Outstanding Facilities at Bushey Summer Camp
One of the reasons Bushey stands out among summer camps in Hertfordshire is the exceptional range of facilities available to children throughout the holidays.
Indoor Swimming Pool
The indoor swimming pool is always a favourite with children attending camp. Swimming sessions provide a fun way to stay active, build water confidence and enjoy a refreshing break from the summer heat.
Because the pool is indoors, swimming can take place regardless of the weather, helping children enjoy this popular activity throughout the holiday period. During summer we also have the Aqua Slide for outdoor water fun!
Motor sports Track
The dedicated motor sports track brings a unique element of excitement to the Bushey camp experience.
Children love the opportunity to develop coordination, concentration and confidence while taking part in supervised motor sports activities that aren't available at most holiday clubs. Motor Mania skills sessions are also available for children who want to develop their abilities further.
Tennis Courts and Astro Pitch
For children who love sport, the combination of tennis courts, an astro pitch and extensive playing fields provides endless opportunities to stay active.
Whether they're learning new techniques, taking part in team games or simply enjoying outdoor activities with friends, children remain engaged and moving throughout the day.
Archery Adventures
Children aged 8 and above can take on the challenge of archery.
A favourite activity at Barracudas camps, archery helps children improve concentration, coordination and patience while enjoying the thrill of hitting the target. It's often one of the first activities children tell their parents about at the end of the day.
Art Rooms for Creative Minds
Not every child wants to spend the entire day playing sports, which is why the dedicated art rooms are such a valuable feature.
Creative activities encourage imagination, self-expression and confidence, allowing children to explore new interests and showcase their artistic talents.
Indoor Hall and Dining Facilities
The spacious indoor hall ensures activities can continue whatever the weather, while the dedicated dining room gives children a comfortable place to enjoy lunch and socialise with their friends during the day.

Make new friends
