this is why i think preppers make the best parents! always committed to teaching and encouraging their children to earn as many different skills as possible!

best of luck to your lad NR and great advice, something i'd definately send my kids to, when i have them xD

how much was it NR

how much was it NR

The brochure says £495 for a week, pretty much the same for L & E ( The best) PGL (2nd best but still great) Camp beaumont (3rd)

BUT being skint my wifey waits for the last minute offer or barters with em and we pay on average £350 for a full week including accomodation, all meals, all excusions, all extra tuition etc.
I look at it as an investment whilst our brats see it as the best holidays ever.

Forgot to mention guys, if there are specific skills you need to adress for your kids if you look around you can very often find specialised summer camps dealing with one subject. They may be DAY camps or RESIDENTIAL, I've seen camps for Computing skills, Film making, Canoeing, Camp Craft, Venture travel, Driving, Horse Riding, Motorcycling, Cooking, etc

Yes most of them do, oddly enough there is a high percentage of the kids from military families and farming familes, We see it more as an investment, We dont smoke, rarely drink, do go out very often, dont drive fancy cars, we like to put our effort into raising ickle survivalists with a broad base of skills.

Do you know that what it costs to keep one criminal chav in a childrens home for a week would send three good kids to a camp for a week.

[bigpaul]

it always costs more to house and keep 1 person with criminal intent than it does 1 law abiding person. the more someone kicks off the more they get spent on them, the quiet ones get nothing.

I went to PGL in Dorset. didn't have one of the greatest times, but that was due to the people who went.
although that put a downer on the whole thing, the activities were amazing.
I went with the National Citizen Service, so it only cost £50 (two weeks, including food travel etc.)
highly recommend it (if you can afford it)
