Summer Camp
Mon 3rd - Fri 29th August
Looking for a holiday activity that’s more than just childcare?
Our YMS Summer Creative Camp is a fun, high-energy experience where children explore music, creativity and performance in a supportive and inspiring environment. Students will build confidence, make new friends and discover new skills through a mix of music, arts and imaginative play.
Each day is packed with variety, around our weekly themes. From creating sound effects and building instruments, to designing their own T-shirts, taking part in karaoke and lip sync battles, playing as a band, learning about Brazilian Samba and enjoying outdoor games and mindful moments. With a balance of structured sessions and creative freedom, every child has the chance to shine.
The camp builds towards a special end-of-week performance, where parents are invited to watch their child take to the stage and celebrate everything they’ve created on the Friday.
Whether your child already loves music or is just starting their creative journey, this camp is designed to be inclusive, engaging and, most importantly, fun.
Booking Terms: Early Bird Discount must be paid in full. All other bookings are subject to a non-refundable £20 deposit, with the remaining payment due 14 days before your first day at camp.
