Chobham's half term is two weeks. Most camps only cover one.
Chobham Academy breaks up on the 16th and does not go back until the 2nd of November. Almost every holiday camp around here runs the week of the 26th, because that is when the council schools break — which leaves Chobham families with a whole week nobody has planned for.
We are open for both. Same hours, same price, same building your child already walks into every morning.
And because each day stands on its own, you only book the days you actually need.

What they actually do
DANCE
A new themed routine every day, split by age and finished by home time. Taught by the same teachers your child would have in a weekly class.
Acro Dance
Balances, rolls and walkovers on full mats, taught in strict progressions by a specialist acro teacher — not a general coach covering it as one of six things.
Halloween Making
Two and a half hours a day, properly taught — not a table of paint. Every child goes home with the thing they made that day. Ten days, ten things.
And a video every evening. At 3 o'clock the whole camp dances the day's routine together and we film it — so whether your child came for one day or all ten, you see what they did that afternoon.
A day at camp
Doors at 8am, collection until 6pm. Bring a packed lunch, a snack and a water bottle — we are a nut-free site.
Prices
A full week, 8am to 6pm, is fifty hours of qualified care with something made every day. That is £8 an hour.

Questions parents ask
Yes, and you lose nothing by doing it. Every day is a different theme with its own routine and its own thing to take home, all finished by home time — so there is no week-long build-up to miss. A single day is £52 for 9am–4pm, or £80 for 8am–6pm with early drop-off and late pick-up.
Most of them haven't. Every routine starts from nothing that morning, so a first-timer on day seven is in exactly the same place as everyone else in the room.
A packed lunch, a snack and a named water bottle. Leggings or shorts and a T-shirt, hair tied up, socks and trainers. Old clothes for the making sessions and a named jumper. We are a nut-free site, so please check labels.
Friday 30 October is the Halloween party — costumes welcome. Nothing that needs constant adjusting, and no mask they cannot see out of.
Not for this camp. Our registration is in progress and we expect to accept Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers from the February half term.
Full refund if you cancel 14 days or more before your first booked day, half back between 14 and 7 days, and no refund inside 7 days. Week one, 19–23 October, runs subject to minimum numbers and will be confirmed or cancelled by Friday 9 October 2026, with a full refund if it does not run.
