Barracudas Camps: The True Champions of Fun!
When the school holidays roll around, every parent wants the same thing: happy children, active days, new friendships and memories that last far beyond the summer. At Barracudas camps, we’ve built everything around a simple promise; being the true Champions of Fun!
Because for us, fun isn’t just part of the day. It’s the whole point.
80+ Activities. Endless Possibilities.
One of the things parents tell us they love most about Barracudas is our unrivalled range of 80+ activities. And we really do mean wide-ranging.
Whether your child is sporty, creative, adventurous, energetic, curious (or a bit of everything) there’s something for them at camp.
From archery and teambuilding to dance & drama, arts & crafts, team sports, motorsports, and problem-solving challenges, our programme is designed to suit every interest and personality.
Some children join us already knowing what they love. Others discover a brand-new passion during the holidays. Both are equally brilliant.
A Timetable Built on Our ACTIVE Motto
Every day at Barracudas follows our carefully designed ACTIVE Motto structure, so children enjoy options that are:
- Active
- Creative
- Teamwork
- Inspiring
- Variety
- Energetic
It’s a balanced mix that keeps days flowing smoothly while maintaining energy and excitement. There’s movement, creativity, collaboration and plenty of opportunities to build confidence along the way.
Parents can feel reassured knowing there’s a thoughtful framework behind all that fun.
Children Choose Every Session
Here’s something that truly sets Barracudas apart.
We are the only comparable provider to offer a choice of activity in every single session.
That means children are essentially building their own timetable throughout the day. They aren’t locked into one activity or rotating through things they’re unsure about. Instead, they choose what excites them most.
For parents, that means peace of mind. You know your child will always be doing something they genuinely enjoy; every session, every day.
For children, it means independence, confidence and excitement from the moment they arrive.
Barracudas-Only Activities You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
We also have activities that are completely unique to us; our brilliant ‘Barracudas Own’ sessions.
These are our high-energy, playground-style games, reimagined and turned up a level. They take the kinds of games children naturally love and transform them into something bigger, bolder and brilliantly exciting. The result? Laughter, teamwork, friendly competition and that “this is the best day ever” feeling.
Think:
- Human Football
- Ga-Ga Ball
- Imposter
- Escape rooms
- Water limbo
They’re the kind of activities children talk about long after the holidays end. Slightly different. Hugely fun. Totally memorable.
Weekly Themes That Keep Things Fresh
Our popular Weekly Themes add exciting twists to activities, creative challenges and group games throughout the week, rounding off with our exciting Friday Finale. This gives them something new to look forward to each week and means no two weeks are ever the same.
If they come for multiple weeks, the experience feels fresh every time.
Incredible Venues With Full Use of Facilities
We carefully choose our venues to offer maximum activity potential and convenience for parents.
Held at fantastic schools and facilities, children benefit from:
- Sports halls
- Playing fields
- Swimming pools (at selected venues)
- Tennis courts
- Art studios
- Drama spaces
- Outdoor adventure areas
Having full use of quality facilities means we can deliver more variety, more energy and more opportunities for children to try something new, whatever the weather.
For parents, convenient locations and trusted settings make drop-off and pick-up simple and stress-free.
Supportive, Energetic and Fully Trained Staff
Fun doesn’t just happen by accident. It’s created by people who genuinely care.
Our staff are:
- Enhanced DBS checked
- Fully trained
- Passionate and energetic
- Brilliant at building rapport with children
For specialist activities such as archery, fencing and motorsports, sessions are led by specially trained instructors with the right qualifications and expertise.
Parents regularly tell us how reassuring it feels to see confident, engaged staff who know how to bring out the best in every child; whether they’re naturally outgoing or a little more reserved.
Building Friendships and Lasting Memories
At its heart, Barracudas is about more than activities.
It’s about:
- Making new friends
- Growing in confidence
- Trying something new
- Developing skills
- Feeling included
- Having stories to tell when school returns
Holiday childcare should feel exciting, not just convenient. And when children can’t wait to come back the next morning, that’s when you know something special is happening.
