Camp QE

Camp QE Childcare Vouchers Accepted. Themed activity camps
MINIS: 3yo +
JUNIORS: School age Year 1-7
SENIORS: Year 7-11
ALL school holidays.

Your child will be part of a 'coloured' team (Yellow, Purple, Blue, Green, Red, & Black) depending on their age and ability. They will be looked after by dedicated Team Leaders who will support them throughout all the activities, working to gain points for a week long challenge. Our activities are designed to engage all children regardless of age or ability, giving every child and team the chance for success against each other. We always end the week with our amazing Pool Party, followed by an end of the week disco in our dedicated activity centre. Our staffing ratios are high to ensure your child gets sufficient attention. The Team Leaders are dedicated to their small group to really give focus and attention to their overall experience at our camps. Our facilities are some of the best in the country and allow us to design creative, unique and exciting activities that you will not experience anywhere else.

Wow... what a summer we've had!

An incredible 13 whole weeks of Camp QE Minis, and what a blast it's been!

From Forest School adventures and endless games of hide-and-seek, to cooking up a storm in the kitchen, making smoothies and pizzas, and of course our famous, much-loved pool parties and slip 'n' slides, there has never been a dull moment. Every day has been packed with fun, laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories.

And just like that, our summer comes to an end as our little campers get some well-deserved rest before heading back to school next week.

A huge thank you and shout-out to our amazing team, whose energy, dedication, and care have helped create such a fantastic experience for every child who has walked through our doors over the last 13 weeks. We couldn't have done it without you!👏🏻

Now it's time to start planning all the spooky fun that awaits us for October Half Term... and bookings are already open! 🎃👻🍂
