Who are the supervisors?

We are a small team of actors and child care workers who work in the performance industry. When we are not performing, we try to bring a taste of the acting and performance industry to families across the world! Parents can feel content with a safe and productive form of child care in the holidays as we aim to build children's confidence and public speaking skills as well as providing a safe environment for them to spend their school holidays. More about our team. We aim to supervise a secure environment for children of all levels of their performing abilities and foster an inclusive attitude between children within the camps.

Why are actors great with children?

Actors are trained to be expressive, animated and confident leaders of crowds which is perfect when you are working with children. Our actors are very experienced with working with children throughout the year on school theatre tours, children's parties and pantomimes! Over the years we have built a strong and reliable team of 18 actors who love to meet new students and help them begin their performance journeys. All of the tutors are experienced, native speakers of English. Each Tutor supervises a small group of 8 - 12 children so that we can create an intimate learning environment and ensure we are Covid-Secure. All students are encouraged to participate, make friends and have fun as easily as possible. More information regarding our safeguarding and Covid policies, please see our Policies page.

What will the children learn throughout the week?

In this digital age, its more important than ever for childen to socialise in-person with new friends. Our child-care philosphy is to nurture confident and social children who are able to express their feelings and emotions without any inhibitions. Our courses are a great way to help children to become more confident speaking skills for their future working lives. With a 20-minute performance performed for their parents at the end of each week, students have the opportunity to develop their public speaking skills in front of a crowd of parents - a very important tool for later in life. ​ In addition, with water games, language games, arts and crafts and ball games in between our drama-based activities, our Holiday Camps are a great way to spend the holidays for all children!

When and where do the courses take place?

We work with over 15 private and international schools across the UK and the world to bring Holiday camps to your local area. We only work with schools who maintain a high standard of health & safety and safeguarding practices within their facilities.
