> Blog: Trips that help you to reconnect with your family in 2022

In the fast-paced world that we live in, it's more important than ever to take some time out and reconnect with your family. What better way to do that than by going on a fun family activity holiday?

The UK is home to some great destinations; there's always something for everyone, whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush or something more relaxing. So pack your bags and get ready to start making lasting memories with your loved ones to cherish.

Disconnect with technology and reconnect with your loved ones

Turning off your phone and starting to enjoy spending quality time with your family is a fulfilling experience. By disconnecting from technology, you give yourself the opportunity to reconnect with your loved ones on a deeper, more meaningful level.  

In doing so, you'll have the time to create lasting memories, but you'll also have the chance to connect with your loved ones in a way that you may not have been able to do before.

Whether your children are teenagers or younger children, encouraging them to disconnect from their screens will have a long-lasting impact and reinforce the importance of quality family time.

Fun activities for all ages to try

Activity holidays are also a great way to get everyone away from their screens and technology, which can be refreshing for everyone. There are plenty of different activities that you can enjoy as a family, whether you're looking for something adventurous or more relaxed. Here are some of our favourites:

Aeroball

A cross between trampolining and volleyball, this is an excellent activity for both kids and adults. It's a great way to get the whole family moving and laughing together.

Climbing

If you're looking for an adrenaline-fuelled activity, look no further than climbing. There are plenty of climbing walls and centres around the UK, so you'll find one near you. At PGL, our activity centres have fantastic climbing facilities perfect for children and adults of all abilities. 

Abseiling

Another great activity for an adrenaline fix, abseiling, is a perfect way to get outside and explore some of the UK's stunning scenery.

Archery

A classic and challenging activity that's perfect for family fun is archery. It's such a great way to teach your children patience, resilience and focus while encouraging friendly competition and the importance of sportsmanship.

Beach walks

One of the best things about living in the UK is that we have access to some of the most scenic beaches. Why not take advantage of this and go for a relaxing walk along the coastline with your family? 

Our family adventure centres Bawdsey Manor in Suffolk and Barton Hall in Devon have beautiful coastal walks for you and your family to explore. 

Buggy building

This is an excellent activity for families with younger children. Buggy building involves designing and building your own buggy, which can then be used to explore the great outdoors. It's a fun and creative way to spend some time together as a family whilst taking in the scenery and discovering their surroundings. 

Canoeing

If you're looking to explore some of the stunning waterways in the UK, canoeing is a great way to do it. It's also a fantastic workout for the whole family.

Dry Ski Slopes

Dry ski slopes are a great way for families to have fun together. They're also the perfect activity for beginners, offering a fun and safe environment to learn how to ski or snowboard.

Whether you're an experienced skier or a complete novice, when you book a trip at Barton Hall in Devon, you can also book onto our dry ski slope; this activity can also be enjoyed at any time of the year.
