A different kind of holiday camp
Creative, energetic and confidence-building.
Not every child wants a sports-only holiday club. Shine Creative Camp gives children a full day of music, street dance, performance, creative games and group activities, with the structure parents need and the energy children love.
What children will do
Hands-on creative activities every day.
No previous music, dance or performance experience is needed. Children can join in at their own level.
Street dance
High-energy, age-appropriate street dance routines and movement games that build confidence and coordination.
Rap & singing
Creative voice and performance activities where children can explore words, rhythm, expression and confidence.
Team games
Group challenges, creative games and outdoor play to help children make friends and enjoy the full camp experience.
Limited pilot places available.
Book individual days or the full four-day camp.
Why Shine?
More than childcare. More than keeping busy.
Our aim is to help children feel brave, included, encouraged and proud of themselves.
Creative, not just active
Children explore DJing, rhythm, street dance, rap, singing and performance in a way that feels fun, accessible and exciting.
Led by real creative talent
Our team includes an international award-winning DJ, a multi-award-winning street dancer and dance coach, and award-winning rappers and singers who have appeared on national TV.
Confidence comes first
The aim is not to create “perfect performers”. The aim is to help children feel encouraged, safe and willing to try.
Great for working parents
The standard day runs from 9:30am to 3:30pm, with an extended day option from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

Is this only for confident children?
No. In fact, it is ideal for children who could benefit from growing in confidence. We create a supportive environment where children are encouraged, not pressured.
Can my child attend for just one day?
Yes. You can book individual days or the full four-day camp.

Can I pay using childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare?
Not for the May pilot. We hope to explore this for future camps if the pilot is successful.
