Frequently asked Questions
Do you provide lunch?
Lunch is provided by camp. Please ensure that your child(ren) bring 2 x snacks & a refillable water bottle.
What payment options do you accept?
You can either pay via credit/debit card (Visa/Mastercard - we don't currently accept American Express).
We also accept Alipay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, GrabPay and WeChat pay through our booking system.
How do the Action Extras work and what does my child need?
UPDATE: Due to current restrictions, Action Extras are not available at Easter 2021.
Action Extras run alongside the ordinary camp timetable. The full list of what is on offer can be accessed in the programmes menu, but please check the availability section if you are considering an Action Extra to check it runs at the site you are booking. Action Extras are optional and can either be paid for before camp or during. At a certain point in the day, children will be taken from their normal group by an instructor to their Action Extra session. They will spend the session learning new skills and having more focus from a specialist instructor to work on something that they really enjoy. For most action extras, children do not need to bring anything extra to camp, with the exception of Learn to Swim and Horse Riding. For Horse Riding, children will need closed-toe shoes with a slight heel, a long-sleeved top and long trousers and waterproofs: horse riding goes ahead come rain or shine! Please be aware that children will be taken off-site for horse riding – usually for either a full morning or a full afternoon session. For Learn to Swim, children will need their swimming kit, a towel, armbands (if required) and goggles. After the Action Extra activity, instructors will return children to their normal groups and they will continue on the normal camp timetable.

What is your policy on swimming?
UPDATE: Due to pandemic restrictions, we may not be able to offer swimming during the holidays this year. We will keep this page up to date once final guidance is received.
Swimming is an activity on offer at some (not all) of our sites – please check on your chosen venue page. Swimming is offered as a timetable option for children in the Magic (5-7), Active (8-11) and Teens age groups. Please note that if swimming is on offer, not all age groups will necessarily be timetabled to swim every day. Due to restrictions of numbers in the swimming pool and access times, we will timetable swimming to make it fair for each group. If your child does not wish to swim, that is fine with us – we will organise an alternative for them! When children arrive at the swimming pool, they will change in designated changing rooms then head to poolside for their swim test. The qualified lifeguards will first explain the rules of the swimming session then watch children swim a width of the pool and ensure that any child requiring armbands is wearing them. If you know your child needs armbands, please pack them for them. The staffing ratios: Playtime & Magic – 1:8 Active & Teens – 1:12 still apply in the swimming pool. Staff members will be in the water with children while lifeguards stay on poolside. Children will be monitored closely during their swimming session and at the end taken back to the changing rooms to get dressed and head back to their other activities!

You can also find our Terms & Conditions by scrolling to the bottom of this page.
Are all the activities included or do I have to pay extra for some?
All the activities on the main camp timetable are included in your child’s booking with Camp Beaumont. The camp timetable will be available in the sign in/out area at camp and show what your child will be doing each day. However, we do have some available Action Extra activities which you can choose to upgrade to at an additional cost. These action extras give children a more specialised session with focus on something they may have shown an interest in, from horse riding to baking. These can be purchased before camp starts, or your child can be added to the register during camp time if we have availability – just speak to a member of camp management on site!
If I cancel, can I get a refund?
If you cancel then our booking terms and conditions will apply as normal, however due to the current situation, we are offering extra flexibility to reschedule your booking to a later date. If we are unable to operate due to Government restrictions, we will help you move your booking, offer you a credit note, or give you a refund.
Can my child move to a different bubble?
Unfortunately not, once a group bubble is set we cannot move children between them to ensure we keep everyone safe and avoid any spread of Covid-19 throughout the pandemic.
What are your isolation protocols?
If someone on camp starts to display symptoms of COVID-19, then that child will be required to isolate until they are collected. Their parent/guardian will be notified immediately and required to come and collect their child(ren) as soon as reasonably possible. The rest of the Group Bubble will be able to continue as normal unless there is multiple children or team members displaying symptoms at which point a decision will be made to isolate the entire Group Bubble to safeguard the rest of camp. The individual(s) presenting symptoms of covid-19 are required to get a test and inform the Camp Manager as soon as reasonably possible of the result. Positive Test - If the result comes back positive then the remainder of the Group Bubble must isolate and their parents/guardians will be required to collect as soon as reasonably possible. Then follow the latest government isolation/testing protocols. Negative Test – If the result comes back negative then the child will be admitted back to camp and the Group Bubble can continue as normal. The area in which anyone isolates will be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly after each use. Camp Beaumont has engaged the services of a market leading touch-less disinfection and decontamination company who will be on standby to attend site and disinfect areas as required.
Do all children need to be in group bubbles?
Under current guidance, any child aged 3 to 5 years old is not required to be in bubbles of 15, as long as they are not mixing in groups with any children 6 years old or above. So our ‘Playtime’ age group (3 & 4 years old) and our 5 year old children do not need to be in group bubbles. Any children aged 6 or above are still required to remain in small consistent groups of no more than 15 children. This will include any 5 year olds who, for logistical purposes, will need to be in a group with 6 year olds.
What if I had booked but now you are closed the week that I booked for?
We will be in touch to look at moving your booking to a later date when we are operating, to offer a credit note to use until the end of Summer 2021, or offer you a refund. Please bear with us as we contact all the customers that this may affect.
When are you re-opening your camps?
We are planning to re-open our camps for the Easter holidays subject to government guidance.
What if I had booked but now you are closed the week that I booked for?
If we are unable to operate camp for any reason, we will help you move your booking to another holiday, offer you a credit note, or give you a full refund.
What are you doing when you're-open to ensure everyone’s safety?
We safely welcomed over 8,000 children in 2020 using our tried and tested COVID-safe practices. You can view our COVID policy at the top of thispage.
There are 10 hey ways that we keep everyone safe at Camp Beaumont when we open: 1. Contactless sign in & sign out 2. Clearly visible social distancing signage 3. Gloves and facemasks available for our teams if required 4. Thorough handwashing for all every hour 5. Easily accessible hand sanitiser stations for all 6. Reduced camp capacities 7. Maximum of 12 children per group 8. Programme adjustments 9. Staggering of lunch times 10. Enhanced cleaning routines
As we get closer to opening more information on the above will be released via our blog and on our social channels. Our goal is to offer a much needed service to parents in the safest way possible and continue inspiring children throughout the school holidays.
Why is Camp Beaumont allowed 15 in a group when current government guidelines don’t allow groups of that size to meet?
We are an OFSTED registered childcare provider so following current guidance it recommends us to operate in consistent Group Bubbles of no more than 15 children for children aged 6 years and over. Our biggest bubble group based on our current safety plan is 15. We will however maintain our ratios of 1:8 (3 to 7yrs) and 1:12 (8yrs +). So if we had a Group Bubble of 15 in our Magic Group (5 to 7yrs) we would have two members of our team with this Group Bubble. These Group Bubbles will not come into contact with other bubbles throughout the camp day and will keep a consistent Camp Team leading the activities.
Will you accept children for who attend for just a few days per week? How will you ensure that groups are kept consistent?
We will be accepting children where the childcare requirement is less than a week. We recognise the significance of our responsibility to keep everyone safe and of the childcare requirements throughout the school holidays which will go further than just weekly booking requirements. Current government guidance says that, these Group Bubbles should remain consistent and that is what we intend to do. We have a responsibility to create a COVID secure environment, which we will do through all the measures we have set out, and we expect that our parents/guardians to also act responsibly. It is vital parents/guardians do not allow their child(ren) to attend if they are showing symptoms or are required to meet isolation or testing protocols after coming into contact with someone who has COVID-19. We will record every child who has been within a Group Bubble on a weekly basis and try to minimise daily changes as much as possible so that each child only comes into contact with a maximum of 15 other children within their Group Bubble. If we are contacted by a parent/guardian or NHS Test and Trace to inform us of a positive test, we are then able to alert all parents/guardian with a child may have come into contact with the infected individual.
Can I request that my child is in the same group bubble as their friend?
This has been one of our main challenges around the bubble system. Whilst trying to keep everyone safe, we recognise that children are on occasion not being grouped with their friends. We believe that one of the great things about holiday camps is meeting new people, making new friends and interacting with different people, we do recognise that the children also want to be grouped with their friends from outside of Camp, particularly after the disruption to schooling this academic year. We have worked closely with our onsite teams to show a degree of flexibility, where possible, to ensure that children who have friends attending camp will be in the same bubble. Whilst we cannot guarantee that a whole friendship group will be together, we will look to ensure that a child with friends at the camp does not find themselves in a group where they do not know anyone. If you would like to request that your child is in the same group bubble as one of their friends the best thing to do is email the camp that they are attending directly and where possible by the Thursday of the week prior to your arrival. You can find the relevant email address in the pre-camp email we'll send the week before the holidays begin.
Why do our children need to be in group bubbles?
Under current government guidance, we are required to keep children 6 years and older in small consistent bubbles of no more than 15 children to minimise the mixing of our children and staff and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. The idea is that if someone within a group bubble displayed any symptoms, only that particular group bubble that would need to close and not the whole camp. If a group bubble was to close, those within it would need to follow the latest government self-isolation and/or testing guidance.
Can my child be grouped in the same group as a particular friend?
We will try to group the child in the same group as their friends where possible, however we strongly believe that camp is a great place to make new friends and our teams will actively encourage this. Final decisions on groupings are made by the Camp Manager onsite. Please note if your child and their friend are in different age groups this will not be possible.
What happens when I drop my child off?
When you arrive, follow the signs to the ‘sign in’ area. There you will find your child’s age group table with a friendly Head Group Leader to sign in your child. Your child will then be introduced to their group leaders and encouraged to join in with their group in some small warm up activities whilst the rest of the group arrives.

What if I am delayed in collecting my child?
We understand that sometimes things happen outside of your control and you may be late collecting your child. Please give the camp a call as soon as you know that you may be late so that we know - you’ll receive the number by email the week before camp starts. If you are later than 15:15pm then we reserve the right to charge an additional fee for every 15 minutes late. This is to cover the cost of the two team members that are required to stay.
Don’t worry though, your child will be kept safe and entertained until you arrive.
Can I find out how my child's day is going?
Our teams are extremely busy throughout the day ensuring that all of our campers are having the best time, so we would encourage you to speak with our team at collection time to get some feedback on how your child’s day was. If you really need to get in touch with the camp, you are able to do this by calling or emailing the camp directly using the contacts we’ll send you the week before camp starts.
What if my child is ill and cannot come to camp?
Depending on the camp’s availability, we may be able to transfer your child’s holiday to a later date to ensure they do not miss out. Please contact our team on bookings@campbeaumont.asia to discuss your options. Unfortunately, if your child’s camp dates cannot be rearranged due to availability, we will not be able to offer a refund.
Do I have to take out the customer protection plan and what happens if I don’t?
CPP Insurance is optional, not compulsory. Without the Customer Protection Plan, you can't cancel and claim a refund or credit note for missed days or cancellation, or make up any missed days later in the season, under any circumstances. If you need to switch your dates and we still have space on the dates you'd like to move to, we can make these changes. Please note however, changes can only be made 14 days’ before your child’s arrival date. If you have an alternative insurance policy that provides this cover then you would need to contact your provider to make a claim against your booking.

Final decisions on groupings are made by the Camp Manager onsite. Please note if your child and their friend are in different age groups this will not be possible.
Can we visit Camp before my child starts?
As we do not own the venues you will not be able to visit outside of school holiday periods during which we are open. However, if you are interested in enrolling your child in the school and wish to visit the school facilities, please contact the school admissions department and they will be happy to show you around. If we are open, you are welcome to come for a look around - but this is by appointment only. You will need to contact the camp you wish to visit and make an appointment with a member of the management team - please get in touch with us or via our contact us page and we’ll help you do this.
Will my child always be in the same group?
We organise our child groupings by the week so they will be in the same group for the whole of their stay. If they come back for an additional week then there is a small chance their group may change depending on numbers of children attending. If you’d like your child to be grouped with a friend, please let the camp manager know.
What are the arrival and collection times?
The arrival time is between 0830 and 0900. Throughout this period, our team will have some fun organised activities to warm the children up ready for the day full of activities.
Collection time is between 1500and 1530 and again - like in the morning - our team will have a selection of activities to ensure the children continue their adventures right up until home time.
