I think it is essential to ease your son or daughter into either going to an overnight camp or even having them embark on a global adventure through a travel camp. By having them learn early on how to live in communal settings and experiencing new friends and new experiences unlike where they are used to at home, it shows them that there is definitely more to life than being at home with mom, dad, and one’s collection of toys and video games.

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for your message. The residential camps have many 15 year olds. The biggest group is our teen option!
I’d be delighted to help in any other way.
Best regards,
Richard

I have been contacted by some Spanish friends. Does your holiday camp include language classes? Let me know if you do have a language group at your residential holiday camp and I will forward their details onto you.

Thanks - great site

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email. Your nights under the canvas sound splendid! At XUK in the summer we do have an option for camping but this is for a night or two over the course of the whole camp. In 2010 we will be offering a great option that I feel will be perfect for what you want Sam to experience. I’d be delighted to talk about this over the phone or email so please don’t hesitate to contact me (02089229739 or richard@xkeys.co.uk) and we can chat over all the options.
Best regards,
Richard

Hi Jen,
Thanks for your email. There will always be homesick children at any camp but the busier and happier they are the less chance of this happening. When a child is missing home (usually in the evening) usually some encouragment, a caring dorm leader and allowing them to call home and touch base is usually enough to make them feel better.
This is something that would be good to discuss with you as every child is different and we would want to see if there is a particular way you would prefer us to handle it. If you’d like to chat I’d be delighted to. I am available on 020 8922 9739 or richard@xkeys.co.uk

Hi,

I was wondering whether you did any outdoor camping at your residential camp. I was telling my son the other day about the wonderful nights under canvas I spent as a boy scout. They were great fun at the time, and I’d love Sam to experience it for himself, but now I’m in my forties my passion for holidays without all mod cons seems to have dwindled, so wondered if you offered anything?
