Summer camps for kids: keep them amused while they learn

studentnurse

My sister rang them yesterday, and was told that the cost of the week is usually in excess of £400.

Hi, if your kids had some holidays in the camp like on that website? Is it really safe and relationships is ok in the group and with leader?
My son is almost 14 and he has some doubts that teenagers of his age are not there but just younger kids?
Thanx…….:)

the courses cater for 12-17 age group

they will be split into 12-14 and 15-17 (assuming there is enough there)

Bump!

If you are a member of the UNISON union, this offer just got better!

Quote from Unison Welfare website:

Families in receipt of housing benefit, income support, or free school lunches would normally have to pay £25 but UNISON Welfare is offering to cover the £25 fee, and in addition pay for travel costs to the pick-up points and provide pocket money.

Other families would normally have to pay the full cost of £100 per person but UNISON Welfare will contribute £50 to families that are on low-pay but not on means-tested benefits.

The first activity week starts on the 17 July running through to 28 August so all bookings should be made as soon as possible.

To find out if your are eligible for the additional help call UNISON Welfare on 020 7551 1620. To save time have your benefits and any income-related information to hand when you call.

HI,
I would like to give a HUGE BIG THANKYOU for who ever posted the information summer camp. I've just had confirmation both my boys have got on to the multi- activity camp at Edale in August. Both boys are very excited. We do not get holidays very often ( been away for 2 days & 3 days in total in 15 years). So with a bit of money i've made on e-bay I can now send the children on what sounds like a great fun time.

My youngest and her friend got their places on the performing arts course.Thanks for the thread,Martin.
Other 2 daughters didn`t want to go and are now moaning that I won`t give them the money instead.Tough luck,girls.
