What to Expect on Your Child’s First Day

Forres Sandle Manor School, February 2025

Sending your child to an Educamps day camp is a thrilling experience for both of you! From the moment they arrive at Forres Sandle Manor School, they will be welcomed by our enthusiastic and experienced Team Leaders, who are ready to ensure they have an unforgettable day filled with adventure, exploration, and fun in the great outdoors. Here’s what you can expect their first day to look like:

Arrival & Welcome

The day kicks off with a warm welcome from our Team Leaders. Kids are introduced to their fellow campers and given a rundown of the exciting activities lined up for the day. Our friendly team ensures every child feels comfortable, included, and ready to dive into the action!

Morning Adventures Begin!

After the initial welcome, it’s time to get moving. The morning may include thrilling activities such as:

  • Axe Throwing: Kids test their aim and precision with our beginner-friendly axe throwing sessions.
  • Obstacle Courses & Inflatable Slides: A test of agility and balance as they navigate fun and exciting challenges.
  • Pancake making: flipping delicious treats for a fun and tasty experience! 

Our varied programme changes throughout the week, so there’s always something new to experience!

Lunch in the Great Outdoors

All that adventure works up an appetite! We provide a hearty hot lunch served in the fresh air. We also ensure dietary requirements are catered for if notified in advance.

Afternoon Excitement

The action continues with more engaging activities, such as:

  • Den Making & Bushcraft: Learning survival skills by constructing shelters and mastering fire-building techniques.
  • Forest Treasure Hunts: A chance to explore nature while solving exciting clues along the way.
  • Slime Making: kids get hands-on with slime-making fun, mixing, stretching, and creating their own colorful, gooey masterpieces! 

Throughout the day, our Team Leaders bring caring encouragement to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and excited to take on new challenges.
