It varies from week to week! We usually have around 24 children in our 3-4's and 5-6's. In our 7-12's group, the group sizes vary depending on the nature of the activity but will always be within our required ratios.

We aim to have a 1:8 ratio in our 3 - 4's and 5 - 6's groups. The ratio in the 7 - 12's group is usually 1:12. This can vary throughout the day but we always comply with legal requirements. And we have plenty of supernumerary staff.

No, if your child is doing a full day, they will need to bring a mid morning snack, packed lunch and a named water bottle. Children who are doing half days need to bring a mid morning snack and a named water bottle.

We are not a nut free zone and do not check lunch boxes. But we respectfully ask for you not to pack obvious nut products.

If you need to cancel your child's XUK residential camp booking, please contact us as soon as possible. Cancellation charges and the terms that apply are set out in our Terms & Conditions.

XUK staff go through a thorough recruitment process before joining our residential summer camps. Applicants complete an application form and, if shortlisted, attend a structured interview.

Our interviews include individual and team tasks, as well as opportunities for applicants to demonstrate their skills at running activities. Successful applicants must also complete the required DBS checks and provide references before working at camp.

Please let us know the name of your child's friend at the earliest opportunity. We always try our hardest to put children with their friend requests, but cannot guarantee that it is always possible.

On your child's first day of the week, their group leader will display the group's timetable for the week. You are welcome to take a photo of this. Of course, these activities will be subject to change and no one will be notified if they do.

The majority of our campers attend for the whole week. But you are welcome to book for individual days to suit your diary! Of course, these are subject to availability.

No. While English is used throughout the camp, many campers come from non-English-speaking countries and adapt quickly through immersive learning.

Afternoon sessions offer a wide variety of activities such as sports, arts and crafts, outdoor challenges, and team games – all designed to be fun and inclusive.

Yes. We group campers by age to ensure appropriate social interaction and safety during activities.

Campers can use mobile phones during designated free times but not during activities, lessons, or mealtimes.

Campers select their preferred afternoon activities daily from a rotating schedule, giving them the chance to try something new each day.
