Parent Centre

We run our day camps throughout all the school holidays but dates vary between venues. For exact dates and the venues, have a look at the ‘Dates & Prices’ section of our website.

As we do not own the venues you will not be able to visit outside of school holiday periods during which we are open. If we are open, you are welcome to come for a look around - but this is by appointment only. You will need to contact the camp you wish to visit and make an appointment with a member of the management team - please get in touch with us via our contact us page and we'll help you do this.

We understand that you and your child may be nervous about coming to camp for the first time. We have outstanding and caring staff who will ensure you and your child made comfortable and to ensure that your child settles into camp quickly. Looking after your children is a huge responsibility and one we take incredibly seriously. Camp Beaumont’s mission is to create inspiring adventures throughout the school holidays, to do that we ensure we have highly trained camp staff on hand to settle all campers. Each child will be assigned a keyworker or group leader who will be on hand to explain how the day will run, familiarise them with the camp location and advise on what they can expect. We are confident that very quickly your child will make new friends, challenge themselves with new activities and create long-lasting memories.

We group children according to age in our four main age groups: Playtime (3 & 4 years old); Magic (5 to 7 years old); Active (8 to 11 years old); and Teens (12 to 14 years old). These groups may be split down further depending on the number of children into age groups (e.g. Magic could be split into 5s, 6s and 7s age groups). We have a maximum of 24 children per group and our staff to child ratios are as follows: Playtime & Magic – 1:8, Active & Teens – 1:12.

We organise our child groupings by the week so they will be in the same group for the whole of their stay. If they come back for an additional week then there is a small chance their group may change depending on numbers of children attending. As is the case with our camp product, children will be split into groups based on their ages. However, you can make a request via email or on your booking and we will pass this on to the camp team who will make the final decision based on operational delivery. Understandably all requests can’t be guaranteed.‍

Yes, all the children who attend will have key workers in the form of our brilliant Head Group Leaders and Group Leaders. For our younger guests from 3 to 5 years old, they will be assigned one of our team members who will check in to ensure they are have a great time whilst with us.

Our teams are extremely busy throughout the day ensuring that all of our campers are having the best time, so we would encourage you to speak with our team at collection time to get some feedback on how your child’s day was. If you really need to get in touch with the camp, you are able to do this by calling or emailing the camp directly using the contacts we'll send you the week before camp starts.

No, we would strongly recommend that your child does not bring any money. Camp Beaumont cannot be held responsible for any money that goes missing whilst on camp. All our camps only accept cashless methods of payment for any extras.

Arrival time is between 08:30 and 09:30. Throughout this period, our team will have some fun organised activities to warm the children up ready for the day full of activities.

Collection time is between 16:30 and 17:30 and again - like in the morning - our team will have a selection of activities to ensure the children continue their adventures right up until home time.

For parents that need it, we do offer an extended day service between 08:00 and 08:30 for a small additional charge of £6 per child per day. We also offer an extended day option until 18:00 for busy working parents for the same charge of £6 per child per day.

Jennett's Park bookings: Drop off is at 9am and collection is at 3:30. Extended days cannot be added to bookings at Jennett's Park.

When you arrive, follow the Camp Beaumont flags to the ‘sign in’ area. There you will find your child’s age group table with a friendly Head Group Leader to register your child. You will be required to confirm a few details about your booking and ensure that your child has everything ready for a great day. Your child will then be introduced to their group leaders and encouraged to join in with their group in some small warm up activities whilst the rest of the group arrives.

Our Camp Management Team will also be on hand to answer any questions and ensure your child settles well.

We understand that sometimes things happen outside of your control, and you may be late collecting your child. Please give the camp a call as soon as you know that you may be late so that we know – the contact number is available on the camp location page of the website. If you are later than 5.30pm then we reserve the right to charge for Extra Slice, £6 up until 6pm. If later than 6pm then we reserve the right to charge £5 for every 5 minutes. This is to cover the cost of the two team members that are required to stay. Don’t worry though, your child will be kept safe and entertained until you arrive.

Depending on your child’s age and group, the structure of the day will vary slightly. Early Riser Sign In (£6 extra) takes place from 8:00 – 8:30am. Check In lasts until 9:30am. During this time, staff will ensure children are settled and play games with them to warm them up for the day ahead!

For the rest of the day, children will participate in six activity sessions with frequent toilet, sun cream and water breaks, a break for lunch and a snack time for our campers. For three- and four-year-olds, sessions are slightly shorter – therefore children will participate in up to eight different activity sessions.

Check Out is from 4:30- 5:30pm. At 5:30pm, Extra Slice begins (£6 extra) and lasts until 6pm when the camp day is officially over!

Authorised collectors will need to show photographic ID when collecting.

For bookings at Jennett's Park: Drop off is at 9am and collection at 3:30pm. You are not able to add Early Riser or Extra Slice to these bookings.

We have worked with industry leading experts to design a truly unique, experience led set of programmes. Whilst we want to keep some of the content close to our chest, we have some descriptions and sample sessions available in the Epic Weeks section of the website.

No, we ask that children bring enough food for two snack breaks and a lunch as well as plenty of water. This includes any excursion days if applicable. We recommend that you place ice blocks within the lunchbox to keep the food fresh.

Please note that we are a ‘nut-aware camp’ so please do not pack anything with nuts or nut products in.

Yes, you can use tax free childcare and childcare vouchers to book these programmes.

Campers will be transported to their off-site adventures by our sister company, Britannia Coach Services, which is part of the Inspiring Learning Group. All drivers are DBS checked and Camp Beaumont team members will accompany them throughout the whole day.

All excursion staff are selected based on their experience and competency and will be subject to our safer recruitment checks. Staff will be fully trained and briefed on all excursion procedures. There will be qualified paediatric first aiders accompanying the trip and each venue will be risk assessed prior to each excursion.

We work on a 1:6 ratio for our excursions.

In the extremely unlikely event that an excursion is cancelled we will offer either a credit note to be used on a future Camp Beaumont product to the value of the excursion or, where possible a voucher to use at the excursion venue to the value of one child place.

If our camp staff find any named items, we will try our best to return these to children during the day. If your child has lost something which has not been returned to them, all lost property will be displayed at sign in and sign out every day for the duration of camp.

You are welcome to come and have a look through the misplaced items, even if your child’s time at camp has finished. Finding belongings and returning them to children is made much simpler by items being named!

Please note that we are unable to return items of lost property once the camp has closed. At the end of each camp, any remaining items of lost property will be donated to charity.

If your child has a specific medical condition, this should be indicated on your Child’s Information held digitally via your online account. If you feel that you need to discuss your child’s condition before camp begins, you can speak to our team on 01603 851000 and any information can be passed on to camp management teams. You are also able to speak to our on-site teams when dropping your child off for their first day to give any more information about a medical condition which you feel may need clarifying.

If your child requires medication to be administered to them during camp, you will be asked to complete a Medical Administration Form on your child's first day. This will detail the medication being kept onsite and how often it should be given.

Most types of medication will be kept in the first aid area of the camp and administered by first aiders at the time shown on the Medical Administration Form. The exception to this is EpiPens and Inhalers which will be carried by the members of staff supervising your child’s group to ensure they are always in the correct place if needed. If at any time during your child’s time at camp with us they require new medication, please speak to a member of staff onsite and complete a Medical Administration Form to enable us to give medicine when it is required.

Yes we always have as a minimum of two paediatric trained first aiders onsite across our Day Camps, EPIC Weeks and Residential camps. Depending on the size of the camp, we may have more. If your child goes on an excursion or takes transport provided by Camp Beaumont to a Camp then their will be at least 1 paediatric trained first aider accompanying the children with first aid kits and trained in the emergency procedures.

Unfortunately, if your child is ill and you do not have FLEX we will not be able to offer a refund or credit note. If your child is unwell and cannot attend and you have purchased FLEX, please refer to the FLEX guidance to find out more about your options.

FLEX is not available for our Residential products, we recommend that you have your own Travel Insurance in place for these.

Positive reinforcement is the key for us at Camp Beaumont! We want all children who come to camp to enjoy their time with us and have the best holiday experience possible. If we see children behaving appropriately, we make sure to comment on and reward this behaviour.

All staff have some behaviour management training which focuses on outlining rules and discussing why they are important, then managing children’s behaviour. Of course, we understand that in a new and exciting environment, children may need reminding of behaviour expectations – and to that end, each group will agree to a camp contract with their group outlining the rules of our sites. These rules are designed in collaboration with campers to ensure they keep themselves and others safe and enable activities to be as enjoyable as possible!

If a child is consistently breaking the rules and disrupting others, they will be taken aside and spoken to by a member of staff. A discussion will be had about why the rules are in place and why it is important to behave appropriately, then will be returned to the group to enjoy the activity! In the case that a child is consistently not following the rules, this will be communicated to parents and/or carers. If a child’s behaviour puts them or someone else at risk, this becomes more serious. An Incident Report Form will be completed and details of what has happened communicated to parents. If a child’s behaviour at camp consistently puts themselves, others or staff members at risk or causes significant disruption to a group, parents or carers will be contacted and a warning given to that child. If this then continues, we reserve the right to exclude a child from attending camp during this holiday period as a result.

While we always ensure high safety standards, there will inevitable be times when accidents happen! Our staff are all trained in the protocols for dealing with and reporting accidents and we always have paediatric first aiders onsite who administer any necessary first aid.

In the event of a minor accident, first aiders will assess the child’s injuries and treat them accordingly. An Incident Report Form will be filled out detailing how the accident happened, the injuries sustained, and the treatment given. This report will be shown to the person collecting the child at sign out time. We will communicate what happened and ask the parent or carer to sign the Incident Report Form to acknowledge our communication with them. In the event of your child bumping their head or for any injury from the neck up, we will always ensure we give you a courtesy call to let you know what has happened. After a head bump, staff monitor children closely – if staff have any concerns we will always contact you. At the end of the day, you will be asked to sign an Incident Report Form to acknowledge our communication with you. In the event of a serious accident, our first aiders will assess the situation, and if necessary emergency services will be called. You will always be contacted to be informed of the next steps.

If your child becomes ill whilst at camp, a first aider will monitor your child’s symptoms. If their illness is minor and they feel better after a rest and a drink, an Incident Report Form will be completed and will be available for you to sign on collection. In this instance, we will continue to monitor your child throughout the day and contact you if symptoms worsen. For anything more serious, you will be contacted and our camp teams will discuss with you whether or not they/you feel your child needs to be collected. Children will be able to wait in the first aid area for as long as required and will be monitored by camp staff. Again, an Incident Report Form will be available for you to sign on collection.

If you have bought Camp Beaumont FLEX you will have cover if your child is unable to attend through illness or injury - click here for more details. Camp Beaumont FLEX is not available for our Residential products, we recommend that you have your own Travel Insurance in place for these.
