What Happens at a Kids' Holiday Camp? A Typical Day Explained

09 November 2026

If you're booking a holiday camp for the first time, it's natural to wonder what a typical day looks like. From exciting activities to making new friends, kids' activity camps are designed to keep children engaged, active and having fun from start to finish.

At SuperCamps, every day is packed with a variety of holiday camp activities, giving children the chance to try something new while building confidence and creating lasting memories.


What Time Do Holiday Camps Start and Finish?

Camp times vary by venue, so we recommend checking your chosen venue page before booking. Most camps run for a full day, with extended care available at many locations to support working families.

When children arrive, they're welcomed by our friendly Team Leaders before the day's fun begins.


What Activities Do Children Do at Holiday Camp?

Each day typically includes up to six exciting activities, giving children the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic mix of sports, creative challenges and team games.

Our Multi-Activity Camps include activities such as:

  • Team games
  • Arts and crafts
  • Outdoor adventures
  • Archery*
  • Swimming* (selected venues)
  • Scavenger hunts
  • Problem-solving challenges
  • Active games and challenges

Every week also has its own unique theme, with the timetable following activities inspired by that week's adventure, making every visit feel fresh and exciting.

*Activities vary depending on venue and age.


Are Children Grouped by Age?

Yes. Children are grouped with others of a similar age so activities are appropriate, engaging and enjoyable for everyone.

This also helps children make friends with others their own age throughout the day.


What Happens at Lunch and Break Times?

Children bring a packed lunch, snacks and a refillable water bottle. There are regular breaks throughout the day to eat, recharge and spend time with new friends before the next activity begins.

Our team Leaders supervise children throughout the day to ensure everyone is safe, happy and included.


What If My Child Does Not Know Anyone?

Many children come to camp on their own, so they certainly won't be the only one!

Our team help everyone settle in by encouraging teamwork and introducing fun group activities from the very start of the day. It doesn't take long for children to get chatting, playing together and making new friends.
