Explorer International Kids' and Teens' Camps

It’s a challenge to be away from your phone, so potentially for the first day you might? But generally from the second day onwards you’ll be too busy socially to even think about your screens at home. 

Some of our campers do, however many don’t and still create unforgettable friendships with those around them. Often we connect our teens with each other before the camp begins to start the friendships before even arriving. But even on camp our #1 targer it building togetherness so groups are always a really tight, caring and positive envronment to be in. 

No. While we’re in the outdoors and encouraging our younger campers to be active, we also understand the need for breaks and to enjoy an activity rather than being too physcial and demanding. 

Due to our small group size, we’re able to give a lot of personal support and can adjust activities to suit our teens. However, if there is something that you simply can’t do then that’s OK because we believe in choice. Both Down Time, and Afternoon Choice sessions are completely choice so it’s up to tweens what they do. 

Absolutely. As much as our Discoverers love getting involved with everything, naturally it’s challenging to keep up with the rest of the camp so they’ve given more opportunities to take a break away from it all. 

While we’re definitely an outdoor type of camp, it certainly isn’t our only focus. It’s possible to cook, paint, do pottery, knit, weave, build castles, create movies, perform a play … there are so many things to do on camp that aren’t sports related so you’ll never get bored! 

Everyone needs space and we certainly encourage our teens to take some time to themselves whether it’s in their house, outside in our ‘Chillout Area’, or even down by the lake. It’s also possible for you to present activities to our team and they will help you do it … with your help and planning of course. 

Each Discoverer group has two staff members for every activity. A Counselor and an Assistant Counselor. This means Discoverers have a child to staff ratio of 4:1 BEFORE we add the Assistant Director who also often helps out. 

Make sure you check out the Camp Life page as you can see it all there, but it’s really a luxurious place to stay and not your normal summer accmmodation at a kids’ camp. Fully air-conditioned. Modern facilities. Huge outdoor covered terrace. It has it all really. 

Missing home is a really normal part of camp and actually an essential part of growing up. Our incredible team is trained extensively in approaches at how to create a truly warm and welcoming environment on camp so that scuh feelings about home are usually quite short, and also how to react when it comes up. So, you’re in safe hands. Of course, if there is a need to speak with home we can arrange it whether it’s about writing a letter home or sending a video or even calling, we’re there to help and support you.
