At Country House Camp we ensure that every camper will engage in activities that are new, challenging and that require the use of new vocabulary every day.

We strongly believe that a combination of structured activities and choice provides the optimal growth experience. To ensure that all campers experience the full breadth of opportunities available, campers are assigned to the morning activity period. This will mean that they will all take part in Art & Craft, Drama & Dance, and Sport & Adveture in the mornings. 

However, to allow campers to grow and specialise in the areas they are most interested in, campers choose whatever activity they wish to take, in the afternoon period.

In addition, we always have at least one or two external workshops during each camp, in which we invite professionals to come to give the girls special sessions on anything from circus skills or african drumming, to bushcraft, graffiti or screenprinting!  Every year is different!

We also have a charity link with Over the Wall, a wonderful charity that helps children with serious illnesses and their families have the rare opportunity to enjoy some therapeutic recreation in specialised residential camps.  In addition, we work closely with a volunteering business called Inspire, with whom we run volunteering projects in Africa.  Inspire will come to give the girls workshops every other year in CHC, to learn about teambuilding, and how we can help those less fortunate in Africa.
