Try Out Camp Information
A week spent in a summer camp with children from across the UK, spending time outside, making new friends, laughing, learning and growing, through having a lot of fun together, is what we’re all about! Children and parents report how our summer camps lead to growth in confidence and resilience for the children and a widening of opportunities through learning new skills. Children also report how much fun it has been - the “best week of my year” is a regular comment!
What activities will I do on Camp?
Our summer camps are packed with activities and we’re proudly tech free so children remain focused on their activities and socialise with the other campers. See an example camp day on the right!
Camps are full of activities, both indoor and out, for children aged 8-15 years including loads of games, crafts, exploring the countryside, den building, songs and stories around the campfire at night, plus much more.
Holding the camp at The Elms also gives us access to the extensive facilities that the school setting provides, including an on-site farm,, a heated indoor swimming pool, sports courts and extensive grounds.
How are children looked after?
Children attending camp are looked after by our Young Camp Leaders. These are all young adults who have completed our week long residential Young Camp Leader training programme. This is an intensive course that teaches our Young Leaders all the fun games, songs, activities and skills they need to lead an engaging and enjoyable camp. They also learn extensive safeguarding skills.
In addition to our Young Leaders, we have an extremely experienced team of Camp Directors and Assistant Camp Directors who are on hand to oversee the smooth running of the camp. There is also a cook and matron on site ensuring children are very well fed and have any of their medical needs attended to swiftly.

What do children eat on camp?
We have an experienced chef for the whole week who will prepare and cook nutritious food for all campers. There will be an experienced catering team, and three good meals a day with plenty of food. Parents will be asked to provide a packed lunch for the outward travel day, and the camp staff will provide one, where needed, for the return. Special diets can be managed.
Where do children sleep on camp?
Children will sleep in dormitories. Leaders will always be within earshot in case of need in the night. Bedtimes will be from 8.30 to 10 p.m. Parents may be asked to send bedlinen or sleeping bags.
