We are very disappointed to announce that due to the ongoing pandemic, we have very reluctantly had to take the decision to close our summer camps this year. It will be the only time since we opened Barracudas’ first camp in 1992 that we will not be enjoying great summer camps and giving children amazing experiences. We are genuinely saddened to have to take this step, but as always, we must put safety above any other consideration.

We want to absolutely reassure you that if we could possibly deliver a safe service in July and August then we would. However, almost all of our activities would be impossible, aside from the obvious issue of how young children won’t be able to observe social distancing rules in an exciting play setting. Whatever your views on the rules, and we do appreciate that public opinion is divided, we can’t operate within them, nor operate outside of them! More detailed information as to why we can’t operate the camps is available here.

We believe we have now contacted all customers with summer bookings and processed refunds or credit notes as requested. If you have any queries about a summer booking please email info@barracudas.co.uk.

Virtual Summer Camp 2020
We’re very sorry and disappointed that we won’t be part of your child’s summer in the normal way this year. We have however put together some online activities led by some of our fantastic seasonal staff so we can still part of your summer in a small way. All our Virtual Camp 2020 sessions and resources are completely free of charge and will be available from Monday 27th July for five weeks. There's a different timetable for each week, plus theme days, Barracudas Got Talent and competitions to win prizes!

We hope the impact of the pandemic hasn’t been too severe for you, and that if it has then things start to improve quickly, and hopefully in full before very long.

Thank you for your support, stay safe and we look forward to when we meet again.
