My boys loved Active Adventure camps! There plenty of activities on offer, like archery, axe throwing and swimming. They get to learn a lot about wildlife and plants and spend all day outside which is great! Overall great experience!
The Leys always offers fantastic camps, and my son is a regular attendee. This May was exceptional, and he enjoyed every day of it. The highlight for him was definitely the go-karts and swimming,
The camp at Holme Grange was fantastic! The children had plenty to do, and their feedback each evening was excellent. They particularly enjoyed the exciting activities on site and had swimming lessons every day,
Alfie had a great time at Bilton Grange Active Camps. It was very well run, and he loved the activities. Although the swimming pool was offline, the team compensated with other amazing activities. I highly recommend Active Camps, and Alfie will be coming back in the summer,
Thank you, Wendy, for teaching my child new skills in the kitchen. Hopefully, this means they can start cooking for me and my wife! They loved the cooking experience and will definitely be returning for the next course. I highly recommend Active Chefs at Sibford.
My daughter loved the Active Chefs program at Sibford. She came home excitedly talking about a visit from ''Paul Hollwood.'' She enjoyed making Various dishes and still had time for activities before and after the cooking sessions. She raved about it all evening and said that Wendy, the teacher, was fantastic. She is definitely going again,
Kids are always happy to go here! Days filled with fun and a lot pf activities :)
My son loves the holiday clubs in Dorchester. He always asks me to collect him later because he's having so much fun! The staff are super friendly and there is such a wide range of activities offered. He's always looking forward to the next holiday!
Very friendly staff and days are jam packed full of fun for the kids. Super handy timings for working parents too.
All the staff are friendly, kind, and organized! They keep the activities new and interesting.
Fantastic staff. Penny has been attending active camps since she was 5. She always comes home happy, fulfilled and tired. I wouldn’t send Penny anywhere else. Much recommended
My son absolutely loves it here and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The Leys staff are really helpful and kind, and always greet with smiles. They have a range of activities that cater to all children. There was even a bouncy castle which was a big hit!
Such a great club with such a range of activities - amazing that they have access to Leys swimming pool. The staff are really good with the children and I know they are in really good hands. Thank you 😊
My son has visited every school holiday since last summer, starting at the one for younger kids and moving onto the outdoorsy one now he is a little older. While he is one of the younger ones to do the outdoor camp he loves it, and the staff at Sibford are amazing with him. It's lovely to see the same faces every holiday, and they always recognise my son and make him feel very welcomed and safe. He comes home happy every evening and speaks fondly about what he has done that day. He will continue to return each holiday and has even roped his friends in to join! Editing to add special mention to Will and Pete for their general awesomeness, although every staff member we've met has been wonderful and our son speaks very highly of them all.
I enjoyed my experience with active camp a lot, my camp leader was called Pete and he was very helpful and supportive and really enjoyed it and hope to be coming back soon!
My daughter is Type 1 diabetic and when I enquired with Oxford Active about my daughter attending one of their camps, they couldn't have been more helpful and proactive.
Our son, aged 6, had an amazing time at the holiday at Blackheath prep! He has come home raving about all the fun he’s had at camp from arts and crafts to sports games and fun challenges. This is the first time he has been excited to go to a holiday camp as we usually struggle to get him out of the house! The staff were very welcoming, and have helped with my son’s confidence, especially when he was extremely nervous on the first day. We will definitely be back for more fun over the summer!
My daughter came home and begged me to book her in again the next day! She had so much fun!
My son aged 6 had his first couple of days at the Colchester site at Holmwood House. He has had a fabulous time lots of exciting activities and the staff were all friendly and professional. He will be back for the next holidays and we will be recommending to all his school friends.

Jul 19,2024I consider myself something of a holiday club connoisseur having used these and other clubs for the last ten years. Oxford active is by far the best I’ve ever used. As close to perfect as you’re going to find, good safeguarding, good activities and ratios. Staff are experienced and good at what they do. Slightly marked down as sometimes wonder if an online system where you can manage your account a bit easier or even see a couple of photos/updates would be good especially when younger.
