Action-packed camps & clubs for kids and teens in Bucks – school holidays sorted!

Whether it’s a week-long residential camp or daytimes only there are a host of outdoor activities, adventure days, sports, trips and outdoor learning activities waiting to be discovered at Action4Youth The Caldecotte Xperience.

Helping solve the summer holiday childcare blues, this charitable organisation has fully trained, qualified and professional staff, all with enhanced DBS checks, who have expertise to share in a host of activities for a wide age range. They all have experience in working with a wide range of complex needs and behavioural challenges to ensure every single child gets the most from their summer of fun and adventure.

Your children will have the chance to learn new skills, make friends, try new activities and above all have fun in a safe and nurturing environment.

But with limited places on the clubs and camps booking your slot now is essential to ensure you can find the perfect work/childcare balance this summer.

Here we break down the basics of the three different clubs and camps available, which will run throughout the summer holidays from July 21 to August 29, and you can find more information or book a place for your child here.

Adventure Clubs – ages 8-16

Your child could be spending their summer days out on the water – sailing, kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding – or on dry land trying their hand at archery, climbing, abseiling, bouldering, orienteering, bushcraft and more.

With convenient drop-off at 366 Simpson Road, MK6 3AG they offer a full day of action and adventure, in an age-appropriate group and will run Mondays to Fridays.

Booking is totally flexible, you might book for a single day, or the whole programme, it’s up to you! But whatever you do you can relax in the knowledge that your child is in safe hands and having fun, whilst building skills, confidence and making new friends. All they need is suitable clothing and lunch and they’re off!

Camp Caldecotte! – now from age 10 to 15

What kid doesn’t love the adventure of a night or two under the stars? At Camp Caldecotte they can live their camping dreams, with everything provided and organised – the festival-style bell tents, the meals, the activities, and of course, those same professional, qualified and experienced staff.

With camps for two age groups these week-long residential adventures offer a host of activities and opportunities.

New for this year Pioneers is for ages 10-12. Pioneers and Trailblazers (ages 13-15) spend five days and four nights in a safe location, a fun, festival style tented village, with a huge range of sports and activities including water sports and land-based activities such as caving and climbing. There are also team sports, campfires, a movie night, arts and crafts AND a trip out to Whipsnade Zoo in this action-packed week.

They won’t want to come home! Find out more and book here.

Summer Camp – ages 16-17

These summer camps for teens are the ultimate holiday experience, offering a range of challenging adventure and lifeskill learning activities in a festival-style camping village.

As well as outdoor activities such as paddle boarding, climbing and caving there will also be sessions on practical first aid, leadership skills and budgeting, helping equip your teenager for the next stage of their lives.

And, as a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Approved Activity Provider (AAP), the camps also qualify as a Gold Award residential, so your child could get that ticked off their DofE list too!

The five day, four night, camps are available from July 28 to August 22. For more information and to book click here
