My little man Jacob is a little shy to begin with at new things and had never been to a camp before. He has been at the colchester camp for the last 3 weeks and absolutely LOVED it!! The best part of his day when asked is “swimming and the billy hunt”!! He’s progressed so much with his confidence in the water that I’ve now registered him for swimming lessons at his request! Big thank you to the Colchester team, Jacob WILL BE BACK! Lorna

Lucas & Emilia love Barracudas Activity Day Camp! Diverse activities and great opportunity to make new friends and create memories! All the best to Barracudas Colchester team again for this amazing week. Aura

I would highly recommend to any parent who is considering a holiday camp. All the staff have been lovely in person and on the phone. My daughter has come home every night asking, how many hours till she can go back!! Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Colchester Barracudas for making my daughters holiday one to remember.
