Parents relax
Parents, relax with piece of mind knowing that not only is your child safe and well for the school holidays, they are creating memories, new friendships and learning valuable life skills under the expert supervision of our experienced and qualified team.
Even those who normally have trouble getting the kids motivated to put down the tech and step outside have been astonished by their child's achievements at Camp. Don't just take our word for it, have a look at what Parents/Guardians of Omega kids are saying about our Activity Camps.
Our land sessions run on a 1:12 ratio and our water sessions run on a 1:8 ratio to ensure plenty of individual support is available from the instructor. We are able to organise extra support for young people with additional needs, if this is something you require, drop us an email.
All activities are weather dependent but Omega Camp is an Outdoor Activity Camp, we run come rain or shine, so make sure you know what the kids need to bring and that they dress for the weather.
