As you embark on post-summer adventures, bid farewell to the traditional camps and say hello to organising your very own "holiday" camp experiences within the cozy confines of your home! Whether you seek ideas for a delightful family day or are planning a rendezvous with friends, here are some camp-inspired activities that promise fun and bonding.

At Camp Beaumont, our ethos revolves around six activity outcomes which form the bedrock of our programme planning. Let’s delve into how these principles can guide you in crafting your personalised camp activities right within your home’s embrace!

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #1: CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Build a Fort and Spend the Night

Have you dared to swap your snug bed for a night under a DIY fort? Challenge your family to construct a cozy fort using bedsheets, boxes, or any imaginative materials at your disposal. The goal? Create a snug retreat where you can sleep under the stars, right in your living room!

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #2: GET OUTDOORS

Embark on a Hike with a Paper Map and Compass

In a world reliant on digital aids, honing orienteering skills remains invaluable. Grab a paper map, a trusty compass, and set off on a hiking adventure! Alternatively, chart a path from home to a new playground or park using a printed map for a rewarding outdoor escapade and a mini picnic treat.

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #3: GET CONNECTED

Spin the Bottle of Questions

Foster family bonds through meaningful dialogues. Create a jar brimming with thought-provoking questions and take turns answering them by spinning a bottle. Encourage open communication and deepen connections with prompts like sharing cherished memories or expressing desires for home additions.

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #4: GET ACTIVE

Engage in a Shared Sport

From outdoor pursuits to virtual games, options abound for active family fun. If running is your forte, head to the park for a spirited game of tag. Embrace the joy of movement and friendly competition together.

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #5: RELAX AND UNWIND

Bond over Jigsaw Puzzles, LEGO, and Cosmic Yoga

Amidst bustling city life, find solace in calming activities. Unwind with shared moments like reading together, piecing together intricate puzzles, or embarking on soothing yoga sessions. Cultivate mindfulness and tranquility in your home sanctuary.

ACTIVITY OUTCOME #6: EXPRESS YOURSELVES

Create Stop-Motion Video Projects

Merge art forms for self-expression by embarking on a collaborative stop-motion video project. Blend singing, dancing, drawing, and painting into a unique visual narrative that captures your collective creativity.

Embrace the essence of camp-like adventures within your abode with these engaging activities. Share your experiences with us—we'd love to hear your stories post-experimentation!

Thank you so much for having our daughter at your summer camp. She was very excited when she returned and enthusiastically showed and told us everything she did at camp. Many thanks to the whole team for looking after her, the varied and lovely programme and the nice and warm atmosphere at camp.
