Weekly themes and Friday Finale at camp for 2023
We're all about the fun at Barracudas. Kids are entertained and energised with our unrivalled activities every day.
We like to shake things up at our holiday clubs! Each week, children can enjoy activities tweaked to our weekly theme. Whether they're joining us for a day or the whole holiday, our weekly themes mean there's always something fresh and exciting going on.
Barracudas has always been about choice, with children getting to choose their activity for each of our 6 daily sessions. Our fun spin on a variety of activities are a great addition and give them the opportunity to be part of something special and unique each week.
The excitement builds up to our Friday Finales. With a unique special event, there's always a buzz on the last day of the week at camp. On top of that, kids are invited to dress up on the last day of the week by coming in outfits that match the theme. Of course, it's their choice to dress up (did we mention we're all about choice?!) and they can also make props matching the theme in the arts and crafts sessions. We love seeing their imaginations run wild.
Here's snapshot of what's in store for 2023:
Easter weekly themes
3rd - 6th April: Future Me
What do they want to be when they grow up? This week's theme is Future Me. We've got fun activities in store that could ignite some future careers. They could be taking part in a superstar talent show, science experiments, mini-olympics, art attack and the apprentice. Friday's their chance to step into the future by coming to camp as a footballer, artist, musician, inventor, scientist... or Camp Manager maybe!
11th - 14th April: Fit for a King or Queen
Friday's Theme Day is Fit For a King or Queen. This week children might take part in activities such as crown making in arts and crafts, speed staking, royal bunting making and Kin(g)ball. On Friday, we invite children to let their imagination run wild and come to camp as knights, dragons, Cinderella, Queen of Hearts, a court jester or even go regal in royal colours.
May Half Term weekly theme:
29th May – 2nd June: Around the world
With our Around the world theme, we will celebrate countries, cultures and communities around the world. Where have they been to, where would they love to explore? Maybe they'll make flags in arts and crafts, or play capture the flag. On Friday we would love to see anything that represent cultures around the world. Come in colours of flags, as national animals or even emblems.
Summer weekly themes:

24th – 28th July: Animal avatar
Camp is going wild this week! We’re channelling our inner creatures and will be roaring and soaring through a full on week of fun. Maybe they'll try some animal acting in dance and drama, favourite animal face paints, create animal masks or even run wild in our outdoor activities!
