We continue to follow and monitor the latest Government advice for Out of School clubs; this advice covers Daycamp programmes and more details can be found here.

Due to the current restrictions, our camps will look a little different to our normal programmes which is outlined in our Parent Information Pack. The Parent Information Pack will be sent out to you via email nearer the time, whilst we monitor the updated government guidance

Bubble request reminder – if your child is attending camp and wants to be in a bubble with a friend, send any requests to [email protected] by 12pm on the day before the start of the camp and we will do our best to put them in the same group. Please do not request to be in a group with more than 2 friends.
