Adventure Summer Camp July & August 2021
If your 10-16 year old children are looking for outdoor adventure during the summer holidays, look no further than the Christ College Summer Adventure Camps.
Making the most of the mountains, rivers and woodland of the Brecon Beacons, children aged 10-16 will have the choice of a range of activities such as high ropes & zip wire, mega stand up paddle boarding, archery combat, kayaking, raft building, gorge walking, coasteering at the Gower, tubing, multi-sports and even some axe throwing!
This is an opportunity for children to have fun, build new friendships and enjoy a great sense of achievement as they explore beautiful places and harness their spirt of adventure.
If you are looking for your children to enjoy some quality time outdoors with other young people, then this camp will be ideal.
Based at Christ College, we make full use of the surrounding areas nearby. Children will have the best of both worlds: adventure during the day, an evening programme of fun and relaxation at night back at the boarding house.
Activities are gently challenging and aimed at encouraging teamwork and having fun. As a parent you are offered complete reassurance that your children are enjoying themselves in the great outdoors. As children, you will have fun and a great adventure!
Camps are weekly residential ( 6 days / 5 nights ) or you may prefer to join for the week, returning home at the end of each day ( 6 days ). We are also offering a daily option if that suits you most.
Please see an example timetable below.
Booking details may be found below by choosing the camp date you would like to book. If you would like to know more about the Summer Camp please email: summercamp@christcollegebrecon.com
