Barracudas activities have been expertly designed to give every child such an amazing experience they can't wait to come back.
Our timetable is all about promoting an active lifestyle. We offer a huge range of sessions that will always be fun, varied and built on our ACTIVE motto!
Children get great benefits from being active, and it's vital for their development and physical wellbeing to keep moving!
Physical activity is important for children to grow up to have strong bones and muscles, maintain a healthy weight as well as building their confidence. Barracudas have an active option for every session each day. With our unrivalled number of activities, there'll be a wide range of sports from Dodgeball (always a firm favourite) through to Kinball and even Quidditch!
Kids will get the chance to pick their familiar favourites, or give new sessions a go.
Example activities: Ball sports, Barracudas Olympics, Kinball, Football Camp, Tennis Tournament, Pop Lacrosse
We know that every child is different. Barracudas supports art lovers and creative thinkers with multiple options. Creative activities foster mental growth by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, new ways of thinking and problem solving.
Our artistic sessions are carefully thought out to make sure they're age appropriate for each group at camp. Kids will get the chance to work with a number of different materials from clay to textiles and, of course, paint, to express themselves and create masterpieces they will treasure from camp.
Example activities: Big Box Challenge, Making Playdough, Mask Making, Paper Mache Frames, Clay Pots
Teamwork is an essential life skill for kids to master. At Barracudas, they'll have the opportunity to learn problem solving, listening, leadership, communication and creative thinking.
Our carefully thought out programme of activities offers plenty of sessions for them to develop these skills. Children will leave Barracudas with higher levels of self-confidence, self-esteem, patience, empathy, and compassion.
In teambuilding sessions, young people at camp will learn how to work together to solve problems and achieve results.
Example activities: Orienteering, Code Cracker, Human Knot, Bridge Challenge, River Crossing
Children deserve to keep being inspired in the school holidays. Our timetables are carefully considered to make sure there's plenty on offer to inspire children.
From popular favourites to new activities and specialist sessions, they'll be wow'd with what's on offer. The fact that we offer a choice for each session, means that children can be in control of their day which really keeps them engaged and motivated.
Our sessions are delivered by enthusiastic, well-trained professionals who bring each activity to life. Children at camp respond so positively to our camp staff that they develop new passions and leave camp with lasting memories.
Example activities: Motorsports, Fencing, *Archery, Barracudas Got Talent, Bottle Volcanoes, Croccer, Kinball, Discovery Squad
*Available Easter and summer only
Variety is the spice of life! It's our mission to provide children with widest range of options at Barracudas camps. With 6 sessions each day and a choice for each one, our timetables are carefully planned to make sure kids will be kept motivated all day, and throughout the week.
Children are not carbon copies. Each child has a different range of interests and we try hard to make sure that there is always something on offer they'll love – for every session!
Just like having a healthy diet, offering a wide variety of activities provides balance for children. We know how important it is that they develop key life skills at camp. With our varied range of activities, kids always grow during their time with us. On top of that, they have the chance to find new passions which they continue after camp.
Example activities: Inflatable Assault Course, Bar rumba, Circus Skills, *Aqua slide, Swimming, Water Activities, Yoga
*Available summer only
Energetic play has significant benefits for children. With increasingly sedate lifestyles, we know how important it is to get kids moving.
Participating in energetic activities not only improves physical fitness but also had a hugely positive effect on mental well-being.
As well as mastering techniques such as how to run, throw, catch, jump, kids also develop key skills through energetic activities including coordination, self-esteem and resilience. They'll leave camp with a greater level of stamina and fitness than when they joined us.
Our timetable is full of activities that'll have them jumping for joy. There's always an age appropriate activity on offer to get them moving. From new sessions to firm favourites, they'll love what's on offer!
Example activities: Move Like Jackson, Kwik Cricket, Minute To Win It, Ultimate Frisbee
There are 6 sessions per day at Barracudas, with a choice of activities for each one. Timetables are carefully considered and offer a balance for each session throughout the day and over the full week.
There are over 80 activities available at each venue, so there is something for everyone. Activities range from popular sports to creative arts and team building games. We also offer motorsports and archery at all venues plus water based activities. Where we have a pool children will swim throughout the course of the week. Our sites without pools are complimented with inflatable water parks. All venues also offer an aquaslide in the summer to cool off on those hot days.
Activities are designed to suit the developmental stage of each age group. Children are grouped with their peers so they can enjoy activities suitable for their age in a safe and fun environment.
Please note available activities do vary during half term holidays, please see half terms page for details.
We're passionate about supporting every child’s well-being, building their confidence, and encouraging positive personal growth throughout their time with us. Our camps provide a safe, supportive environment where children can step outside their comfort zone, try new activities, and develop a strong sense of self.
Through a wide variety of experiences, children are encouraged to challenge themselves, celebrate their achievements, and build resilience. Whether it’s learning a new skill, performing in front of others, or working as part of a team, each success—big or small—helps to grow confidence and self-belief.
We place a strong focus on emotional well-being, ensuring every child feels happy, included, and valued. Our staff are trained to provide encouragement and support, helping children navigate new situations, make friends, and feel comfortable being themselves.
