ATE Superweeks

Founded in 1997, and with a heritage dating back to the 1960s, ATE are specialists in education and play. We believe that life needs more play, and so everything we do will always have fun at its heart.

ATE was created as a successor to Colony Holidays and, like our predecessor, we run play-based, community-driven summer camps, and training courses for the staff that run them. We also run residential trips for schools and other groups, and run training and one-off events for people who want more play in their professional or personal lives.

More broadly, we consider ourselves ambassadors and champions of play. We are on a mission to increase playfulness in Britain, for children and adults alike. We want to change the way grown-ups feel the place of play in their own lives, and in the lives of children.

We think it’s simple…life needs play.
