Tailored experiences for all ages
Our programmes are carefully designed to suit children from infancy to adolescence, recognising that each age group has unique needs and interests, and we’ve crafted our offerings accordingly. For our youngest guests, we provide gentle, nurturing environments that encourage exploration and early learning. Toddlers and young children enjoy activities that ignite creativity and build confidence.
As children grow, our programmes evolve to match their developing skills and curiosity. We offer more challenging and diverse activities for older children and teens, allowing them to expand their boundaries in safe, supervised settings. Each programme is staffed by experienced professionals who are passionate about child development and creating positive holiday experiences.
Combining fun, learning and care
At the heart of our children’s programmes is a commitment to blending enjoyment with education and attentive care. We believe holidays are perfect opportunities for children to learn new skills and make discoveries.
Our activities are designed to be both entertaining and enriching. Whether it’s a summer craft session that boosts creativity or another engaging pursuit, children are always gaining something valuable. Safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our staff are trained to provide the highest level of care, ensuring parents can relax knowing their children are in good hands.
We also focus on fostering social skills and friendships. Many of our activities encourage teamwork and communication, helping children build lasting connections with their peers.
PB summer programmes for children
Our summer programmes offer a diverse range of activities to keep children engaged and excited throughout their holiday. From sports to creative pursuits, there’s something for every interest.
Scallywags: non-stop summer fun
Scallywags is our action-packed summer programme for children aged 4-8. It’s designed to keep young ones active, engaged, and smiling from morning to evening. The programme includes a variety of activities such as tennis lessons, arts and crafts, swimming sessions, and cookery classes. Each day brings new adventures and opportunities to learn.
Our experienced staff ensure that all activities are safe and age-appropriate, adept at fostering a friendly, inclusive atmosphere where children can make new friends.
Beach adventures are a highlight for many Scallywags. Children get to explore the seaside, build sandcastles, and play beach games under careful supervision. Parents often tell us that their children return from Scallywags full of stories and eager for the next day’s activities.
TheZone: adventure for older kids
TheZone caters to children aged 8-11, offering a perfect blend of sports, water activities, and creative pursuits, designed for kids ready for more challenging and varied experiences. The programme emphasises teamwork and friendship-building, with many activities structured to encourage cooperation and communication among participants.
Water sports are a big part of TheZone. Children get to try activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkelling, always under the watchful eye of qualified instructors. On land, TheZone offers everything from team sports to drama workshops. The variety ensures that every child finds activities they love.
Our staff are trained to nurture individual talents while promoting group cohesion, creating a supportive environment for personal growth.
Adventure Academy: structured teen activities
The PB Adventure Academy is tailored for teens aged 12-16 who want a more structured summer programme. It serves as the perfect transition for those who have outgrown TheZone but still enjoy organised activities.
The Academy introduces teens to a wide range of sports and activities available at the resort. From water sports to land-based adventures, participants get to try it all. A key focus is on skill development. Whether it’s improving tennis technique, finessing their golf swing or learning to sail, teens are encouraged to set goals and work towards them.
The programme also includes social activities and team challenges, helping teens make friends and build confidence in social situations. Our staff act as mentors, guiding teens through new experiences while encouraging independence and responsible decision-making.
