Barracudas Easter Weekly Themes!
Spring is in the air, and that means Easter is just around the corner! At Barracudas, we’ve got even more fun lined up with our Weekly Themes.
Children will enjoy a totally unique experience at Barracudas this Easter, with each camp will delivering its own twists on our popular activities. Of course, we'll still be offering our unrivalled range activities and with a choice every session, children can always select their favourites and do what they love most!
Weekly Theme fun!
It's our aim to 'give every child such an amazing experience they can't wait to come back'. Our Weekly Themes are just another way we make sure children are living their best lives at camp. They'll still have everything they would expect at camp and non-themed options are also part of our timetable.
We pepper in fun tweaked activities throughout the week and all groups will also take part in a camp-wide 'Big Art' project. This masterpiece will be displayed in the registration area throughout the week, allowing everyone to see its vibrant progression!
On top of that, there's additional fun on the last day of each week with our 'Friday Finale' event, where kids can immerse themselves in the theme and have the option to dress up - but we're all about choice and this is, of course, absolutely optional!
Throughout both weeks, children will have access to our unrivalled range of activities, meaning that there’s always something exciting to do.
