7 key benefits kids will get from an activity camp
Play provides opportunities for social interaction and physical activity, it can reduce children’s stress and promote wellbeing and encourages creativity.
It’s our activity camp mission to provide kids with a fun experience in a safe and secure environment and to ‘give them such an amazing time that they can’t wait to come back’.
Here are the key ways in which your child will benefit from attending our school holiday clubs:
New experiences
Activity camps are the perfect environment for kids to take part in something new. Whatever their interests are, our unrivalled activities give them the opportunity to take part in sessions that will inspire them. From team sports and swimming to science and arts and crafts Barracudas really does offer something for everyone. Who knows what new passion they’ll come home with. Bring on the adventure!
Making friends
Barracudas activity camps are the perfect environment to meet new friends! They’ll get the most out of new interactions with a consistent set of peers, developing meaningful friendships and making memories.
Continuing development
Children are developing all the time. Education settings obviously have a huge impact on our children’s growth. During the school holidays activity camps are a great way to continue their development. From improving social skills, to finding new interests and having new experiences, Barracudas age appropriate activities offered within a secure environment amongst a tight-knit peer group are ideal for them to spread their wings!
Keeping active
More than ever, we know how important it is to find ways to keep our kids active. Look no further than a multi activity camp to keep them active and engaged in the school holidays. With more activities than you can shake a stick at, they’ll be living their best lives. You don’t need to be a sport billy to get involved in what’s on offer. From unique games to team events, it’s all about fun at Barracudas. Based on our ACTIVE motto our timetables include a wide variety of activities and a choice for every session, so they'll always be doing something they love.
Getting outdoors
Kids love to get outside for fun, but in the school holidays it’s not always possible to get them out and about. Holiday clubs are a perfect place for them to make the most of the opportunity to get their fix of the great outdoors. Barracudas camp venues are carefully selected to give them the best facilities, both indoors and outside. With a variety of activities carefully selected for each age group, there’s no lack of opportunity for them to fill their lungs and benefit from the fresh air.
Building confidence
Holiday camps are a great way to boost your child’s self-esteem. With the chance 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. Kids also adjust to an unfamiliar setting with people they don’t know yet, encouraging adaptability, so they’ll be less likely to fear change in future. Kids consistently leave Barracudas with a greater resilience and self-belief.
Improving mental health and well-being
Kids mental health and well-being has recently been identified as a key priority. It’s something that Barracudas has always made a priority. The social interactions within groups and with our supportive staff are crucial at camp. Keeping active and engaged with the amazing variety of activities and experiences really help to keep kids feeling positive.
We’re delighted to be able to provide school holiday childcare kids will get great benefits from at Barracudas in 2024. Take a look at our Easter camps, summer camps and half term clubs to see how much fun they'll have.
We can’t wait to see how your child develops with us!
