Holiday Camps

At Holmwood House, we offer an exciting and diverse programme of holiday camps and courses that make full use of our extensive school facilities in Colchester. This provides busy families with high quality childcare for a selection of weeks in the school holidays. 

The camps provide children with opportunities to stay active, explore new interests, and build friendships in a fun and supportive environment.

Our facilities, such as our theatre, swimming pool, sports hall, expansive playing fields and creative arts spaces, host a wide variety of activities led by both Holmwood staff and visiting professionals. For example, the British Theatre School has made use of our theatre to deliver inspiring drama workshops, while Piri Piri Cricket regularly uses our grounds and sports facilities to run high-level cricket coaching sessions.

These holiday camps are open to Holmwood House pupils as well as children from other schools, fostering a sense of community and broadening children’s experiences.
