Councils

Holiday camps, HAF places and programmes for the children you serve, run by our own Mentors.

Enhanced DBS checked Mentors. Ofsted registered, URN 2715831. HAF camps in the school holidays.

What we run for councils

Three ways to work with us, and where we run them today.

Holiday camps
In the school holidays, at our centres. Half days of four hours, or full days of eight.
HAF places
Children on benefits-related free school meals come free, with a hot meal, using a HAF code.
Programmes
Weekly clubs, terms and workshop days in the schools and groups you support.
Where we run today
At our centres and at venues in Birmingham, Solihull, Walsall and Liverpool.

Every camp day is a project sprint, with something working by the end.

Robotics
Circuits, sensors and code, up to robots that react to the world on their own.
Game development
Worlds built and scripted in Roblox Studio, then whole games in Unity.
Cyber security
How networks are built in Cisco Packet Tracer, and how passwords are cracked and kept safe.
3D printing
Design in CAD, print in 3D, then test what they made under load.

Three steps from your first message to children in the room.

Holiday camps run with

A few questions, so we answer with what fits. The centre nearest you replies to you personally. If no centre is within 30 miles, we reply ourselves.

Do you take HAF codes?: Yes. A family books a free HAF place on our camps site, with the code from their school or council.
Can families book through our own portal?: Yes. Some councils take bookings on their own portal, and we run the camp.
Which ages do you work with?: Ages 6 to 17. Children are grouped by age.
Is every camp the same?: Every camp runs robotics and coding. The rest changes, so returning children get something new.
How much does it cost?: We quote for each programme, and the quote comes with your pack.
