Holiday camps
Holiday camps
Our holiday camps provide fun, safe and enriching activities for primary-aged children during school and summer holidays.
Why choose a Dynamic Lifestyle holiday camp?
Non-stop fun: From drop off to pick up, your child will participate in a variety of fun, age-appropriate activities. It’s what school holidays are all about!
Expert coaching staff: Activities at our holiday and summer camps are lead by our partners at SportsCool Durham, coaches who specialise in delivering sports to primary school children in the region.
A launchpad to a healthy life: By engaging children in fun physical activity you not only improve their health and wellbeing, you also help instill a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
School holiday camps in the North East
Covering Durham and the North East, our holiday camps are available for children from 4 to 11 years old, up to a maximum of 60 children per day.
Our camps provide full-day (7.5 hours) childcare provision, with drop off between 8.30-9am and collection between 3.30-4pm.
The camps run 5 days per week during the school holidays, with our summer camps running for three weeks.
Holiday camp activities
Each day will consist of different sports/activities so that children who are booked onto multiple days of the holiday camp don't do the same thing twice.
Crucially, we understand that not every child likes football and netball, so we like to run different sessions to engage all children, such as:

At Dynamic Lifestyle holiday camps there is something for every child to enjoy!
Downtime
It can’t be all-go all day, which is why we include some downtime in the schedule, including free play at the start of the day and an age-appropriate movie at lunchtime.
Party time
Once a week we have a fancy-dress party and play party games.
The theme changes each week, but we stress to the children and parents that we want creations to be made from items at home so that it doesn’t incur costs.
Also, once a week we will provide an inflatable to play games on.
Star player of the day
We think it's really important to recognise the fantastic efforts made by the children, so every day we will nominate a Star Player.
There will also be certificates and trophies handed out at the end of the week.
Nutritional support
At Dynamic Lifestyle, we believe that a healthy and balanced diet is key to children growing into happy, thriving adults.
As part of our holiday camp provision, we will incorporate nutrition in three ways:
Education
In addition to physical activity, our camps will include activities, worksheets, and recipe videos aimed at encouraging healthy eating habits.
Cook-alongs
Once a week there will be an opportunity for families to attend pre-recorded cook-along session showing parents/carers how to make a meat and vegetarian meal for under £1 per portion.
Healthy food provision
To encourage healthy eating within the camps, children will be provided with nutritious snacks and meals throughout the day:
- Healthy snack in the morning i.e. oatmeal biscuit or flapjack
- A two course freshly prepared hot meal at lunch
- Piece of fruit in the afternoon or to take home
- Water provided throughout the day
