Summer Camps Parents Guide

Dear Parents,
Just 4 Fun Kids Summer Camp is a Multi-Sports Camp. Your child is our number one priority. We have designed the best multi-sports summer camp available and growing each year. We have a structured day with fun games that brings positivity to our summer camps and enhances your child’s experience.

We pride ourselves on our child first policy, Our professional staff are trained to ensure the children feel safe and positive to express themselves at the camp. It’s all about taking part and having FUN in our summer camp. The programme is designed to ensure a full day of high energy, exciting, thrilling activities which are changed up every day.

The camp will run from Monday to Friday beginning each day at 9:30 am and concludes at 15:00 pm. Children will not be taken into the camp before 9:30 am and must be collected by 3:00 pm. Just 4 Fun Kids Camp Ltd is not responsible for children outside of these times.

Registration and Group Organisation

Registration will take place on the first morning of the camp. Each child will be allocated a group for the week.
We can arrange for children to be with their friends as we know how important it is for children to be in the right group. It is very important for us as well, we know then the children are happy and comfortable which makes it easier for them to settle in for the week. Children are grouped according to their age. This would be the best practice method to suit the range of creative and physical activities. Children often ask to be placed with their family member or friend which is no problem, provided they are roughly the same age.

On the first morning of the summer camp registration takes place. The kids are divided into groups according to their age. Our camp manager will welcome all the kids to our camp and introduce our staff and tell them of the day events. Activities begin no later than 10.30 a.m. on the first day.

Any outstanding balance must be paid in full on the first morning. Any queries you might have will be answered in full.
