Ages 7-9
This age group loves to be active and engaged, with lots of enthusiasm and a growing sense of independence. They have already developed a strong foundation of skills and our staff help guide them, using their energy to support social and personal development, all whilst ensuring they have fun, are stimulated and challenged!
​
Camp offers a variety of engaging activities that cater to children of all abilities, providing opportunities to learn and grow through fun experiences from a thoughtfully planned timetable designed to capture imagination, different interests and keep children engaged.
​Camp activities promote teamwork, confidence and social skills.
​
Daily encouragement of independence, skill development and growth
Children can help the staff to choose the daily activities.
ages 10-12
As the oldest group on camp, children enjoy more freedom when selecting their activities and have more independence in their day to day camp experience. This freedom allows your child to explore and dive deeper into their personal interests. It’s a great opportunity to improve on skills they already have and try new activities that will challenge them.
​
Whether they’re looking to enhance their sports ability, develop creative talents, or strengthen social skills, there are endless possibilities for growth and exploration. Rooskills+ is also an excellent opportunity for this greater skill acquisition.
Often children of this age forge lasting friendships and make unforgettable camp memories.
