A summary

Chase High HAF Camp (Secondary + Year 6 Leavers)

Our Chase High HAF Camp is designed exclusively for secondary school-aged young people and Year 6 leavers who want more independence, more choice, and a holiday experience that feels closer to a youth activity programme than a traditional holiday club.

Each day is built around a choose-your-activity model, giving participants the freedom to select from a wide range of structured sessions - all delivered in a safe, supportive environment led by experienced staff.

This isn’t about being told what to do all day - it’s about having the space to try new things, develop skills, meet friends, and take part in activities that actually interest you.

⚽️ What’s on offer

Across the week, participants can access a mix of high-energy and skill-based activities, including:

✔️ Multi-sport activities including basketball, dodgeball, racquet sports and team games

Cancellation policy

Multiple no-shows without prior written notice will result in a booking ban, therefore, please only book dates that your child/young adult will be able to attend, and are willing to attend.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
