We welcome children with support needs to attend our school holiday programmes. We appreciate that support requirements vary from child to child so if you think your child would benefit from additional support, don't hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing [email protected] to request a Child Profile Form before making your booking to discuss your child's needs with our Out of School Manager. Children with 1:1 support requirements will need a Gateway Plus Card to attend with 1:1 support provided as part of the Hampshire County Council Short Breaks Scheme - find out more about the Gateway Card Scheme here.
Please Note: sessions will be available based on allocated funding spaces.
Great news! As all YMCA Daycamps and Camp Fairthorne are classed as childcare, you save money on the cost by paying with Childcare Vouchers (CCV) or the Government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme (TFC).
Deciding to pay by CCV or TFC amounts to accepting to buy a service and will be subject to the relevant booking conditions. We also accept payment by credit or debit card for any of our services.
