We're a family-run camp that genuinely cannot wait for your kids to have the best day ever — and we quietly take care of every reassurance you need as a parent.
A day at Forbesy 🦊
From the morning drop-off to the happy, tired pickup — the kind of day your child can expect.
Music's already playing when you get to the gate. Our staff sign your child in party-style and lead them to their year group's spot to drop off their belongings. No long goodbyes needed, the day's already started. (Early Risers from 7:30am.)
Once everyone's in, we gather for the daily registration. Meet all the staff, hear what today's adventures are, and learn the Forbesy Rules.
Team games to shake off the morning energy and turn a room of strangers into best friends by snack time.
A quick refuel, a quick "how's it going?", and straight into the next activity.
Refuel and recharge. A calmer moment with packed lunches, stories and quieter games before the afternoon kicks off.
Sports and crafts run all day, so there's always somewhere to be and something to make, throw, build or win.
Everyone picks their final activity, and the whole camp comes together for the biggest one of the day.
Time to find that jumper. And that other jumper. Naming everything makes the great end-of-day hunt a lot quicker.
Every child is signed out to their parent or guardian before they leave.
For Full Day campers, a second registration and then a slower pace: biscuit time (every dietary requirement catered for), a few more activities, and a cinema room with popcorn for anyone who needs to recover from their big adventure.
Signed out to their parent or guardian, same as the day pickup. Need a little longer? Add a 6pm late pick-up to a Full Day.
