Children can arrive from 9:30am (8:30am for those who have the AM extended day option). You will be asked to sign your child/children in with the Camp Director at the Registration Desk. After they have stored their bags, they will be taken to the play area to join the other children.
At 09:45 all the children are assembled and to get the day off to a good fun start a couple of Group Leaders run a game for the whole camp - a big favourite is "Capture the Flag".
The children then assemble in their groups to participate in the pre-planned activity sessions. Each session lasts 45 minutes to ensure that children enjoy a wide range of activities and that there is sufficient variety in the day for all weathers; rain or sun.
There are morning and afternoon breaks where the whole camp comes together for a 15 minute break and well deserved snack and drink.
Children bring their own packed lunch, which ensures they get the right fuel to keep them going all day! This is eaten in a large group under careful supervision.
Favourite activities can be repeated in the "Free Choice" session.
Each week there is a theme, for example Knights & Princesses, Outer Space, Beach Party with games and activities based around the theme of the week including “Dress Up Wednesday”.
At every Pied Piper site we have a separate programme for every age with activities tailored to that age group so that the youngest child on camp can have just as much fun as the oldest.
Each camp finishes on Friday afternoon with the finale of the Mini Olympics and the Talent Show, where each of the groups present a sketch or song that they have been preparing during the week. Parents and siblings are always welcome to attend. The time of the Show will be displayed on the Camp noticeboard, but is usually 3:45pm.
