Hi, today we sadly completed our final session of your splendid archery course at your outdoor centre & I would just like to thank all that were involved with the ''Old Farts Archery'' ( My name for it not yours ) & hope that we were not too much trouble as I know that when we older 'Kids' get together we can be a bit of a handful. Again we have all learned a lot from you instruction & had fun in the process which has in turn inspired us again to continue practicing with our own equipment outside of your sessions & hopefully we will improve & build on our skills. On a personnel note I have found the sessions very therapeutic & totally immersing which is just what I needed after suffering major surgery for cancer, so thank you again for that. I do hope that you will be putting on some more sessions in the near future as, & I am sure that I can speak for the others who attended we all benefitted from it both mentally & physically & had a lot of laughs along the way. Thanks for putting up with me/us.....Flug

Flug, it’s been an absolute pleasure having you all here for the archery sessions! You’ve certainly left your mark on us, and I can safely say you’ve been no trouble at all, quite the opposite!

It’s brilliant to hear how much you’ve all got out of the sessions, both in terms of learning new skills and the wider benefits. Thank you for sharing your personal experience, too. It means a lot to know the sessions have had such a positive impact, and that’s exactly the sort of thing that makes it all worthwhile.

We’ll do everything we can to make sure we can run more sessions like this in the future. In the meantime, best of luck with building your own archery targets! Let us know how you get on, and hopefully we can get a date in the diary for a match: Porthpean staff vs the Old Farts!

Thanks again to you all for making the sessions so enjoyable. Keep those arrows flying straight!

Parents sent me to Camp Cornwall in 1979 (assuming this is still the same one). Standout activities that I recall were sea kayaking, beach capture the flag and camping on Bondmin Moor. I’m sure I did lots of other stuff but it’s been almost 50 years. One of my last childhood memories of England before moving to Oklahoma.

Camp Cornwall would be an amazing place to spend your summer/your child’s summer. The place provides you with food, shelter, bedding, toilets and showers. I guarantee you that you will have the most phenomenal time you've ever experienced.

This is now the third summer that my daughter has been going to Camp Cornwall and this has been the best year yet! She loves all of the activities, especially the time at the beach. The staff are all amazing and are so great with the kids. This year she even did a 2 night residential in addition to our usual day camp bookings and loved it so much that she’s already asking to do a 5 night camp next year. We’re so incredibly lucky that we have this virtually on our doorstep. She’s made new friends who live locally and also further afield and has had the best summer holiday!

My 11 year old loved the 2 night camp! Wasn't sure how it would go, as she is very picky eater and an AuDHder, but she loved the food and felt very comfortable. She was well looked after and offered a fun alternative activity on an afternoon where she was feeling too tired/ overwhelmed to participate in the group planned activity. Would recommend and we would definitely book again!

Amazing day camps. Activities are so good and my child loved them all plus the food. So we tried a 2 night camp. Epic is what my son said when I collected him. Daily updates with photos for parents, organised so well. Such an amazing place and all the staff that work so hard are awesome too. Thank you.

An exceptional summer camp! I took my daughter and a friend recently to this summer camp in Porthpean, from abroad. As a parent, making a trip like this can bring up many doubts, but it was worth every single bit, and I thoroughly enjoyed the local views, the travel, and the relaxed lifestyle! The experience was exceptional from start to finish. The monitors were outstanding—professional, energetic, and incredibly caring making them feel like at home from the first minute. The girls loved the varied meals and enjoyed learning about British food like Cornish pasties and hash browns, which we don't have back home. The activities were fantastic! among others archery, canoeing, and the ropes course, along with great games that helped them build strong friendships. Accommodation-wise, they were thrilled with the sleeping tents, which were comfortable and spacious. Thank you for giving the girls unforgettable days. If you are a parent traveling from abroad or a local with doubts, I highly recommend this camp!

My twins, who are almost 9, did 3 days at Camp Cornwall this year - just day camps, not overnight, and they LOVED it! They were nervous on arrival, which is understandable, but the camp leaders were super friendly and helped coax them in. They go to do activities that we would never do as a family and formed some new friendships too. We will definitely book again! Thank you and well done Camp Cornwall team!

Really great location, excellent staff. They were so friendly and helpful, the food was good and the tents were spacious. Activities were standard for PGL, but had an excellent day of watersports on the sea. It was very hot when I went, so the walks to the beach, bushcraft area and town were quite hard, but instructors took great care of us. Showers could have been a bit nicer and water supply wasn't fantastic but they were decent for a campsite. General atmosphere was amazing-I loved the silent disco.

We had a fantastic stay with our Y5/6 class. The children were really encouraged to try new things and the staff were brilliant with supporting them to be resilient. The activities are engaging and suitable for a range of ages and timings were well planned. The food was varied and well received by all.
