Summer Holiday Camp – Fun, Friends & Adventure!
Following the great success of our previous Camps, we’re excited to welcome children back for another fantastic holiday experience at our Summer Camp. Building on the same fun, energy, and well-organised programme that families loved before, this camp offers children a safe and exciting environment filled with activities, new friendships, and memorable experiences.
Children are placed into age-based groups (Meerkats, Leopards, Tigers, Zebras, Giraffes, Hippos, Elephants, and Lions) so they can enjoy activities suited to their age while building confidence and friendships.
Each day is packed with a variety of engaging activities, including:
✅ Sports & Active Games – Football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, table tennis, rounders, dodgeball, and space hoppers races. All sessions are coached by our experienced staff.
✅ Swimming Sessions – Competent swimmers will have the opportunity to take part in supervised swimming sessions as part of the programme. Swim Safety rules apply.
✅ Creative Activities – Arts & crafts, Play-Doh modelling, and fun group challenges such as Pictionary Relay.
✅ Play & Exploration – use of our new Soft Play, LEGO building, bouncy castle fun, and classic group games like Duck Duck Goose and Pass the Message.
✅ Outdoor Play – Daily outdoor playtime and team activities to keep children active and social.
✅ Healthy Eating Workshops– Delivered by Xplore, Live Well Newham. For more information or to refer your child to a targeted programme visit

✅ Breaks & Meals – Children enjoy a fruit break during the day and a cold lunch provided for eligible children, giving them the energy they need for all the fun activities.
✅ Wind-Down Time – The day finishes with a relaxing movie session or free play.
Led by experienced and friendly staff, our camp provides a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can stay active, try new things, and create lasting memories during the Easter holidays.
