A big Forbesy welcome
Drop-off is a doddle. A familiar, friendly face (and the fox!) greets your child by name, signs them in, and the adventure begins — while you head off to work, rest or catch up on life.

A day at Forbesy 🦊
Follow the fox through a perfect camp day
From the morning drop-off to the happy, tired pickup — here's exactly what your child's day looks like.
9:30am
Giant inflatables & games
Bouncing, racing, belly-laughing. Our giant inflatables and team games burn off all that morning energy and make instant best-friends.
11:00am
Splash time
Supervised swimming and water play — one of the kids' favourite parts of the day.
12:30pm
Lunch & chill
Refuel and recharge. A calmer moment with packed lunches, stories and quieter games before the afternoon kicks off.
1:30pm
Crafts, sports & adventure
Arts and crafts, sports tournaments, themed challenges and den-building. Older kids can step up to the Fox Leader Course and learn to lead.
4:00pm
The big finish
A colour-run, a talent show, a parachute game — every day ends on a high so they leave buzzing and can't wait for tomorrow.
6:00pm
Happy, tired pickup
You collect one worn-out, beaming child full of stories. That's a Forbesy day done — and a memory made.
…and they'll beg to come back tomorrow!
