5 Reasons Parents & Guardians Choose Holiday Camps Over At-Home Childcare
When school’s out, finding the right childcare can feel like a challenge. For many families, holiday camps are still the go-to solution and it’s not hard to see why. At Activate Camps, we don’t just provide childcare; we create unforgettable experiences packed with fun, learning, and personal growth.
Here are five key reasons why parents choose holiday camps over at-home childcare:
1. An Experience, Not Just Supervision
Holiday camps aren’t just about keeping children busy while you’re at work, they’re about giving them an incredible time. From expert-led sports sessions to creativity-fuelled activities like cooking and dance, every day at Activate Camps is designed to engage, excite, and inspire.
2. A Break from Screens, A Boost in Activity
Let’s face it, working from home childcare can sometimes mean a lot of screen time! At camp, kids are active, learning new skills, and developing confidence in the real world. Whether they’re mastering a cricket technique or starring in a performance, they’re growing every day.
3. New Friends and Social Confidence
Camps are filled with children from different schools and backgrounds, giving children the chance to meet new friends and practise social skills in a friendly, supportive setting.

4. Flexible and Hassle-Free for Parents
Camps offer full-day options that fit neatly into working hours. No mid-afternoon dashes or juggling half-days. Plus, with clear booking systems, sibling discounts, and options for group bookings, camps are often more affordable than many realise.
5. Something for Every Child
Whether your child dreams of being the next sports star, loves to dance, or simply wants variety and fun, Activate Camps has something to suit every interest. With expert-led sessions in cricket, football, lacrosse, netball, cooking, performing arts and more…there’s a perfect fit for every personality.
