BX+ 

BX+ is exclusively for 14-16 year olds, giving the opportunity for young people to enjoy the unique Barracudas atmosphere and activities whilst interacting with others of their own age.  

This programme gives young people the choice to join in with activities alongside the eldest group at the camp, and also spend time each day shadowing a member of the Barracudas staff team. This might involve setting up activity areas, helping to organise groups or even helping teach the younger children’s activities (always under the supervision of our regular team).

Not only is this a great way to experience camp as a trainee “member of staff” (without all of the associated responsibilities!), it might even lead to a fun filled summer as a potential member of staff in years to come!

Before the start of camp we will send a questionnaire to anyone booked on the BX+ course. This enables us to find out a little bit about them: their likes, dislikes, hobbies and interest before they start in the summertime. This helps us to ensure that they too have such an amzing experience at camp that they can't wait to come back!

Everyone on the BX+ course will have a personal folder including simple worksheets to complete, covering topics like teamwork, first aid, sports coaching and child behaviour. They may also complete their BX+ diary to chart their progress and record events.

At the end of the week, BX+ people will receive a certificate detailing their achievements.

The BX+ programme is useful for anyone considering a career in teaching, childcare or the leisure and sports industry, or those who just want to be challenged as well as entertained!
