Great activities and the camp manager is a star

Both my daughters went to the Colchester School's Out for the first time during the Easter break. I was really nervous putting them both in, especially as they had to be split up due to their ages - but I needn't have worried. My youngest absolutely loved it and if she did have any reservations, the camp manager Miss White soon got rid of those with her bubbly and super personable self, ensuring my daughter felt included, safe and loved - somehow always knowing what both my girls had been up to that day. Likewise, my eldest absolutely loved Creative Crew, being able to do a talent show every week! She too felt much less anxious when she realised one of her school teachers was the camp manager, and as always, she greeted her each day in such a way that made her feel special. Such a lovely holiday club, won't use any other now.

Fantastic Camp!

I can’t recommend this camp highly enough. Both my daughters had a fantastic time over the summer and have been desperate to come back as soon as possible. They both did the ‘Creative Crew’ camp which has an excellent range of both indoor and outdoor activities, including cake baking, swimming, T-shirt designing, and dancing. The camp has flexible drop off/pick up times to suit parents’ different working needs which is very useful and was very well organised with friendly, helpful and qualified staff. The smiles on the children’s faces at the end of the week show proved how everyone had a wonderful time!

My Daughter loved it, just booked again!

I've just booked my daughter (age 5) in for Easter and summer camp this year because she just loved it last summer. She did all sorts of activities - getting active, getting crafty and getting silly - I was pretty jealous! The staff are fantastic, well organised and very professional. I felt really comfortable leaving my little one with them. Can't not praise any more highly!

Both my grandchildren absolutely love 'schools out' - they have been to another summer camp but rate this one 'THE BEST EVER'.
All the staff have been professional, enthusiastic and encouraging -they all have great interaction with the kids and get the best out of them.
The facilities are lovely and the activities extensive, all supervised by fully qualified staff
Very well done Schools out - my two have already asked to come back next year for both weeks.
See you next year
Grateful thanks
