Brilliant!

Schools Out came recommended to me as my children had outgrown the holiday club we used previously, and it hasn’t disappointed! Both of my children are loving it, and enjoying a wide range of activities every day including swimming, football, baking, archery, water fights, kick rounders, arts, crafts and much more! The staff have been very welcoming and drop off/pick up is made quick and easy with a QR code. The children can’t wait to go in the mornings which has meant no guilt trips for leaving them and going to work, which I’d been getting from them for a while when they were attending their previous holiday club! I have already booked them in again for October half term and would thoroughly recommend. 😊

Very well organised in a lovely safe place

Very well organised in a lovely safe setting and my daughter had a great time in the Adrenaline Adventure group. What's also good is if your child wants to try out any of the other groups they could. Also flexible from yapping of what days anyhow long.

Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic

Absolutely fantastic! My boys adore attending Schools Out! They love all the activities and always come home with something positive to share. The staff is incredibly friendly, consistently uplifting and encouraging the children. I especially want to highlight Miss Locke, one of the managers; she is wonderful
—so courteous, positive, and always available to address any questions or concerns from parents. Thank you, Schools Out team, for truly caring for my children!

Great venue and camp

My daughter has been attending the Ipswich Adrenalin Adventure activity camp for a few years now and loves it! The staff are organised, professional and very friendly. There are several activities covered and swimming each day. She looks forward to going each time. She has made lots of new friends and the venue is excellent!

This is superb Natasha.. we love the ease and efficiency of the QR code for drop off and collection also. It also is a very safe password for collection!

Swimming at some of our venues is a great plus… and we make sure to add water play activities to those venues that don’t have access to a pool!

We can’t wait to welcome you back.

The Chelmsford venue. For a brand new venue and camp it was amazing.
My daughter has never been to a camp before. She loved it. When booking you had the option to choose what activities you wanted to do over a grit time in there.
She came home every night with something different that she had made or more stories.
The people were amazing and the booking in and out was also under control. Very good setting.

This is so pleasing to read for a new venue in a new City! Was it Chelmsford or Braintree you attended? We are excited to welcome more people from these communities to our Summer Camps.

Great to hear you are enjoying our USP of different courses to choose from :)

My grandson loved it as always. He was distraught that we had another event to attend on Friday so he couldn’t go to Schoolsout! We were very impressed by his tie dye tshirt. Tasteful colours and pattern design.

Going from strength to strength

With every return to schools out over the last two years, my daughters experience has got better and better. The team in the charge seem to be going from strength to strength- a bonus being consistent staff members each time she returns. My daughter particularly enjoyed ‘fashion week’ and a week on is still talking about it now. She can’t wait to get back in the summer. Keep up the fantastic work!
