Exceptional Facilities at Ware Summer Camp
One of the standout features of Barracudas Ware is its impressive range of facilities. Set within Presdales School, the venue enables children to enjoy specialist activities that many other holiday camps simply can't offer.
Outdoor Swimming Pool and Aqua Slide
Nothing says summer quite like swimming outdoors. The Ware camp benefits from an outdoor swimming pool, giving children the chance to cool off, build water confidence and enjoy one of the most anticipated activities of the week. During the summer holidays, the exciting aqua slide adds even more splash-filled fun.
For many children, swimming sessions become the highlight of their summer camp experience.
Motor sports Track
Few summer camps can offer the thrill of a dedicated motor sports track. At Ware, children can enjoy supervised motor sports activities that help develop coordination, concentration and confidence while delivering plenty of excitement along the way. Ofsted inspectors have previously highlighted children's pride and confidence when learning to manoeuvre motorised go-karts at the camp.
Archery Adventures
Children aged 8 and above can test their focus and accuracy through archery sessions. Led by trained instructors, archery offers a fantastic opportunity to develop patience, concentration and new skills while trying something many children don't experience elsewhere.
Sports Facilities for Active Children
Young sports enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy thanks to the camp's extensive sporting facilities, including:
Sports hall
Playing fields
Netball courts
Gym
Indoor hall
From football and team games to unique Barracudas activities, children stay active, engaged and moving throughout the day.
Drama and Creative Performance Spaces

These creative sessions help children express themselves, work collaboratively and discover new talents while having fun with friends.
