Daily
On all our camps, children will need to bring:
- A packed lunch: Note that all our camps are a nut-free zone. Nursery is the only camp that has lunch provided.
- Snacks for morning and afternoon breaks and a refillable water bottle, labelled with your child’s name.
- Appropriate clothing for both indoor and outdoor activities to accommodate varying weather conditions.
- Hat and suncream: Please ensure your child has suncream applied before coming to camp on hot days.
- A pack of tissues: To promote hygiene with the ‘Catch it, Kill it, Bin it’ initiative.
- A swimming kit and a towel: If your child is part of the Adventure Camps and wishes to swim during the week, bring swimming kit on the first day
What Not to Bring:
- Mobile phones: Use of these is not permitted. If a child does bring a phone, it must stay in their bag.
- Equipment: We’ve got plenty!
- Money and valuables: This includes non-essential jewellery.
We understand that life is unpredictable and schedules can shift.
With this in mind, we offer free date changes for your booking up to 14 days prior to your scheduled visit, provided it’s within the same season and we have open spots.
Please note that any changes made less than 14 days before the desired change date will result in a £10 administration fee.
If you’ve reserved a full week, we can only transfer the entire week’s booking, unless you’re willing to cover the cost difference to divide it into individual days.
You can also cancel a booking or a portion of it up to 14 days before the start of your booking – we will reimburse all payments made, deducting 35% for the dates you intend to cancel. Regrettably, if cancellation occurs less than 14 days prior to the start of the booking, we can’t provide any refund.
Drop off is at 9 and pick up is at 4pm.
If you need longer hours, we offer an optional Extended Day Pass (EDP) where parents can drop off from 8:00am and collect until 6pm. EDP’s cost £10 per day (includes am and pm extended day) and can be added up to 24 hours in advance. Children with an EDP will enjoy supervised activities to keep them happy and entertained.
At our holiday camps, we prioritise grouping children with their peers of comparable ages. However, the exact groupings might differ based on the total number of campers we have. Generally, we group kids with an age difference of a few years, such as Year 1 and Year 2. Occasionally, due to the size of the groups and the required ratios, there may be a wider age mix.
To start, please sign in to your account and verify that all contact details, as well as information about your child or children, are correct and current. If you’re unable to find your booking confirmation email or if it doesn’t appear in your account, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
Kids are expected to carry their own lunch box, along with morning and afternoon snacks, and a reusable beverage container marked with their name. Our camps maintain a strict policy against any nut-based products.

Activities
At our Adventure Camps, we aim to offer a minimum of 2 – 3 swimming sessions each week.
Our swim sessions focus on confidence and water skills, giving children experience of a life-skill. Arm-bands/floats are provided for beginner swimmers. Each child’s swim ability will be assessed by the qualified swim teacher during the first session.
Bring a swimming kit including a towel. We recommend to bring it on the first day; you can check the group timetables at registration for set days for your child’s group.
Sometimes swimming may not be available due to external factors, such as pool maintenance but we will inform you of this in advance of attending camp.
Once your child is checked in, they will commence their adventure with various activity sessions. Each day the main activities start at 9.00 a.m.
Due to late bookings, weather conditions and changing numbers of children on camp, timetables are confirmed a week beforehand however please note these are subject to change and should only be used as a reference.
We’ll be outside as much as weather permits. Please ensure your child has clothing and shoes for both indoor and outdoor activities.
