Travellers looking for an out-of-the-ordinary holiday might want to consider one of the camps listed by Travel + Leisure magazine as being some of the quirkiest in the world.

These camps allow holidaymakers to mix leisure with learning a new skill and include the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, which takes place across New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and London and teaches enrollers just how to go about being a rock superstar.

If you want to get back to nature, why not head to the Elephant Mahout Training Four Seasons Tented Camp in Thailand, which gives instruction on the best way to look after elephants?

You could also travel to California to learn the art of creating the perfect tipple at the Wine-Making Camp, or even fly to Venice to get to grips with being a gondolier at the Hilton Molino Stucky.

"Camp isn't just for kids anymore. In a hectic world, it offers an oasis, with opportunities for learning in a fun environment," Peg Smith of the American Camp Association told Travel + Leisure.

"Many adults find a camp vacation to be more rewarding than a week at a resort."
