Letters Home

Once a week your child will write a letter to you, which will be scanned and sent to you via our phone app. It is a great opportunity for your child to communicate their emotions and for you also to reply back!

Over 200 Photos a Day

You can closely follow your child’s camp experience by visiting our private Google Drive folder. Each day our Camp Photographers upload at least 200 photos of all of our children, so you can be an active part of our Explorer family. 

Phone Calls are Possible

Yes, we are an electronic free camp which means your child will not be using their own phone. But we can arrange phone calls via our Camp Director’s phone throughout their time on camp as we understand both our campers’ and parents’ needs. 

Small Groups – Personal Attention

The group size of our younger campers is usually between 8-10 children which means there is a camper to staff ration of 4:1. Our staff is simply the best. They are kind, fun people, talented educators and 100% dedicated to YOU and YOUR CHILD.

Camp Director Updates

Steve is in constant close contact with our younger groups, always checking in to see how your children are doing. Quite often you will receive personal individual and honest updates on your child including pictures demonstrating the fun your child is having. You will always be kept up-to-date with the progress of camp. 

Personal Feedback

At the end of the camp, you and your child will receive  unique an detailed feedback on their camp experience. It is a wonderful way to understand the whole camp experience and to really strengthen what he or she did on camp. 

Virtual Camps

A new addition to our Explorer programs, our virtual camps are an amazing way for your child to extend their camp experience to noremal school days. A wide range of activities means that he or she can build on their camp experience.
