We talk a lot about the benefits of summer camp when it comes to aiding children in developing skills or making new friends, however, our camps are also designed to support busy parents throughout the school holidays.
In this blog, we’ll be taking you through just a few things that parents can benefit from when booking their child into camp.
From offering extra hours that make dropping off your children to camp fit in with your regular work commutes, to using cost-effective childcare to avoid using unnecessary annual leave during the holidays – we try to keep the needs of parents at the forefront of our minds.
There are multiple options when it comes to dealing with childcare needs during the school holidays and each of these come with their own set of pros and cons.
The benefits for parents when it comes to choosing summer camps over other options is not only the peace of mind that comes with leaving your children in a space environment run by qualified, DBS checked staff but also the ability to continue education outside of school term times.
Our programmes are created with education at the forefront of objectives, with timetables that focus on activities that expand skills,experiences that can spark new hobbies and interests as well as bringing physical education to fun camp environments.
Though school holiday dates may differ between areas, most children enjoy a whole 6-weeks off, sometimes spent at home and wondering what to do. However, the same can’t be said for parents who are left feeling overwhelmed trying to cover 6 weeks of childcare and entertainment whilst balancing a full-time job and limited annual leave.
When approaching the idea of managing school holidays (some up to 6 weeks long!) some may find a balance of taking alternate weeks off, searching around for a trustworthy and reliable childminder or dropping the kids off at a family members to cover the time – but it’s not always easy to do.
For those in the know however, utilising the existence of day camps with substantial experience in childcare that develop fun and educational programmes can make life a lot easier without having to compromise on quality or experience.
You may be wondering – but how am I going to balance dropping off my children to a day camp without compromising my working hours? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Since the pandemic, plenty of workplaces have moved towards flexible working but if you still find it a struggle some days, Camp Beaumont have several options that help to increase flexibility.
Upon booking with us, you can opt to purchase optional extras to help make drop off and pick up a breeze. These extra hours options allow drop-offs from as early as 8am with pick-ups available as late as 6pm.
The responsibility of entertaining children during the six-week summer holiday doesn’t have to rest solely on the shoulders of parents. Camp Beaumont has over 40 years of experience in childcare and works to create age-appropriate programmes designed to provide childcare,entertainment, and education all in one.
To find out how Camp Beaumont can ease the stress of the school holidays, why not see for yourself by booking your child some days (or weeks!) at camp this year.
The staff are brilliant: enthusiastic, kind and engaged. The range of activities is great and the hours are really helpful for working parents. Most importantly our son always comes home happy and tired from a fun day.
