Flying Fantastic aerial and circus summer camp 🧒 7–16 years 📍 Bankside SE1 and Peckham SE15
Aerial silks, hoop, slings and static trapeze, with bungees and ground-based circus skills when arms need a rest. No experience needed, and they've been running their youth circus since 2013.

Architecture and Product Design Bootcamp
Are you a 16-18-year-old looking to study Architecture, Interior Design, or Product Design at university? Are you a parent looking for a highly productive, career-focused summer experience that will give your teen a massive head start on their UCAS applications? Welcome to the IDEA Architecture, Interior & Product Design Summer Boot Camp — a rigorous, creative, and incredibly fun 10-day intensive program that treats students not as school pupils, but as junior designers in a real studio environment. The Brief: Build Your Own 1:1 Scale Furniture Great design isn't just about drawing pretty concepts; it’s about solving real human problems within strict material constraints. This is not a theoretical exercise — the designs created in this boot camp will be physically built and rigorously tested. During the boot camp, our 24 young designers will design and fabricate a 1:1 scale furniture piece. Industry Mentorship To ensure our students get the most realistic studio experience possible, the boot camp features exclusive talks and mentorship from practising industry experts. Throughout the two weeks, professional Architects, Interior Designers and Product Designers will visit the studio to share their career journeys, provide technical advice, and critique the developing concepts. What You Will Learn & Create Over 10 action-packed days, students will go through the complete design cycle: Discover & Define: Ergonomic research, empathy-mapping for young users, material exploration, and rapid concept sketching. Develop: Building 1:5 scale prototypes to test structural logic and weak points. Fabricate: Safely cutting and assembling 1:1 scale product using professional studio tools. Deliver: Organising process sketches into a cohesive design portfolio and delivering a final professional pitch. Why Attend? (A Note on UCAS Portfolios) University admissions panels see thousands of applications a year. They don't just want to see polished digital renders; they want to see how a student thinks, iterates, and solves physical problems. Being able to say, "I designed and built a 1:1 scale weight-bearing structure" is an incredible differentiator. Students will keep a dedicated "Studio Sketchbook" documenting their iterations and brilliant breakthroughs. They will leave with physical models, orthographic drawings, professional studio photography of their final built product, and the confidence to talk about their real-world impact in university interviews.

The main types of holiday camp
Multi-activity camps have a bit of sport, a bit of crafting, games and team challenges, with the day broken into chunks. The safest choice if you're not sure what your child will take to, and want to be sure they'll find something they'll enjoy.
Sports camps go deep on a particular sport or a range of physical activities. Football and multi-sports are everywhere in London, with netball, cricket and tennis appearing in the bigger holiday breaks. Good for burning energy and sharpening some skills.
Performing arts and drama camps often build towards a performance at the end of the week, with singing, dancing and drama in between. The show is a highlight, so these work best booked as a full week rather than drop in days.
Music camps teach an instrument across the week, often with one to take home. Lovely for a child who's curious about music but not ready for weekly lessons.
Adventure and outdoor camps get children outdoors for the day often to parks, lakes, forests and activity centres. Usually a single day rather than a week, and often the thing they talk about longest afterwards.
Specialist camps for teenagers offer something different. For art it could be portfolio building, for fashion design bootcamps, for STEM coding intensives. There are fewer of these available, they tend to be pricier, and useful if your teen has a direction in mind.
Choosing the right holiday camp
Holiday camps are meant to be fun so start with the activity your child enjoys the most.
If they're happiest running about, a sports or multi-activity camp will send them home properly tired out. If they're the one directing everybody in the garden, performing arts could be a good fit, and the show at the end of the week gives them something to work towards.
A child who's crafty may get more out of an arts or creative camp than a week of football. And for one who's curious about music but not ready for weekly lessons, a music camp is a gentle way in, often with an instrument to take home.
If they can't choose, or you can't tell yet, multi-activity camps sample a bit of everything. They're the easiest first camp for a child who's never been.
Then ask the camp provider how children are grouped by age and how many there are to each adult. The better camps publish this, and the rest will tell you if you ask.
Still not sure? Book a single day before you commit to a week. Lots of London camps allow it, and one day will give you and your child an idea of what it's like.
When to book holiday camps
A few weeks ahead is a good guide and earlier for anything very popular.
Summer camps usually go on sale in the spring, and the best-known ones fill up long before the end of the summer term. If you already know which week you need, book that one as soon as it opens.
Half term is shorter notice, but a few weeks is still the right window.
Try not to leave it to the last minute. Spaces do come up, but you'll be choosing from whatever's left rather than what suits your child, and the camp you wanted may be full.
If you need early drop-off or late collection, book it at the same time. Lots of London camps offer it for a few pounds an hour, but places are limited.
London holiday clubs for kids FAQ
How can I find the best London holiday clubs near me?
Use Loopla's search to see the full list of holiday camps. You can narrow by area and category to find the closest option to your family.
Are there any holiday clubs for three year olds?
Most holiday clubs are aimed at school-age children, but there are exceptions, and a few London camps take children from as young as 18 months.
For this age, sessions are often shorter than a standard camp day, running a few hours or a half day rather than nine till four, which tends to suit little ones better anyway.
One thing worth checking before you book: many camps ask that children are toilet trained before attending.
How much do holiday camps cost in London?
Most sit between £40 and £90 a day, depending on what's included and how long the day runs. Multi-activity and sports camps are usually at the lower end, music and performing arts camps a little higher, and specialist teen courses higher again. Early drop-off and late collection are normally charged on top.
Can I use childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare for holiday camps?
Often, yes. If a camp is Ofsted registered it can usually accept Tax-Free Childcare, employer childcare vouchers and the childcare element of Universal Credit. Not every camp is registered, so check before you book. Camps that do accept it normally say so on their listing.
What age do holiday camps start from?
A few London camps take children from 18 months, though most start at age four and over. Sports and multi-activity camps typically run to ages 12-14, and there are specialist courses for teenagers up to 16 and over.
What should my child take to holiday camp?
Usually a packed lunch, often nut-free, plus a refillable water bottle, suncream, a rain jacket and comfortable clothes they can get messy in. Sports camps will want trainers. Individual camps send a list with anything else that is needed on booking.
Do children have to attend the whole week?
Not always. Plenty of London camps let you book single days, which is ideal if you only need cover for part of the week or you're trying somewhere new. Performing arts camps are the exception, since they build towards a show at the end of the week, so those work best booked in full.
When do summer holiday camps in London open for booking?
Most open in the spring, and the popular weeks and sites go before the summer term ends. If you need a particular week, book that one early and fill in the rest later.
