We Are Open!

Having been closed for the past 4 months due to the COVID Lockdown, we are super excited to announce that we are reopening again! As the lockdown is now easing, we intend to bring back our extra-curricular clubs, PE lessons and Holiday Camps.

We are keen to get children playing again. Having fun, learning through sport and being empowered with the skills and attributes that are vital in helping promote a positive attitude towards themselves and others.

Through participation at our camps, clubs or PE lessons we hope that children develop their confidence and are enabled to experience achievement and success that can be translated into many areas of their future lives.

So here is the details regarding how we are reopening and where you can book to attend the different activities we have available.

FAQs

What does the schedule of a holiday camp day look like?

Following registration, Children take part in organised warm up games and activities before then playing more fun activities related to the theme of the day. Break time is usually around 10:45am with lunch between 12:30pm - 1:30pm. All activities throughout the day are organised and led by coaches, with the children participating in teams or individually with clear objectives of every activity.

What are the ratios of coaches to children?

We follow a 1:15 ratio when working with children, however we aim to keep it to 1:12 on most days where possible. We have a minimum of three staff per location.

Do all of your staff have the necessary checks?

All of our staff hold a current DBS check and lead coaches of each venue have a paediatric first aid certificate. A large majority of our lead coaches hold degrees in Physical education or related disciplines, some are qualified teachers working in schools throughout term time.

How do I pay with Childcare Vouchers or Tax free Childcare?

To pay with childcare vouchers and tax free childcare, all you need to do is select which sessions you would like on the website then apply the coupon code for childcare vouchers, for this season it is MAY2026. Then you have 5 business days to make the transfer with your voucher company. You will then get an email to confirm you booking when the vouchers have been received.

How much is a camp day?

This depends on the camp venue it ranges from £30-£37 a day per child.

Does my child need a packed lunch?

Yes please, We play hard all day so the children need lots to eat. We give the children a morning break so please pack a heathy snack to eat. We do ask, that you do not pack any nuts or nut products in your child’s lunch bag, and no fizzy drinks too. The children as well need a refillable water bottle to use through out the day.

What clothing does my child need to bring?

It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child is provided with appropriate clothing and footwear for their selected activity; usually this is simply jogging trousers, t-shirt and sports trainers. Children must bring their own shin pads when playing football. They might want to bring an extra change of clothes and a towel to the wet and wacky days.

Are there any consent forms I need to fill out?

You will now be asked to complete an online consent form the first time you book your child with our new booking system. We also ask you complete a paper copy on your first day so we have both accessible on location. We like to also have a paper copy as this is our first point of reference when outside playing games, if we need to access any medical information. You can find a link to the consent form in our footer.

If I booked already can I change the day I would like?

Usually it isn't a problem for us to transfer your booking to another day. Simply email and request and we will do our best to make this happen for you.

Are the venues safe and secure?

We only use venues that are closed to the public, usually primary or secondary schools. Following registration either the front gate and/or front door is locked. We only use certain halls, fields and areas of the school and at all times children at supervised. Children are not allowed to wander the school or go into classrooms.

Do you have a new booking system and how does it work?

When you go to book for clubs or holiday camps, you will be now directed to a new booking system on the Active Network Software. Following your first time booking, the system will store your details, making booking in future much easier. This new system allows us to communicate better the days you have booked and allows us to securely set the number of places for each venue for each day. So please be sure to book early in case a day fills up.

Reviews

My Children have been going to these camps for several years and absolutely love them! The staff are so friendly and super organised!

Nina, Parent

From the moment you sign your child in at camp you can tell how good the day is going to be. You see all the Karts and tracks all set up and the coaches immediately connect with the children and make them feel so at home!

Sian, Parent

My boys always come home happy and worn out! Which is a good thing! They always have the best time and tell us the different things they have done throughout the day.

Kelly, Parent

A brilliant experience for kids during school holidays. Excellent value for money, the staff are fun and friendly and they have creative ways of keeping the kids entertained throughout the week

Jessica A

We've recently booked Venture Camp in Tenterden for the Easter holiday and our boy loved it from day 1. He was upset that I came to collect early and wanted to stay as long as possible from then onwards. Staff were super friendly, knew his name and created a fun environment. He was buzzing with excitement about his day and I'm so glad we chose to send him there. Bring on the summer holidays :-)

Mareen M

It was my sons first experience of attending a club, I thought he would be anxious as he can be quiet at times but I was so wrong. He woke up every morning excited about going, he loves being outdoors and loves activity’s especially sport. He was so keen of going again and he said he made new friends which was lovely to hear. The fact he’s asked to go again means a great deal. I’ve already recommended venture camp to another parent at the school. He’s already looking forward to May.

Louise S

We love Venture Camp Sandwich! The staff are super welcoming and fun, there is a range of activities, lots of sports but also some crafty stuff and our kid looks forward to going in the holidays.

Katy F

I was really pleased that we chose Tenterden Venture Camps for my son for some days in the holidays He came back having had a fun day, outdoors with activities to take part in if he chose but also the freedom to just play. I liked that there was options for single day bookings as well as multiple and the 8:30am drop off. The staff were very friendly and I felt over all it was very professional.

Beth H

Venture camps has been an amazing holiday club which allows children to socialise out of school with other children. My son does not mix well with others so being able to keep this up for him is of the upmost importance to me. He is autistic and adhd so his body needs the exercise and brain thrives on challenges. He would be glued to his computer without Venture Camps

Kelly H

Fantastic holiday camp! Friendly staff, great activities and a fun, safe environment. My son loved every minute and came home smiling every day! Highly organised, caring team with loads of exciting activities.

Charlotte M

My son attended the Bearsted camp in February half term. He enjoyed it so much and was very excited to attend again during the Easter break. I will continue using this camp for all future half terms. The communication, staff and range of activities are all top notch. My son always comes home happy and well worn out. Couldn't ask for better

Paige M

A fun, welcoming environment that my daughter is happy to go to. She loves the activities and the familiarity of the camp and people who work there plus the community that it creates - she meets kids from other schools in the area which is nice.

Carrie H

All 3 of my children have loved going to Venture Camps. From all the fun activities, new friends and the lovely staff (Stuart is the biggest hit with my kids!). Plus Meagan makes everything easy from my side with booking or any issues that I have. Highly recommend.

Natasha S

My two boys (6 and 7 years old) have been at the Tenterden camp a number of times now. Its a great little setting with a friendly feel and I never worry about them when they are there. Dropping them off is quick and easy as they love to attend, which is a huge relief as I need to drop off and dash to my job! The staff are also very professional and are engaging with the kids. This is a great holiday club option for us as a family.
