Monday 28th July
First last day of camp 😔… but let’s not make anyone sad. Everyone had loads of fun today, especially during the evening activity.
🎨 Creative started the day with scrapbooking, designing beautiful pages filled with memories and colorful touches. In the afternoon, they got really into clay making, crafting trays, tic-tac-toe boards, and chess pieces. Some didn’t want to leave the art room!!
🏀 Sports had a basketball session in the morning and badminton in the afternoon,
🏹 Adventure had a focused morning with archery practice, followed by an exciting challenge on the high ropes course in the afternoon!
As evening settled in, campers gathered in the field for icebreaker games. They stayed on the field afterward, playing games, getting to know each other, and swapping spooky stories before calling it a night.
Tuesday 29th July
Tuesday was a bucket-list tick for many campers, with an end to the day that felt straight out of a movie.
Starting off with activities:
🎨 Creative began their morning by painting their clay creations from the previous dat and crafting jewellery with air-dry clay, then they got really into improv games in the afternoon.
🎾 All campers joined creative or adventure in the morning so there was no sports however campers got rallied on the football field after lunch.
🏹 Adventure tested their aim with archery in the morning before heading away for a refreshing and educational canoeing session.
Evening Activity:
We gathered around the campfire for performances and stories…until it started pouring down! However Instead of heading inside, campers embraced the rain by dancing, singing, and soaking up every drop before heading, soaked and smiling, to bed.
Nothing spells summer like dancing with friends in the warm rain under the stars. 🌠

Wednesday 30th July
You know those days where you start thinking, “What could possibly go wrong?” then everything goes right… but in the most unexpected, chaotic, and hilarious way? Yeah, today was that kind of day.
🎨 Creative got their hands messy crafting volcanoes that looked like they could erupt any second.
🏉 Sports were on the move with touch rugby in the morning before bounc into benchball battles that had everyone on their toes.
🥾 Adventure crew started their morning with an adventure walk and headed off to high ropes in the afternoon.
🌈 And then, as the sun started setting…everything turned to chaos as Colour Wars began!! Somewhere between the paint flying, flags disappearing, and a general sense of friendly competition, the camp turned into a battleground.
After a big win, some betrayal and some painful losses. Everyone went to bed and got some rest for the night.

Thursday 31st July
The camp vibe shifted today you could feel the countdown to the final day of camp in the air. Campers tried to keep that out of their minds and make the best of the day
🎨 Creative spent the day messing with clay to bring their stop motion characters to life and used up their afternoon making paper flowers.
🌊 Sports spent their morning in the pool with watersports before switching to court and field action: basketball, football, and benchball.
🧭 Adventure headed off to geocaching, hunting down hidden clues and working together, then cooled off with a peaceful paddle during afternoon canoeing.
🎭 For our evening we had theme night and the theme was…..Squid Games!!
The suspense and tensjon was real but in the best way. Campers rotated in teams through a series of challenges inspired by the show. It was competitive, theatrical, and full of laughter (and the occasional dramatic gasp).
With the Oscars coming up, tonight felt like the unofficial prelude. People were asked to the disco, some were reminded of their last day and others tried their best to enjoy their second last night…
Friday 1st August
The Grand Goodbye: It’s never easy saying goodbye and Friday proved just how much camp can mean. From morning laughs to evening tears, our final day was one we won’t forget.
There was only one morning session:
🎨 Creative, because for once, everyone chose the same thing. Campers sang their hearts out during karaoke, danced their socks off to Just Dance, and enjoyed one last big creative hangout together.
🏃♀️🏊♂️🚴♀️ In the afternoon, it was time for a mini triathlon, giving everyone one last blast of energy before the packing began. Campers started getting their things together, writing notes, swapping bracelets, and soaking in the final hours.
🌟 The Final Oscars
After dinner and phone time, we dressed up one last time for the Oscars. Emotions were high as we handed out awards, and this week’s Star Camper was one of the hardest choices yet, the nominations were filled with kind, fun, hardworking legends.
💃🪩 And finally… the last disco. There were hugs, tears, limbo lines, singalongs, and big group photos. Laughter mixed with tearful goodbyes as everyone celebrated the end of an unforgettable summer together.
What a ride.
