This is fantastic feedback Claire, especially coming from a qualified teacher. We bring together children from all backgrounds and primary schools in the local communities which is so important as well.

This was the first year that I put my 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter in for a week- and they absolutely loved it! They attended the Woodbridge school camp. There were nerves on the first morning (and tears!!) but once they had finished day 1- they pleaded with me to book them in the for the week!! It was so well organised and so many fun activities for them to do- the tuck shop was a big hit!! Thanks so much Schools Out- we will be seeing you again soon.

Hi Maddy, such a good account of what it is like for new starters to join our welcoming Crew!

First time experience

We haven't had many days, but every day was significant positive experience for my child. He was eager to go there in the morning, and he was always in a good mood when I was collecting him. He also became slightly more disciplined and considerate in generally. I appreciate a lot the team efforts for creating such welcoming and friendly space

My son had a fantastic time it has given him so much confidence. He has ADHD and some places are not welcoming. The team at Woodbridge are amazing. The fact my son keeps wanting to come back says it all. Thank you ❤️

Amazing experience for the kiddies

My daughter has been going to summer camp all summer, 3 days a week. She has absolutely loved every second! From the moment they greet her, with a great big smile and remembering her name, she has an amazing time!
From drawing, painting, clay making, swimming and everything else in between they cater for a wide range of activities, ability’s and needs.
Everyone who works there are so friendly, helpful and polite.
My daughter can’t wait for the next school break so she can go back

Excellent camp!

Excellent camp! My 4 year old loved it. He went to a camp run by a different camp previously and it didn’t go down too well as was too wide a mix of ages but 4-6 yr olds was great for him. As a parent, the flexibility of changing dates and option of early start and late pick up is really valuable.

Cannot fault Team Colchester and we will be regular attendees going forward!

Not used a holiday camp before but my two boys (6 and 7) absolutely loved their two weeks spent at the Colchester camp this summer! So much so they even begged me to book them in for a third week. I will definately be booking next year shortly. Both groups that my boys were in were action packed and they enjoyed every single day there doing different things! The range of activities kept them entertained every day and they loved each day and also made good positive relationships with the staff. The wrap around hours were also a blessing as it allowed me to still work full days. They loved the tuck shop, ice cream van visits, archery and dodgeball. I cannot fault the Colchester team in any way! Thankyou! Jack and Archie will be regular attendees going forward (and their sister when she is old enough to attend!).

Brilliant summer camp

Brilliant summer camp! My child went to the Ipswich site so got to swim everyday that she wanted to and did a weekly show in their theatre which we got to watch. She enjoyed cooking and art activities, and got to try archery and bouldering. There was a daily tuck shop and weekly ice cream van. The staff really made it - everyone on the team is friendly, positive & approachable. It felt very well organised and safe, as well as really good fun.

Amazing Camp - great service! Would recommend!!

Amazing camp. My 2 daughters spent a few days every week at Colchester. The staff were enthusiastic, friendly, welcoming and full of energy. I felt they really took the time to get to know and bond with the children. Every day was planned and my children really enjoyed it. They came home exhausted and happy so double win

This is great feedback, thank you so much for providing this. I shall make sure to pass on to Mr Cooper and his team at Woodbridge who no doubt took on a challenging summer this year but we took on the challenges head-on and welcomed more children than ever to our camp at the wonderful setting at Woodbridge school. We can’t wait to welcome you back to camp!

Woodbridge Venue

It’s the first time at schoolsout for my 11 yo son. The Woodbridge camp is packed with various activities. Staff is very friendly and I know he is very well looked after. He is coming back very tired and very happy making new friends every day. I am very pleased that my friend recommended schoolsout! Best choice.

Warm and friendly.

I have a 5 and 9 year old . The activities were WAY better than our local holiday provision in London. They loved the swimming , the baking and made friends quickly . My year 9 year old son who was very reluctant to go could n't stop talking about how much fun he had. They loved the Wipe Out , the tuck shop and I really appreciated the option of wrap around breakfast /late pick up .
