We do our best to accommodate friend requests made prior to arriving on camp, making every effort to group friends together. However, there are rare occasions where camp numbers, child safety and ratios mean that this is not possible. Many children attending our camps do not know one another and will be encouraged to make new friends.

We strive for the following coach: child ratios

• 1:8 for children aged 5-7
• 1:12 for children aged 8-10
• 1:15 for children aged 11+

On camp we have a first aid qualified staff member who is trained to deal with accidents and illnesses. Should your child suffer a serious injury or illness you will be contacted immediately. All accidents are reported using our Proactive health and safety management platform, which allows staff to report all incidents to head office. Please ensure you make us aware of any medical conditions or relevant medication prior to camp.

Please call our customer support team on 0121 227 4385 and they will get in touch with the camp manager on your behalf.

We create a child focused camp where we encourage all children to build their independence and therefore actively discourage parents/guardians staying around on camp. Our venues restrict visitors on camp, due to both safeguarding and capacity reasons, so for the most part, we are unable to entertain parents/guardians on site. On selected camps, we have showcase events at the end of the week (netball tournament, food experience, cricket world cup) where we will actively invite you along to watch. All visits, if agreed, are heavily monitored for safeguarding reasons, with clear restrictions on parents. If you have further questions on this, please contact our Customer Support Team on info@activatecamps.co.uk to find out more.

We have indoor provisions in place for any bad weather. At the majority of venues this includes a sports hall, which will enable us to continue delivery with little impact.

You can contact the team at Activate Camps either by phone, email, or post.

All lost property found on site will be shown to the children daily, and displayed at sign out on the final day of their stay to ensure any belongings are reunited with their owners. After this, any remaining lost property will be taken to head office and held for 2 months before being donated to a charity of our choice

In response to the unique challenge of Covid-19, we have developed and tested Covid-19 specific operating procedures. These will be integrated into our standard operating procedures and combined into staff training to ensure the safety of our children, parents and staff.

If a camp is cancelled due to Covid-19 you will have the option to receive credit towards a future camp or receive a full refund.

We understand that you may be hesitant to book your child’s place in the current climate which is why we’ve introduced our COVID money back guarantee.

In the event a Course cannot proceed due to any legal rules put in place by the UK Government to prevent the spread of Covid-19 then you will be entitled to receive a full refund. Furthermore, if you or a member of your household has Covid-19 symptoms or is self-isolating, Activate Camps will apply a credit to your booking valid for 12 months from the date on which the written confirmation is received. We request the confirmation in writing via email to info@activatecamps.co.uk along with evidence from Track and Trace.

We hope this puts your mind at ease and allows you to ensure your child’s place in our camps next year, we look forward to seeing you there!

Children will be required to sanitise their hands when they arrive and reminded to wash their hands throughout the day. We will undertake regular cleaning of equipment. To ensure everyone has fun in a safe environment our staff will supervise handwashing, monitor children for signs of infection and make sure that we are complying with the latest government guidance.
