Ok - so the summer holidays can be stressful - I mean entertaining the little ones for what seem like endless weeks even my entertainment schedule dries up after about a week and a half so it's no wonder so many parents like myself turn to holiday camps to keep the smalls entertained. Not only are they an excellent good value childcare option for working parents but they are also great for anyone just wanting to give the kids a great day out whilst knowing they are in the safest of hands doing activities that will no doubt push them out of their comfort zones!

Activity camps offer children the opportunity to try out new activities in a fun and relaxed environment. They may just find they have a particular skill or strength they didn’t know about previously, which will boost their confidence.
It will also help make them more confident in dealing with new situations, so they’ll be less likely to fear change in future. By fostering an environment for healthy competition, activity camps give children the opportunity to build their resilience. We’re sure you’ll agree that’s a useful trait to help them face the challenges they’ll inevitably come across later in life.
Meeting a different set of people to their usual school friends, will help build their confidence for meeting new people. Being able to mix with different people is a valuable life skill that is often easier to pick up when you’re young.
