A government Inspector once called Colony Holidays ' the ideal first experience of living away from home - caring, safe, stimulating and great fu n'. Superweeks are held in boarding schools, conference centres, etc. which A.T.E. rents in holiday periods. There are between 25 and 70 children in any one Superweek. Each Superweek is run by a well-qualified Director, whose first concern is for the children's safety and welfare, as well as providing an exciting programme. There is also a full catering and domestic staff.
Food is good and plentiful.
Children are not asked to do chores other than keeping their own beds and possessions tidy. A month or so before each Superweek session, parents receive a full package of final details, including a suggested clothes list, suggested pocket money allowances, etc. At the 2001 Special Superweeks, in addition to all the activities and the great atmosphere of any Superweek, children with an interest in Maths , French , Choral Singing , Crafts , Performing Arts or Science and Inventing can improve their knowledge and skills in these areas while having a wonderful time. As ATE is non profit making, our costs can be kept as low as possible. These amounts are inclusive, covering all accomodation, supervision, activities, outings and escorted travel to and from the centres, Special Superweeks cost rather more in view of the specialist equipment and people needed to run them.
