What kind of activities do you do in the Holiday Camp?

We have a massive variety of activities which we offer within our Holiday Camps. We always try and play a bit of sport each day, but we’re well aware that football, rugby, tennis etc don’t appeal to everyone, so we also play a lot of ‘Holiday Camp Games’. These include several variations of dodgeball and lots of different movement based games that your children will learn within the camp. We are in the extremely fortunate position to be able to offer activities such as roller discos, swimming pool sessions; including pool inflatable sessions (for P4-P7), soft play, climbing, playpark, arts & crafts and many, many more. We are proud to be able to offer something for everyone and our activities are run to be safe and fully inclusive for all children, ensuring they are in the best environment to enjoy themselves, whilst making new friends and lasting memories.

What does my child need to bring with them?

All you need to bring is suitable clothing and footwear for partaking in movement based activities, warm clothing (in case any of our activities are outside), water and snacks.

Those in big camp (P4-P7) also need swimming attire (shorts/swimsuit & towel) and packed lunch or money for food/drink from the café.

Are there breaks throughout the day and what happens at lunchtime?

P1-P3 will have a break in the hall and leave at 12pm.

P4-P7 are based in the Squash Lounge in Atlantis where our belongings are kept under lock and key while we are doing activities. This is where we do the register to start our day and where we take our breaks and have our lunch together. Children are more than welcome to bring snacks and a packed lunch with them, and the café is available at those times as well. Beth at Café Atlantis has kindly offered us a specific ‘Holiday Camp’ menu with some great options for the children. We enforce a strict 1 fizzy drink and 1 sweet per day rule for those who are buying from the café ensuring that the children aren’t overspending on non-essentials.

We don’t live here/ our family is visiting can they attend?

Absolutely, we welcome everyone to our camps. Please register for our client hub before booking. We use our client hub to keep all medical and family information safe and up to date. You can book online or via the iScuba App or alternatively you can book by contacting our reception on 01631566800.

Further P4-P7 Camp Questions

What kind of swimming do you do at Holiday Camps ?

We know that swimming is a hugely popular activity within the Holiday Camps, it has always been the case, and we are excited to continue to be able to offer swimming as part of our week. We do our best to make sure the children get swimming every day and we also aim to join the pool inflatable sessions at least once a week.

What if my child can’t swim?

If your child is attending our camp but is unable to adhere to our pool policy of being able to swim 2 lengths of a 25m pool unaided, then they will be unable to go into the Main Pool with the Holiday Camp. We will find a safe activity for them to do.

Do the children go to the Cinema as part of the Holiday Camp?

Yes! We are extremely grateful to our friends at the Oban Phoenix Cinema who continue to accommodate us every holiday season and have done so for over 5 years. Every Wednesday morning the children will attend the Cinema for a morning showing. This does mean that we have to leave Atlantis Leisure straight away after the register in the morning so we do require children to be on time! The staff will then safely walk the children down to the cinema (outdoor attire recommended) for the film and then back afterwards. There is no extra cost for the Cinema, and Oban Phoenix also offer a superb deal of a juice and a popcorn for £2. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Oban Phoenix Cinema for their continued partnership.

Can you do a half day or does my child need to be in from 9am-4pm?

We no longer offer half day prices at camp. The feedback from the years where this was offered was that children who only attended half a day were less likely to get to do the activity that they wanted and also felt slightly isolated from the children who were there all day. If you require your child to be picked up early, this can be arranged, however, the full day price would still be charged as the space for the whole day would be taken by your child.

This all sounds great, how much is it and how do I book?

The cost for a day of camp is £20 a day. We are sure you’ll agree that for the amount of activities the children will partake in, this is an exceptionally good price. Please register for our client hub before booking. We use our client hub to keep all medical and family information safe and up to date. You can book online or via the iScuba App or alternatively you can book by contacting our reception on 01631566800. As always, we recommend booking at the earliest opportunity as the camps do tend to fill up quickly. We will always try accommodate children turning up on the day but the only way to guarantee your child’s space is through pre-booking. Our class capacity is based on kids to coach ratios and cannot be exceeded.
