SUMMER CAMPS In A NUTSHELL
Run during Easter, the May bank holiday, throughout August and over the October half term, our Summer Camps offer an exciting experience for families, and unaccompanied children from 11 years old, in a range of adventurous outdoor activities. We welcome children under 11 too - you'll just need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
If you are a family or a few families with 6 or more people in your group then you can come at any time of the year, to find out more about a tailor made programme for your own group please see the Groups, Clubs, Families and Friends information.
we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here’
Why are we different?
We are different because we are an independent centre that keeps its numbers low to ensure that the quality stays high. We provide adventure both on-site and off-site at our carefully selected locations. Whether it's scrambling over the rocks at Hartland or paddling along the River Torridge, you know that you will be in safe hands with our experienced and professional instructors whilst on your Summer Camp.
Our instructors are all outdoor professionals with a wide range of experience and qualifications, so you can be sure that you will be looked after and made to feel at home. But just as important, our instructors are also keen surfers, kayakers and climbers too and love sharing their passion and the fun they have being in the great outdoors.
The activities are just one part of the experience - staying residentially on your Summer Camp, you can be sure that you will be truly looked after with comfortable rooms, great healthy food and some one available at any time, day or night.
Working in small groups of up to 8 with an instructor, you will have an action packed time with Skern, make new friends and learn new skills.

to do all activities without being pushy’ Summer Camp 2011
