Question 1

What age groups are your holiday camps for?

Accepted Answer

Our holiday camps are generally designed for children aged 4+, although the exact age range may vary depending on the camp. Please check the individual camp information above for the age range for each upcoming camp.

Question 2

What are the camp dates and times?

Accepted Answer

Dates and times vary between camps, so please check the individual camp information above for full details. Our full-day holiday camps usually run from approximately 9:30am to 3:30pm, with wraparound care available for selected camps.

Question 3

Does my child need dance, drama or acro experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Our holiday camps are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, and children do not need any previous dance, acro or performing arts experience to take part. Activities are adapted to suit different ages, abilities and levels of experience so that everyone can participate, be challenged appropriately and have fun.

Question 4

Does my child need to already attend Theative to come to camp?

Accepted Answer

No. Our holiday camps are open to everyone, including children who have never attended Theative before. Camps are a lovely way to experience Theative for the first time, make new friends and explore dance and performing arts in a fun and relaxed environment.

Question 5

What will my child be doing at camp?

Accepted Answer

Every camp is a little different! Our Performing Arts Camps usually include a fun-filled mixture of dance, singing, drama, games, creative activities and themed crafts, while our Acro Camps focus more heavily on acrobatic skills, flexibility, strength, balances, tumbling and creative movement. Check the individual camp description above to find out what we have planned for our next adventure.

Question 6

Will there be a performance at the end of camp?

Accepted Answer

Our week-long Performing Arts Camps will usually work towards a special performance or sharing for families at the end of the week, giving the children the chance to show off everything they have learned and created. Exact arrangements may vary between camps and will be shared with families taking part.

Question 7

Can my child attend individual days or do they need to attend the whole week?

Accepted Answer

Where individual-day bookings are available, you are welcome to book just the days that suit you. However, we recommend attending the full camp wherever possible, particularly for camps working towards an end-of-week performance, as children get the most from the experience when they can follow the adventure from beginning to end. Check the booking options for each individual camp above to see what is available.

Question 8

What if my child is nervous or doesn't know anyone?

Accepted Answer

Please don't worry. Lots of children arrive at camp without knowing anyone else, and helping everyone feel welcome and included is an important part of what we do. Our teachers use games, group activities and creative challenges to help children get to know one another, build confidence and feel part of the group. If there is anything in particular that would help your child settle in, please let us know before camp.

Question 9

How does wraparound care work?

Accepted Answer

We offer early drop-off and/or late pick-up for selected camps to make holiday childcare a little easier for busy families. Availability, times and prices can vary, so please check the Wraparound Care information for the individual camp above. Wraparound care must be booked in advance and some days may have different collection arrangements.

Question 10

How much does camp cost and how do I book?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary depending on the camp, with full-camp and individual-day options available for selected events. We may also offer Early Bird pricing when bookings first open. You'll find the current prices and booking options in the individual camp information above. When bookings are open, simply click the BOOK NOW button for your chosen camp to secure your child's place.

Question 11

Who will be teaching my child?

Accepted Answer

Our camps are led by experienced dance and performing arts teachers who are passionate about creating a safe, encouraging and exciting environment for children. Our camp team may include familiar Theative teachers alongside specialist guest teachers depending on the activities planned. Appropriate safeguarding procedures are followed and teaching staff working with children are DBS checked.

Question 12

Can I see what your previous holiday camps have been like?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Scroll through our See what we've been up to... section above to explore some of our previous holiday camps and get a feel for the dancing, creativity, friendships, performances and fun that make a week at Theative so special.

Question 13

What happens if I need to cancel my child's camp booking?

Accepted Answer

If your plans change, please let us know as soon as possible. We may be able to offer credit towards a future camp, workshop or event, or transfer the booking to another suitable child. Cancellations made more than 14 days before camp may also be eligible for a refund, less any non-recoverable costs. Cancellations within 14 days are ordinarily non-refundable, although if we are able to refill the place this will be taken into account. Please see our full Terms & Conditions for details.

Question 14

Can I pay using Tax-Free Childcare?

Accepted Answer

Not just yet, but we're working on it! We are currently in the process of setting up Tax-Free Childcare payments for our holiday camps and hope to be able to offer this option in the future. We'll update this page as soon as Tax-Free Childcare payments become available.

Question 15

What happens if my child has additional needs, allergies or medical requirements?

Accepted Answer

We want every child to have a safe, happy and positive experience at camp. Please tell us about any allergies, medical conditions, additional needs or other important information when booking and make sure your child's details are up to date before camp begins. If your child has an EpiPen or requires particular support, please contact us in advance so that our Camp Team can be properly briefed. If you're unsure whether we can meet your child's needs at a particular camp, please get in touch before booking and we'll be happy to discuss this with you.

Question 16

Do you offer sibling discounts for holiday camps?

Accepted Answer

We don't currently offer sibling discounts for our holiday camps. We do, however, offer Early Bird pricing for selected camps, so booking early is usually the best way to secure our lowest available price.

Question 17

Do I need to provide lunch and snacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Children should bring a packed lunch, snack and refillable bottle of water for each day they attend. Please do not include nuts and make sure your child knows that food should not be shared with other campers. Some of our venues may have additional requirements about food brought onto the premises, so please check the information sent to you before your camp begins.

Question 18

What should my child wear to camp?

Accepted Answer

Children should wear comfortable dance or activewear that allows them to move freely, such as a leotard with leggings or footless tights, or leggings/cycle shorts with a T-shirt. Please avoid dresses, tutus, fancy dress, jeans or other restrictive clothing. Long hair should be tied back. We also recommend bringing an oversized T-shirt or art tabard to protect clothing during messy craft activities.

Question 19

What should my child bring with them?

Accepted Answer

Please bring a packed lunch, snack, refillable water bottle and art tabard or oversized T-shirt each day, with all belongings clearly named. For younger children, we also recommend packing a spare set of clothes and underwear. We will let you know before camp if your child needs anything additional for a particular activity or performance.

Question 20

Who can collect my child from camp?

Accepted Answer

Children will only be released to an approved parent, guardian or other authorised adult. If somebody different will be collecting your child, please let us know in advance and make sure your contact and emergency contact information is up to date. We may contact you to verify the identity of anyone we are not expecting to collect your child.

Question 21

Can parents stay during camp?

Accepted Answer

No. Parents and guardians do not stay on site during camp. If your child is nervous at drop-off, our Camp Team will help them settle in and make sure they are supported and included.

Question 22

Will you take photographs or videos during camp?

Accepted Answer

We love capturing the fun and creativity of our holiday camps and may take photographs and videos throughout the week, including filming our end-of-camp performances. Please make sure your child's photo and video permissions are up to date before camp. Children without the relevant permission will not be included in photographs or videos intended for sharing.
