I was impressed with the sense of community spirit engendered, and the emphasis on REAL activities and on using the imagination.

The origins of ATE

The Active Training and Education Trust was founded in 1996, as a successor body to the Council for Colony Holidays for Schoolchildren, which provided residential holidays for many thousands of children between 1965 and 1983. ATE was formed by a group of people who had worked with Colony Holidays and who believed strongly in the potential benefits to children and young people of an imaginative, creative and well-run system of residential holidays where people from all schools and backgrounds could meet. ATE was established as an Educational Trust, and it is supported by a Governing Council of representatives from most major educational Associations.

He had such a great time, he was so happy and made so many friends. He talked all the way home, raved about the food, and sang all the songs he had learned. He was calm and polite and relaxed. I really was amazed at the difference in him.
