Camp timetable

A day at camp

The exact order and activities change by date. A typical four-hour session balances energy, pauses, practical tasks and a shared close.

  1. 1
    Arrive and connect

    Welcome, names and simple ground rules

    Staff introduce the plan so children know what to expect and how the group will work together.

  2. 2
    Get active

    Games, sport or a movement challenge

    Multi-sport, team activity and selected roller sessions create energy without making one activity the whole day.

  3. 3
    Try something different

    Creative, enterprise or life-skills task

    A practical workshop gives children a different way to contribute, solve a problem or make something.

  4. 4
    Finish well

    Group challenge, reflection and collection

    We finish with time to share achievements, collect belongings and meet the authorised adult.

For parents and carers

Before your child attends

Use the event page and the joining information for the date you book.

Book the right date

Check the live date, venue, age guidance, times, price or eligibility and booking status.

Share support needs

Tell the booking team about medical, access, communication or collection needs, including any special educational needs or disabilities.

Use the joining details

Food, clothing, medication and equipment requirements can change, so use the confirmation for that date.

Bookings are managed by an adult

A responsible adult completes the booking and follows the stated sign-in, consent and collection process.

Inclusion and support

Support for different needs

Some children arrive ready to lead. Others need to watch first, understand the schedule or meet one person before joining the wider group. Good delivery leaves room for both.

01A clear welcome and walkthrough

02Simple group expectations

03Activity choice where the programme allows

04A quieter reset point where the venue allows

05Adult discussion before the date when support needs are known

Adjustments depend on the activity, venue, staffing and information supplied. They are confirmed before attendance rather than promised by a general webpage.

Useful answers

Before you book.

Use the event page and joining information for the date you choose.

What ages can attend ACTION Holiday Camps?

The age range can vary by camp, venue and funding route. Use the live event card and booking page for the exact age guidance before booking. An adult should contact Nu FOCUS if the child is close to an age boundary.

What happens during a camp day?

A typical programme combines a welcoming group start, active games or sport, a practical creative or life-skills activity, breaks and a shared finish. Selected dates may include roller activities. The mix changes by date, so use the event page and joining information for the camp you book.

How do I share SEND, medical or access needs?

A parent or carer should share relevant support, medical, access, communication and collection information through the approved booking route before the camp. Nu FOCUS will confirm what adjustments can be provided safely for that date and venue.

Are all ACTION Camps free or HAF-funded?

No. Some dates may be funded or have separate eligibility rules, while others may be paid places. The event page shows the current price, eligibility and booking route for that date.

What should a child bring?

Use the joining information for the booked date. Clothing, food, drink, medication and activity equipment can differ by venue and programme. Do not rely on details from an older camp or social post.
