How much does it cost for non-HAF-eligible children and how do I book?
We offer two types of places:
- HAF-eligible places : These are free for children who qualify under the Holiday Activities & Food Programme (HAF) scheme.
- Paid places : Our camp rates are £25 per day or £18 half day. We do offer a 10% Sibling discount of your total booking.
Booking is easy: you can use our online booking system to secure your child’s place.
What happens during a typical day (sports, arts & crafts, meals)?
Each day is filled with varied, fun and structured activities:
- We offer a mix of multi-sport sessions (football, cricket, tennis, tag games, athletics, etc.) and arts & crafts workshops such as painting, lego building, clay modelling, paper airplanes etc. throughout the day.
- We keep children active, engaged and challenged, while also giving them choices so they can follow their favourite activities.
The environment is safe, professional and supervised by experienced staff and coaches.
Do you cater for children with additional needs/SEND and how can I tell you about this?
Yes — we aim to be fully inclusive. If your child has special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) or requires extra support, please let us know at the time of booking. We will work with you to arrange suitable adjustments (for example, higher staff ratio, specialist equipment, 1:1 support) so that your child can participate fully and safely. We are committed to providing a welcoming environment for all children.

Please send your child with:
- Comfortable sports clothes and trainers suitable for both indoor and outdoor activities
- A waterproof jacket in case we use outdoor areas
- A water bottle (we encourage hydration throughout the day)
- Any required medication (clearly labelled) and inform us at booking
