Activities
Our varied programmes offer over 40 exhilarating activities spanning land, water and sky, your Jewish Faith Group is in for an unforgettable journey of excitement and discovery.
Abseiling
The tower is over 10 metres high. The task – to walk backwards off the top, gradually working back towards ground level, suspended only on a rope. It’s all about trust, courage and confidence. It’s also a very dynamic way to learn calculating and controlling risk. Some children deal with heights more easily than others, but the support and encouragement of the rest of the group is important for each individual’s success and will help strengthen peer relationships.
Ambush
If you love hide and seek, you’ll adore Ambush which takes this popular group game and ramps it up an extra notch! After sundown your group will split into small teams, with one team hiding within the centre grounds, leaving a trail for their competitors to follow. Great for developing strategic and team building skills. Ambush is usually run in the dark, and torches are advised. Available September to March
