Children are grouped mainly in to age appropriate groups for certain activities. If siblings desire to be kept together please speak to the Camp Director on the first morning of camp.

It is absolutely fine that children come to camp on their own not knowing anyone. We have children attend from different schools all across the county, they are encouraged to make friends and include everyone in all activities.
We actually run a 'Make a Mate' Monday where everyone gets to meet everyone else and learn each others names.

We are registered with Ofsted and all of our coaches hold the appropriate qualifications to deliver such activities on our camps.

Each coach also holds a current CRB/BDS check which is inspected and recorded.

They are also not only employed for their qualifications but aslo thier infectious personalities and abilities to get the most out of each and every child on camp.

Each of our sites has its own Ofsted Registration number. You can search each location here:

We are registered on Ofsted's Voluntary part of the Childcare Register. If you would like to know more about the registration process and what is required please follow this link
