Louise acts as the educational consultant for the school camps and manages the overall organisation and running of the camps.
Louise creates an alternative timetable to the sports timetables, devising activities which promote language, communication and social skills. The exciting themed weeks include opportunities to practise reading, writing and numeracy while having fun; keeping up those vital skills during school holidays. Children enjoy the creative themes which include drama, team games, food technology, arts and crafts and treasure hunts.
