Our staff will make sure that you have a great time and will make your sessions a combination of instruction and coaching followed by team games. These are aimed for you to have fun with others boys and girls your own age, and there will be a special welcome for everyone beginning this programme after perhaps 2 or 3 years of Super 4's and Superkids.

If you enjoy working with your hands and like designing and creating all sorts of things, and are fond of sharing ideas with other boys and girls in a drama group, then this programme is designed specially for you. Its combination of arts & crafts with drama and some sport has proved to be very popular in recent years. Your four sessions a day work out as one for arts & craft, one for drama and two for sport so that you can enjoy some fresh air during the day. This programme allows for at least two swims a week.

Through the years

Over the years we have developed very popular programmes for our 5 and 6 year old campers, with a wide range of activities for both indoors and outdoors. There will be a chance to try out kwik cricket, short tennis, soccer, plus nature trails and treasure hunts, while the pace indoors is less strenuous and aimed more at relaxation. Here the Superkids will explore creativity at arts & crafts, and have some fun through acting, story telling, singing, and performing arts.

A Familiar Spot

Each group of 5 & 6 year olds will have their own base at where they will feel relaxed and safe. A fully qualified and experienced primary school teacher is in charge of each group, supported by caring and sensitive staff who are chosen for their skills, ability, and experience in dealing with the needs of younger children. We have a 1:8 ratio for the Superkids, and many staff return year after year to implement these programmes.

Swimtime

The Superkids will have a short swimming session each day supervised by a qualified swimming instructor. All Superkids staff will be present to supervise and encourage, and at least one member of staff will join the children in the shallow end to ensure safety and help to develop confidence. The Superkids will use this pool time in small groups which are assessed by the instructor who will then teach and encourage.

Activities

The leader of each age group is responsible for devising and implementing a weekly programme which will provide a wide range of fun and stimulating activities. The children will be introduced to basic ball skills through a number of both indoor and outdoor sports, and this year we will extend our parachute games which are ideal for encouraging quieter children to participate in group activities.

Where?

The Superkids programme is available at at Campbell College, Friends School & Victoria College.

Note : Parents whose children are older 6's may wish to consider enrolling them with older children on Programme 1. Contact us if you need clarification.

Funtime

Our Super 4's programme is designed to let energetic 4 year olds play and have fun. Under the care of a fully qualified and experienced nursery or primary school teacher, the children will be based in their own special area at Cabin Hill surrounded by a variety of play equipment to help them develop as children, stretch their imagination, and make lots of new friends.

Inside and Outside

There's lots of fresh air and exercise as the Super 4's explore a range of outdoor activities. There will be outdoor games and nature trails with activity time kept short to acknowledge the attention level of this age group. These activities will be balanced with indoor relaxation, with quieter moments devoted to art work, story telling, and gentle indoor games played out in a safe and familiar environment.

Splashtime

The Super 4's will have a chance to swim each day in a short session devoted entirely to their group. They will have a gentle introduction to the shallow end of the pool, under the watchful eye of our qualified swimming instructor. All Super 4's staff will be present throughout the session, with at least one member of staff joining the children in the water to ensure safety. There will be a chance for the more adventurous to try a few swim strokes, but the session is aimed mainly at introducing the children to water and helping them build confidence.

Staff you can depend on

Our staff will aim to let the Super 4's experience an enjoyable and stimulating day, and will be aware of a child's need to feel happy and safe until home time. We will have a ratio of 1:6 for the Super 4's for reasons of safety, and to recognise the special needs of our youngest campers. In addition to their qualified leader, the Super 4's will feel confident and happy with staff who provide the personal attention they need.

Where?

Programme 4 will be at Campbell College and Victoria College.
