Get the ultimate camp experience!
The school holidays is a time for exploration, growth, and making lasting memories. For parents looking for an enriching and hassle-free experience for their children, booking a full week at an activity camp is a decision that brings a whole host of benefits.
Here are just some of the advantages of opting for a week-long adventure, from preferential rates and enhanced opportunities for fun to the sense of community and peace of mind that comes with being part of a full week at camp.
Benefits for parents
Preferential rates
One of the primary benefits of booking a full week at Barracudas is you'll get a real bargain. Our preferential weekly rates essentially mean you get a day for free. This helps with the family budget, but also maximizes the opportunity for fun! Parent win, child win!
While daily rates may seem reasonable, booking a full week results in significant cost savings. This cost-efficiency allows families to get more value out of their investment, making the week-long experience not only enjoyable but also economical. The great news is that you can get our lowest rates for 2025 now with our Early Booking offer, saving £100 on a full week booking!
Relieve the stress
No last-minute panics or changes! We've all been there; managing a changing childcare schedule can be like a full time job in itself. Where are they today, where are they going tomorrow, what do I need to prepare and where do we need to be and by when?! Booking a full week at an activity camp eliminates the stress associated with last-minute arrangements or changes. From packing essentials to coordinating drop-offs and pick-ups, a week-long camp experience is like a well oiled machine.
Plus, you can rest easy, confident in the knowledge that your child is in a secure and supervised environment. Booking a full week means both you and your child can settle into the routine, reducing any concerns and resulting in a positive experience for all.
Benefits for children
More chance for fun
The magic of a camp experience lies in the variety of activities and the chance to form lasting bonds with peers. Booking a full week enhances the overall enjoyment for children by providing them with more opportunities to have fun and fully immerse themselves in the camp atmosphere.
With a week-long booking, children have access to the entire spectrum of activities at Barracudas. This means they can explore various interests, discover new passions, and participate in a well-rounded program that caters to their diverse preferences. With a choice of activity for every session at camp, you can be sure they're always doing something they love.
Opportunities to develop skills
Extended engagement allows them to deepen their skills in a particular activity. Whether it's perfecting a dance routine, refining sports techniques, or exploring their artistic flair, a full week provides the time needed for meaningful skill development.
Building lasting friendships
Friendships are a key part of the Barracudas camp experience, and a full week allows children to form deeper connections with their peers. As they navigate challenges, collaborate in activities, and share daily experiences, lasting bonds are forged, creating memories that extend beyond the school holidays.
A full week at camp provides an extended period for campers to bond with their group and make new friends. This sense of community not only enhances the overall experience but also contributes to personal growth and social development.
Teamwork and group dynamics
Extended time together allows children to understand each other's strengths, interests, and quirks, fostering a positive group dynamic. This familiarity contributes to smoother collaboration in team activities and promotes a supportive environment where everyone feels valued.
This is great for social development and confidence building too.
Weekly themed fun
Barracudas has a theme for each week at camp. Children will enjoy taking part in activities tweaked to the theme throughout the week and it involves everyone at camp, every day! Whilst we expect the same high quality of sessions every day of camp, this brings an added layer of fun. Children who attend the whole week really get the chance to immerse themselves in the unique activities at camp throughout the week as the excitement builds to the Friday Finale event.
Reassurance for parents
Cost effective
Barracudas offers discounted rates for week-long bookings, making the cost-per-day more affordable than booking individual days. We also provide flexible payment options, giving you the option to secure your booking with a small deposit and pay the rest in interest-free monthly instalments, or paying the balance by the due date. As we're Ofsted registered, you can also pay with Tax-Free childcare or Childcare Vouchers, making your holiday childcare even more affordable.
Stress-free routine
Even if you don’t need every day for logistical reasons, a full week allows your child to fully immerse themselves in the camp experience. You'll enjoy the reduced stress of a routine and they'll enjoy a full week of fun!
Changing plans
We understand plans can change. We offer a low cost Flex booking option so you can protect your booking against changes and cancellations. This is a great option if you're booking early to get the benefits of our fantastic Early Booking rates!
First time bookers
We know it can be nerve wracking booking your child into camp for the first time. We're confident they'll have an amazing experience and love making new friends and trying new things. A full week also gives them time to settle in and feel comfortable. For added reassurance, we offer a Money Back Guarantee for first time bookers, so you won't miss out if it doesn't work out!
Benefits of booking a full week of fun
Booking a full week at Barracudas provides parents with a sense of peace of mind and assurance. Knowing that your child is engaged in a well-organized routine and are thoroughly enjoying their experience is a welcome stress relief. Not only that, but you also know that you've got a great deal with our preferential rates.
Your child will thank you too as they get even more opportunity for fun, skill development and friendship making.
In a nutshell; it's peace of mind for you and maximum fun for them!
