Programs and prices, tuition fees in Summer camp PGL Little Canada
Little Canada Camp, like the rest of the PGL network, accepts children from all over the world, although about 90% of holidaymakers are traditionally British. The summer entertainment program does not provide for English lessons: language skills are taught unobtrusively, in a free, friendly environment during games, competitions, sports or crafts.
- Multi-activity (7/4/3 nights - 7-16 years)
The most popular and to some extent classical is the multi-activity program: these are diverse and interesting classes for those students who want to try everything at once. The program includes team games, trampoline jumping, archery or rifles, fencing, rock climbing, cycling, orienteering, rope running, etc. Multi-activities can form the basis of the course, and serve as an addition to any other program - in any case, the course will not allow children to get bored.
- Mission Spy (7-13 years)
6 days of fascinating multi-activities and the theory of espionage are offered to international students. Spy tricks, James Bond's secrets and the most incredible tasks and missions are aimed at those who are not afraid of difficulties and are as confident as possible! Students will review and identify fingerprints, learn the system of signals and coding, learn to keep track of, develop dexterity and attentiveness.
- Wet and Wild (10-16 years)
The multi-activites are organized in the morning, the second half is devoted to fun on the water: water skiing, wakeboard, boat, canoe, kayaking etc. The program can be made by students who have never tried such a sport (necessarily the ability to swim).
