Richard's PGL Adventure 2024
"Are we nearly there yet?"
Apparently at age 14 this is still a valid question as we approach Newby Wiske Hall in North Yorkshire - Richard's home for seven nights with PGL. A two hour drive from our home town of Sheffield, Newby Wiske Hall is one of twelve PGL locations in the UK. It's a beautiful, enormous, historic country manor which used to be North Yorkshire's police HQ and has now been converted for PGL to host Kids' adventure camps for 8-16 year olds in the school holidays.
Rich was super-excited to arrive and check out his accommodation:
"The bedroom, which we called base-camp, was immaculate and modern. There's an activities room, gift shop and loads of space to relax. It was really comfy and I felt at home very quickly."
Among the activities, of which there were at least twenty during the week's stay, Richard's favourite were the water activities on the lake.
"I loved the paddle boarding and inflatable aqua-park. Me and my camp-mates were soaked!"
On PGL camp, all meals are included - breakfast, lunch and dinner, with breakfast being the best bit.
"For breakfast I had a fry up and cereal. Amazing!"
During the daytime, phones were off-limits but the activities kept Rich busy and he didn't miss his tech at all. In fact, we've noticed a distinct change in his tech-behaviour since he got home. He's been energetic and more interested in outdoors fun.
So, what does a 'Day in the life of a PGL camper' look like? Here's a day from Richard's holiday:
"We got up quite early, about 8am and got ready for breakfast. I was sharing a room with my new pal David. Once we were dressed we went for breakfast - a full English buffet and cereal. It was like a hotel breakfast. In the morning we went canoeing and paddle boarding and then we stopped for a bite to eat at lunchtime. In the afternoon we did archery and then we had a huge dinner in the dining room. Every day was a real laugh and I tried so many new things."
So, in summary, PGL is a fantastic, healthy adventure-filled break for kids. Highly recommended.

The detail that phones were off-limits yet Rich didn't miss them says so much—real proof that the right activities can pull kids away from screens naturally. I also ended up opening Tonys Fresh Market weekly ad afterward because it carries the same thread a little further.
I had to check Jai Club login information because I wasn't immediately sure which details were needed to access the account. After going through the available instructions, the process made more sense. I think login guides are most helpful when they also mention simple issues like entering the wrong details or having trouble accessing an account. Those are the little things that can save a user some frustration.
