Ideas for summer courses/work/activities for DD18

8 replies

Bouledeneige · 10/03/2019 22:41

My DD has an extended summer holiday before starting University in the autumn. For varied reasons her friends are being flakey about travel - though its likely a holiday will come off. She would like to work for a period and potentially do a short course/work experience or something abroad. We've briefly looked at BUNAC summer camps and Art courses in Italy. Any other suggestions?

What about the NCS summer programme. We have some kids going. Not sure if its for 16+ or 18+

what about working for a company like eurocamp or canvas they pay for flights to campsite, free accommodation and get to use site facilities

Another one about to suggest NCS. PGL? Is your DD musical? There is no shortage of residential musical courses in the summer holidays...

She will be 19 by the summer (she's done an art foundation course) and I think she had the perception that NCS was for school kids. Is she wrong? She really wouldn't want to do anything with younger kids.

Eurocamp and Canvas are a good idea. Thanks!

CampAmerica or BUNAC. I did 4 fantastic summers with them.

EuroCamp. I didn't enjoy it, but lots do. I don't drink and there was a big drinking culture.

PGL. Never worked for them.

Bushcraft. Some love it, but I didn't find them nice to work for. Potentially a better earner than CampAmerica/BUNAC if that's a concern though.
