Can anyone recomend a site with activities nearby that would interest teenage boys - 14 & 17?

They enjoy a bit of ourtdoor swimming but wondered if anyone had any other ideas or had had any good holidays with teenagers?

There is a site in Devon called Dart Valley lesiure(I think) it rather on the expensive side but its got all the activities boys of that age would love, I want to take my boys but money is an issue. Have a look in the search section for dart valley.

Here you go I got the name slightly wrong http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1266

Have to agree with the previous poster Lynabint - definitely France for teenagers. France is a place which really provides facilities for teenagers, and my two sons grew up with French sites (zip wires, death slides, tree houses, bungee jumping, canyoning, canoeing, archery, teen sleep overs and campfires in the woods, music nights, and all sorts - mostly free on site, or for a (very) small fee).  Think about it -there  are some fantastic sites out there for kids, and there will be so many others there, that you''ll hardly see your own kids for a fortnight.

hmm, we have just got back after a weekend we chose for 4 reasons

1- the bank holiday

2- the weather

3- the new tent turning up

4- (and most important) DD aged 17 was at a shooting camp with cadets!!

much more fun withjust the younger ones, no strops to have to worry about lol!

This is a group of 4 parks in North Devon, between them there are lots of things for the whole family to do, there is a bus you can catch (small fee) which travels between the 4 sites and the beach. 1 of the parks is tents only, they have clubs and indoor & outdoor pools along with other activities - ie fishing on one, golf on another etc

Thanks for your replies! Will certainly check these out and see what the boys think!

cheers!
