What we'll do
Your Child’s Favourite Outdoor Adventure is Back This Summer!** Forest Schools and Sports Camp at Rufford Abbey and Country Park** Koala Klubs is coming to **Rufford Abbey and Country Park** with our exciting **Bear Grylls–themed Summer Adventure Camp** — packed with outdoor challenges, sports, creative activities, team games and unforgettable summer fun. As part of the **HAF programme**, eligible children can attend **completely FREE**, with healthy meals and snacks included. Set within the fantastic outdoor surroundings of Rufford Abbey and Country Park, our camp gives children the chance to get active, build confidence, make new friends and enjoy a fun, structured holiday experience. Every day is different, with activities designed to keep children engaged, active and learning new skills from start to finish. **Ofsted Exemption and Quality Standards** Whilst this camp is Ofsted exempt, we follow the same policies, structures and high standards expected of outstanding-rated childcare. Children are supervised by experienced staff, supported through clear routines, safe ratios, risk assessments and well-planned activities. To meet Ofsted exemption requirements, the camp operates as two separate activity programmes: **Ages 5–7** Children aged 5–7 take part in an activity-based programme focused on supervised sports, arts and crafts, outdoor learning and Forest School-style adventures. Any care provided, such as registration, breaks, lunch and transitions, is incidental to the main activities. **Ages 8+** Children aged 8 and over follow a separate timetable with their own register, activity plan, staff deployment and supervision arrangements. This group does not routinely mix with the under-8 group. **Activities May Include** * Archery and target challenges * Camouflage and stealth missions * Den building and shelter construction * Navigation and survival skills * Knot tying and rope skills * Team challenges and obstacle courses * Bushcraft-style activities * Outdoor sports and games * Laser tag missions * Creative summer crafts * Water games and summer challenges * Team competitions, prizes and rewards …and plenty of surprises along the way! Our camp helps children develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and independence — all while having a brilliant time in a safe and supportive environment. Why Children Love Koala Klubs at Rufford Abbey and Country Park** * Fantastic outdoor setting for adventure activities * Friendly, experienced and caring staff * Safe, structured and exciting programme * Great mix of sports, creativity and adventure * Opportunities to make new friends * Confidence-building challenges * Something different every day **Camp Details** Location: Rufford Abbey and Country Park Programme: Bear Grylls–themed Summer Adventure Camp Time: Full-day provision Eligibility: HAF-funded places available for eligible children Meals: Healthy meals and snacks provided Spaces are limited and this venue is expected to fill quickly for the summer holidays. **Ready for a Summer Adventure?** If your child has loved Koala Klubs before, they are going to love what we have planned this summer — bigger challenges, new activities, outdoor adventures and plenty of summer fun.

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

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.
