October half term camp roundup

We had an amazing time at our October half term camps this year.

With 10 camps open, that's more than we've ever run in the shorter school holidays and we were really pleased that they were so popular.

All camps embraced our seasonal Halloween theme and we offered thrills and spills to suit every child's interest throughout the week.

Here are our standout moments from this October

Happy Halloween Theme

Barracudas embraced the season with a fun and light-hearted Halloween theme this half term. We set the scene with our spooktacular registration area and followed this throughout the day with some themed activities available to choose. Take a look at our example timetable to see some of the options.

From tweaking some of our popular activities to offering specific arts and crafts sessions, kids loved getting involved – and so did our staff!

Social media takeovers

Parents love to see what's going on at camp. We handed over our Instagram account to camps this half term so you could see the fun on the ground.

On Wednesday the stories came flooding in from Wokingham camp showing children playing fun games and loving the Halloween activities - we even had a special visit from Spooky Billy!

Thursday we were delighted by insights from our Welwyn camp. We got a peek at inspiring arts and crafts sessions and a Billy Hunt that really entertained our campers.

Huntingdon went all out on our Friday Theme Day. Not only did we get to see the fun activities but also got the chance to give us your thoughts on what other activities you'd like to see at camp. On top of that you could also play our fun game on guessing whether or not the basketball went through the hoop.

TikTok launch

We're getting down with the kids and have recently launched our own TikTok account. Take a look out for our Billy Transformation and 'Red Light, Green Light' game coming up soon!

October camp dance

Our dance guru, Silly Tom, entertained us with a fun Halloween camp dance. Once again, he applied his specialist skills to teach us some cool moves. We loved his seasonal twist and children enjoyed putting their own spin on the routine. If you fancy having a go, just look out for our video on Facebook!

Trustpilot ratings

We care about your experience and invite parents to leave us their independent reviews on Trustpilot. This October we were thrilled to get some amazing comments and ratings.

Fangtastic Theme Day

As always, we end the camp week on a fun Theme Day.

Virtual camps

Whilst we had more October camps than ever, we weren't able to operate at all our locations. We're committed to providing activities and entertainment to all our campers.

We had an amazing time at half term and were pleased to have seen so many children at our camps embracing the fun and getting active.

Whilst that's a wrap for 2021, we're pleased to be open for 2022 bookings now!
