SEND Mutli-Activity Camp (Newport Pagnell)

Activity Description

What is a Special Needs Camp? ​

These camps cater for children and young adults who require a specific type of care due to a learning need or disability. We provide a stimulating experience to those with learning and emotional needs, as well as physical and mental disabilities. This includes communication and interaction, Social and emotional mental health difficulties (SEMH, cognitive learning difficulties and sensory and/or physical needs.

TIMES OF THE DAY

Parents can book short days of 4 hours or extended days of up to 7 hours to meet your family needs and requirements. EHC plans To be eligible to attend these camps, your child will need an Education, Health and Care plan, also known as an EHCP. Upon booking your child onto camp, we ask that you send us a copy of their EHCP so that we can have a better idea of their needs and how best to support them.

The ratio of staff to campers is usually higher on these camps, due to the personal care and attention that the campers will require.
