It provides a safe and supervised environment for swimming sessions where children can build water confidence, improve technique and enjoy fun games with friends—regardless of weather conditions.
Swimming is consistently one of the most popular activities across Barracudas camps.

The tennis courts give children the chance to develop coordination, agility and sporting skills in a fun and active environment.
Whether beginners or more experienced players, children benefit from structured coaching-style sessions and friendly matches that encourage teamwork and confidence.
Motor sports Track
The dedicated motor sports track offers a unique and exciting experience not found in most holiday clubs.
Children take part in supervised driving-style activities that help build focus, coordination and confidence, making it one of the most memorable parts of the camp experience.
Archery Adventures (Age 8+)
Children aged 8 and above can take part in specialist archery sessions.
Archery helps develop concentration, patience and accuracy while giving children the excitement of improving their aim and hitting targets in a structured, safe environment.

These spaces allow for a wide variety of structured sports sessions that keep children moving and engaged all day.
Art Rooms for Creativity
