Holiday Camps

School-aged, 4-7 years. All children must be toilet trained and comfortable with parent separation. We are unable to organise and provide settling in sessions prior to booked days.

Yes, that’s very important. Upon completion of your booking confirmation you will receive a copy of our kit list. All children must be dressed appropriately and all items labelled.

Yes. All children must come with a packed lunch that is suitable to be left outside in their bag until it’s time for lunch. We have a no nuts policy.

We run showarounds for our nursery but not for holiday camp. If we have scheduled Nursery Open Days (see outdoorowls.com/open-days) planned you’re welcome to join in the family fun and ask the team some questions, however we won’t be able to show you our holiday camp space. You can see on our website and instagram for more insights!

Once a place is booked it is non refundable. However, we understand sometimes life throws up planning alterations and therefore if you wish to cancel over 2 weeks in advance, you will receive credit to book another day within 12 months. We are unable to credit booking cancellations within 2 weeks for any reason.

Depending on activities on the day, your child may have a take home to show you. We also ask families to inform us of permission to post pictures/ videos on our social media - so you might get lucky to see your child there. Due to administrative time restraints and focus on ensuring children have great days we are unable to share individual photos/ videos to individual families.

Yes, our team will ensure children pace themselves throughout the day. We have morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks plus throughout the day in children have the time to relax in nature in between activities.

We understand children and we know challenging behavior is often the result of unmet needs by the child. We are experts in tuning in to individuals’ needs and giving them the personal, social, and emotional support they require to feel safe & secure.

Should the weather get stormy or there be particularly high winds we have contingency plans in place where we can spend time in open spaces away from trees and if necessary we have indoor cabin space which we can access. Fortunately, our weather is pretty stable and it is a very rare occurrence that we need to head indoors. If for any reason we need to cancel any part or full day due to weather we will inform you asap.

We are Ofsted Registered and our team is highly experienced in safe outdoor education. We perform daily risk assessments to ensure our environment is ready for fun and we have team members First Aid trained.
