Easter Courses 2026

What an incredible three days! 🌟

We were delighted to welcome The Grange Academy on the first day—what a wonderful time was had by all. We can’t wait to see everyone again very soon!

The children enjoyed four fantastic activities throughout the course:

⚽ In sport, they took part in engaging, motivating, and inspiring Easter-themed activities that encouraged every child to join in and have fun

🦎 In pond dipping, they created pond creatures using air-drying clay and even discovered a yellow-bellied crested newt!

🌿 In bushcraft, the groups built dens and also tried simple orienteering, using compasses and the four compass points to follow routes

🎨 In arts and crafts, the children made amazing Easter baskets, collecting natural materials from the reserve to fill them before taking their creations home

A huge thank you to all our staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication in making these courses possible 💚

We’d also like to thank Sapori Catering and Sharnbrook Deli Café for supporting us with the children’s lunches.

Finally, here are some lovely quotes from the families who attended our Easter course… 💬

I Just wanted to say a massive thank you for organising this lovely camp. My daughter came home buzzing- she had such a great time!

​
Both my boys attended for the first time. They had a fantastic day. They did so many exciting activities. They came home to show me how they learnt to tie a knot. They enjoyed the team building activities. They already love being outdoors so I knew they would have enjoyed this. They are now asking me if they can come back again. Thank you so much.
