Families in St Albans can look forward to an exciting, activity-filled May Half Term as our popular holiday camp returns to Beaumont School from 26th - 29th May 2026.
Open to children aged 3-13 (School Years R-8 for May Half Term), the camp offers something for everyone, giving children the chance to try new activities, build skills and spend quality time with friends during the school holidays.
For those who love to stay active, Multi Sports, Xtreme and Football camps deliver high-energy days packed with games, competitions and of course INFLATABLES. Creative children can explore Performing Arts & Crafts or join the Theatre Workshop, building confidence through drama, imagination and performance. Budding tech enthusiasts can dive into Techy Coders, developing coding skills through fun, hands-on projects.
Looking ahead to summer, the much-loved Artists’ Studio returns, perfect for children who enjoy painting, drawing and getting creative. There’s also the return of Mini Camp, specially designed for 3-4 year olds in their pre-school year. With smaller groups and age-appropriate activities, it provides a gentle introduction to camp life while offering convenient, affordable childcare for families.
