Optional Extras at Barracudas
At Barracudas Holiday camps we know everyone is different, that’s why we have over 80+ activities and offer a choice for every session.
We know every family is different and we are here to make your life as busy parents slightly easier so you can have a stress–free (well almost) summer too!
We have a few optional extras you can add on at the time of booking or book later should you wish.
Early and Late clubs
With our standard activity camp hours running from 8.30 - 5.30 we know that this might not fit in with everyone's working day.
As an additional service at our UK school holiday camps, we run Early and Late Clubs. Perfect for allowing a bit of breathing space for you as busy parents, and to ensure you are not running around like a headless chicken most days!
The Early and Late clubs allow a little bit more flexibility, opening at 8am and closing at 6pm. These are flexible and can be booked on the days you require them.
It’s an additional £5 for each morning or afternoon session you book, which can be done at the point of booking, flexibility is key.
That is maximum fun for kids and peace of mind for you!
Flex booking option
We understand that things change, and especially with children this can be right up to the last minute. So, our Flex booking option is here to support you, giving you peace of mind for just £4 per day.
Our Flex option means you can amend your booking right up to the last working day before your child is due to attend in any given week. Plus, Flex allows for amendments or a refund to be made if your child is ill and cannot attend.
Take a look at Booking with Flex our Booking Info FAQs for more information on this along with other booking details.
Camp Kit
Check out this years camp kit available to purchase at the same time as your booking.
We have t shirts, and water bottles you can buy separately, or a full camp kit including a bag and cap. Available in Barracudas red or blue - again, it's all about choice. Just add them to your booking and we will send them to you directly in the post.
Skills Builders
As holiday camps go, we have a great line up of activities available. One of our aims here at Barracudas is to help your child develop new skills and increase confidence in different skills.
We offer skill specific courses for kids of all ages who attend a full week at camp. These skills courses have 5 progressive sessions. Each day they will take part in a skills builder's session in place of one of the standard sessions at camp.
This year we have plenty to choose from:
Plus, we have some ‘Fun-tastic’ new activities for 2023!
