Camp Creative: A Summer of Creativity and Growth!
This July, Camp Creative returned bigger and better than ever—running for a full four weeks of creativity, collaboration, and fun! With our extended full-day format (8:30am – 5:00pm), students had even more time to immerse themselves in exciting activities and develop valuable life skills.
Over the month, campers explored everything from drama warm-ups, storytelling, and stagecraft to leadership challenges and team projects. They scripted, directed, and performed original plays, took part in production meetings, and worked together on a wide variety of creative tasks. Every week brought new opportunities to grow in confidence, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Alongside the fun, our focus remained on skill-building that lasts far beyond the stage. Students developed creativity, resilience, and collaboration skills that will serve them in school, friendships, and future challenges.
🌟 Summer Highlights Included:
Creating and performing original productions
Leading and participating in group projects
Team challenges that built communication and leadership skills

Camp Creative: A Spectacular May Half Term!
We’ve just wrapped up one of our most exciting holiday programmes yet—and what a week it was! This May Half Term marked the return of Camp Creative, and with it, a brand-new full-day format. Running from 8:30am to 5:00pm, the extended hours gave our students more time to dive into creativity, collaboration, and fun—and they made the most of every minute!
Throughout the week, children explored a wide range of creative and leadership activities. From high-energy drama warm-ups and imaginative storytelling to full-scale productions where they scripted, directed, and performed their own plays—our campers brought incredible energy, originality, and teamwork to every challenge.
Alongside the fun, we focused on building essential life skills that go far beyond the stage. Students developed:
🎭 Creative & Performance Skills – storytelling, character work, directing, and stagecraft
🧠 Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking – planning, decision-making, and adapting under pressure
🗣️ Communication – verbal and non-verbal expression, active listening, and giving clear instructions
🤝 Social & Leadership Skills – teamwork, cooperation, turn-taking, and peer feedback
💪 Physical Coordination – balance, agility, and body awareness
⏱️ Time & Task Management – prioritising, organising, and working to deadlines
🎯 Emotional Resilience – patience, perseverance, confidence, and self-regulation
These aren’t just theatre skills—they’re life skills. Whether working as part of a team, leading a project, or expressing themselves with confidence, students left with tools they can use in school, friendships, and future challenges.
🎬 Highlights Included:
Creating and performing original plays in small groups
Running their own production meetings—plotting, casting, staging, and designing
Giving and receiving feedback in a supportive environment
Participating in engaging team challenges and leadership tasks
The feedback? Overwhelmingly positive! Students told us how much they enjoyed the week, how proud they were of what they created, and how much they grew—while having a tremendous amount of fun.
We’re already looking forward to the next one. If Camp Creative was anything to go by, the future is bright—and brimming with creativity!
A Fantastic Time at Camp Creative This February!
February’s Camp Creative was an absolute triumph, bursting with energy, imagination, and plenty of fun! Our young performers came together once again for an action-packed week of creativity, collaboration, and exciting artistic expression.
From the moment they arrived, students dove straight into a world of drama, storytelling, and performance, embracing new challenges with enthusiasm. We kicked off with an array of engaging drama games that not only ignited their creativity but also helped build confidence and teamwork. Laughter and excitement filled the air as they explored dynamic ways to bring characters to life on stage.
The students took on the role of writers, directors, and performers, crafting their very own original stories. These imaginative tales were filled with adventure, humour, and heartfelt moments, each one uniquely brought to life through their hard work and innovative ideas. From designing costumes to experimenting with staging, every student played a vital role in shaping their performances, demonstrating incredible teamwork and artistic flair.
Camp Creative was a whirlwind of excitement, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the magic of the performing arts. We are incredibly proud of the energy, enthusiasm, and creativity that each child brought to the camp.
A huge thank you to our talented young performers for making February’s Camp Creative such an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to see what they will create next time!

CAMP CREATIVE WAS A BLAST!
A Jolly Time at Camp Creative This Christmas!
This year’s Camp Creative at Christmas was a festive and fun-filled experience that left students with memories to cherish and new skills to carry forward. Our holiday programme brought together budding performers for a whirlwind of creativity, collaboration, and festive spirit!
Throughout the programme, students had a jolly time exploring a variety of exciting activities. They started by learning new and engaging drama games that encouraged teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. The laughter and energy were contagious as students got into character and explored different ways of expressing themselves.
A highlight of the camp was the performance of Christmas poems, where students had the opportunity to showcase their individual talents and bring classic festive words to life with their own flair.
The creative spirit soared as students took on the roles of directors, performers, and writers for their very own Christmas stories. They crafted original tales full of festive magic, each one unique and full of imagination. The students not only performed these stories but also took charge of the creative process, designing costumes, experimenting with make-up ideas, and crafting their own set designs for their productions and original characters.
The week was a perfect blend of creativity, expression, and teamwork, and we couldn’t be prouder of how our students embraced each challenge with enthusiasm. Camp Creative at Christmas is a wonderful way to explore new talents, develop confidence, and celebrate the holiday season through the arts.
A huge thank you to all the students for their fantastic contributions, and we can’t wait to see what they will create next time!
Our October programme kicked off with a dynamic first week of Shaping Stories and Building Leaders. Here, our young creators took the reins—crafting original stories, guiding their peers through lively production meetings, and refining their narratives through rehearsals and performances. It was a true showcase of collaboration and creativity.
In week two From Script to Stage!, the spotlight was on performance skills, where students brought scripted characters to life by delving into emotions, backstories, and mastering staging techniques. But the creative journey didn’t stop there—they also explored the world of design, crafting costumes, sets, and make-up to fully realise their characters. Each student confidently presented their design choices to their peers, gaining valuable feedback and building self-assurance.
Throughout the two action-packed weeks, our students not only honed their literacy and performance skills but also strengthened essential life skills, leadership abilities, design thinking, and personal development. A truly transformative experience from concept to curtain call!
