July holiday camps

[newto Dulwich]

Does anyone know of any good daily/weekly holiday camps in the area that run in July for 6-10 year olds? I've found the sporty ones at Dulwich college and Dulwich Prep and the arts one at JAPs. All other ideas (non sporty would be great) gratefully received!

Hi New To Dulwich, I see you are looking for July, Southwark LA primaries break up in the last week of July this year, on Wednesday 23rd July, so activities at schools etc won't start until the 24th or on the following Monday, the 28th. Most holiday schemes tend to operate during August rather than July. If you are looking for ones that start earlier than this you will be limited to ones at private schools. As well as the sporty ones you've found there are also the Lewisham Community Sports one, usually starting mid-July at St Dunstan's (Stillness ones will start later, like Southwark Community Schools) and I think these offer art as well as sport. http://www.lewishamcommunitysports.com/

I'm not sure that any holiday clubs start before 4 (or often 5). If there are then I'd love details as my 3 yo is desperate to join in some of his big sister's exciting holiday activities but I haven't seen any yet. As well as the ones mentioned above there's southwark gymnastics which is great (but not for under 4s!) http://www.southwarkgymnastics.co.uk I think they are planning to have a holiday club but details aren't on the website yet.

The Artastic ones start from 3. There are some more listed here: http://www.familiesonline.co.uk/LOCATIONS/London-South-East/Things-to-do/Activities-clubs-and-classes/School-Holiday-Playschemes-Workshops-and-Daycamps-SE-London-2014

Hi, thanks for the link Lorraine! We've actually got two weeks of Nimble Arts holiday club activities this year (28th July - 1st August and 18th August - 22nd August) plus two creative '3 day musical' courses for slightly older children (5-7th August and 26th - 28th August). Places still available, but would advise booking soon

Look in the 'what's on' section for more details,

I have checked with Dave who runs the Gumboots Holiday Scheme ( see above for email details). The dates of the club are 28th July to 22nd August costs ?28 per day. You can sign up for as many days as you wish ( or can afford) Open for primary age pupils. Trips out, games, activities, art etc . This club is well run by experienced staff.

Just reminding everyone that now is the time to book your summer holiday clubs. Gumboots have been providing Holiday Clubs since the 1980s to local kids. Works out cheaper than a childminder
