Great Dunmow, Essex
Our camps
Your child gets the full Forbesy energy — 30+ activities, a brilliant team and that warm welcome every single morning.
Same Forbesy. Wherever you are.
One camp. One unforgettable summer.
We're based at Great Dunmow Primary School — a brilliant venue where families can drop their kids at the door, head off to work (or catch up on life), and collect one beaming child at the end of the day, already asking when they’re coming back. The camp is Ofsted-registered, DBS-checked and packed with the activities your kids will be talking about all week.
