Friday Fun!
Our theme days are a great excuse for everyone to dress up and have a good time at our children's camps!
You don't have to spend hours or fortunes making or buying costumes in advance (unless you want to). The children will be able to make props during camp.
Every Friday at camp we invite the kids to go wild and wear something to match our theme. They can be as subtle, or crazy as they like. We love to see how their imaginations work!
We set the theme well ahead of camp, so there's plenty of time to get prepared.
We'll also share some easy costume ideas on our blog page to help you out before our Easter camps and summer camps open.
Whether they've always wanted to be their favourite sports star, princess, pirate or superhero their dreams can come true during theme days.
*Participation is non-compulsory

Farm Fun

Lookalike Laughs
It’s National Lookalike day this weekend (20th April) so we thought we'd make today an opportunity for you to come dressed up as someone else! This could be someone you know well, someone you admire or someone famous like your favourite sports star – the choice is yours!

Welcome to Neverland!
In 1929, the author JM Barrie gifted his copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital. In 2019 we're working with GOSH as our Charity of the Year so today we encourage you to sprinkle a little fairy dust around camp by coming as a character from Peter Pan!

There' s already so much colour on camp with all the fun activities we do so how about a bit of contrast by wearing only black and white today. It'll really make the other colours on camp stand out!

Billy invites you to join him for a beach party inspired day at camp. Colourful tops, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses are all good. There’s only one rule – no flip flops! (It’s a bit hard to do sports in these).

Sensational Seasons
