Overview
Active Travel Camps (ATC) is an international residential summer camp for 11 – 16-year-olds, taking guests on a whistlestop through some of France’s most daring and beautiful adventure destinations. ATC aims to nurture personal growth, develop leadership skills and encourage a positive approach to health and wellbeing.
The ATC programme is a great way for young people to form lasting friendships with like-minded peers as they climb, canoe and explore some truly spectacular places.
Accommodation
All the accommodation across the three ATC destinations will provide children with a high level of comfort. Additional leisure facilities will also be available for your child to enjoy during free time in the evenings, including swimming pools. Your child will be encouraged to be self responsible during their ATC experience, so tasks such as packing in between destinations* and preparing overnight bags for camping days will be their responsibility.
Your child will share their sleeping dorms or rooms with a maximum of four other children. Boys and girls will be kept separate and a night warden will be on duty during sleep hours to ensure that children stay in their rooms.

As Leader of Expeditions at a prestigious International school I chose Phil and his company to accompany 50 students and staff down the Ardeche. We were so pleased with the organisation, the humour and professionalism of the group we decided to make it an annual trip each time with a different group of students. Each time we were very happy and can highly recommend Phil and his organisation.
Our Year 6’s (11 year olds) enjoyed the very popular annual adventure / cultural camps led by Phil and his team. I have always had every confidence, not only in Phil’s care, enthusiasm and attention to detail but also the training, professionalism and loyalty of his staff who showed a natural empathy with the children.
Over the last twelve years, Phil and his team of instructors have provided a “once-in-a-lifetime” expérience” to my pupils. Year after year, new groups came back to West London from the Ardeche to share the most amazing stories with the school community about their week-long outdoor adventure. The exceptional quality of programmes combined with high-quality pedagogy Phil has offered our school has always been exceptional. His camps have equipped our young people with skills for life and has instilled in them a love of the great outdoors. I cannot wait to discover Active Travel Camp.
