At Atlas Camps, we know how hard it can be to juggle work and family life - and how important it is to find childcare you can truly trust. That's why our October holiday clubs are designed to give parents complete peace of mind, while giving children the time of their lives. From fun-filled activity days and sports camps to safe, nurturing environments for little ones, we make sure every child is happy, active and cared for - so you can focus on work without the guilt.
With Ofsted-registered childcare across Gloucestershire and beyond, our friendly, qualified team go the extra mile to keep children engaged, smiling and safe. Whether you're booking for this October, or other school holidays, Atlas Camps is the stress-free solution for busy working parents. Affordable, flexible and packed with activities children love, we help you strike the perfect balance between work and family - and make sure your child can't wait to come back for more.
Our day starts between 8am (early drop off) and 9am (standard day) - meet our friendly coaches, store your things and get stuck in!
A quick hello from our Camp Manager to check all are present and correct, before chatting through what fun we've got in store.
No better way to start the day than with a blast of fresh air! Weather permitting, we'll all head out for a good run around before activities start.
Choices, choices! Our All-Stars break off into their first chosen activity of the day, able to move between what's on if they change their minds.
Refuel time! Having burned off some energy, we'll grab a quick drink and snack to power up ready for take two.
Nerf war? Painting? Dodgeball? Golden river? Loom bands? The options are endless!
Time for lunch for our All-Stars, where we'll pop on an (age appropriate) film of their choosing for a bit of chill time before a fun-filled afternoon.
Time for activity number three (or four, or five!) We'll always have plenty on offer to suit all tastes and ages, with a mixture of indoor and outdoor play.
It's decision time - what to go for? All-Stars can choose to continue what they're doing, or try their hand at something new!
Ending the day with another lovely blast of fresh air, making sure our campers are well and truly topped up when it comes to fun in the great outdoors.
Home time! Pick-ups range from 4pm (standard day) to 5pm (late stay), offering ultimate flexibility for our parents and caregivers.
At Atlas Camps, we are firm believers in fun for all! We wanted to create camps in October that offered children of all ages the chance to come along during the school holidays and spend their days doing activities that they love, without being pigeonholed to a particular sport or interest. So that's exactly what we've done, offering fun-filled multi-activity camps for children aged 3 to 14 where everyone's needs are tended to.
From our carefully designed Early Years activities for our youngest campers to exciting challenges and activities for older children, we create an environment where everyone feels included, engaged and excited to take part. With friendly, experienced staff on hand to support every child, we help build confidence, independence and friendships that last beyond the October camp itself.
What truly makes Atlas Camps special is the freedom of choice we offer. With a huge variety of activities available every day—from sports, arts and crafts, to team games and imaginative play—children can decide what they want to do, ensuring they're always engaged in something they love. Whether they're looking to burn off energy in an action-packed game, explore their creativity, or try something new, there's always an option to suit them at our October half-term clubs.
We're very proud to support the smartphone-free schools movement and, as a result, each of our October camp settings are smartphone-free zones! In a move welcomed by our parents and caregivers, no child in our care is able to have access to a smartphone or data-enabled device during the camp day.
With safety of our children at the forefront of this decision, we also feel passionately about the benefits of a smartphone-free childhood wherever possible, limiting screen time for our All-Stars during the day, allowing us all to be present with one another and - above all - protecting them from the potential dangers of the internet and social media.
Know a coaching superstar in the making? Our Rookie Coach programme is available for older All-Stars aged 13-15, designed to give them hands-on experience in a fun-filled childcare setting. They'll assist our coaching team with all of the day-to-day runnings of our October camp, but will mainly be on hand to ensure our little legends are having the most fun possible! The perks? Fantastic experience to set them up for a future coaching career, as well as 50% off each day at camp. Head to our contact page to check out how to apply.
