The summer hols are here again, and it’s time to start planning activities for the kids. If you’re stuck for ideas of what to do with the nippers over the long break, and are looking for a meaningful alternative to screen time, Adventure Camp could be just the ticket!
Developed by the United Education team, Adventure Camps provide fun, action-packed holiday camp experiences designed to promote creativity, confidence, kindness and curiosity in young learners. In line with United Education’s ‘Makers & Shapers’ ethos, these getaways encourage children aged 5-16 to explore and grow, emphasising the importance of self-awareness, personal choice, and belonging within a group.
Providing access to a wide range of exciting daily activities based around drama, STEM, sports, bushcraft, crafts, water play and beyond, Adventure Camps are suited to the interests and tastes of every child; what’s more, camp members may choose their own activities each day, and can also assign themselves with daily roles such as Explorer, Creator, Challenger, Performer, and Guardian. Whether your child would prefer to spend their summer swimming, enjoying survival games, or perfecting their performing arts skills, they’re sure to find an adventurous activity to fit the bill. This element of personal choice can go a long way in fostering self-reliance, self-confidence and independence in children, as well as positively shaping their experiences as happy campers!
You can get your child onboard with a camp during every school break, including May Half Term and the Summer Holidays. At present, York-based Adventure Camp locations include St Peter’s School and The Mount School, while other venues in the North Yorkshire area include Yarm School and Cundall Manor School. Wherever you’re based in the county, you should be able to find an easily accessible Adventure Camp.
Whichever programme or location you and your child decide to go with, you can rest assured that all Adventure Camps are run and overseen by passionate, qualified, DBS-checked staff. Each camp also features a dedicated Camp Cabinet, designed to reward and celebrate the achievements of the kids. Given that United Education is geared toward promoting physical, social, and emotional development, these kind of achievements could include examples of bravery, resilience, kindness, and teamwork.
