Summer holiday! Embarking from Twickenham
SUMMER HOLIDAYS ….are you ready for some FUN!!?? 🎉
Looking for a London summer camp for tweens aged 10–13 with serious wow-factor? Today we head to Thorpe Lakes, the UK’s premier watersports park, for the ultimate adventure.
Let loose in the giant Aqua Park, speed along on a Ringo ride and chill on the “beach, set across 150 acres of lakes and parkland, this is the BEST way to spend a summer day.
Release your inner ninja on a giant floating Aqua Park! Think wobbly balance beams, towering slides, bouncy trampolines, thrilling climbing walls & SO much fun… but that’s not all.
The fun does not stop as tweens hop onto a high-energy Ringo ride – giant inflatable donut rings pulled across the water, spinning and gliding at adjustable speeds. WOW!
Plenty of time to eat, chill, grab an ice cream and maybe some beach games too.
Join us, the ultimate tween-only summer club, big days out for tweens in need of bigger adventures. 🌊

Yes, we do — but don’t worry. In our experience, once the fun begins, phones are naturally forgotten. While our mission is to create screen-free days, we believe the best way to do that isn’t by confiscating phones or enforcing strict rules - especially in new or unfamiliar settings where children may feel more comfortable having them, and parents like to stay in touch.
Given the opportunity for real-life adventures, movement and connection, reliance on screens simply becomes unnecessary.
Please note that all valuables are brought along at your own risk. We can’t take responsibility for lost or damaged phones or personal items.
This allows tweens to identify each other and group leaders to easily keep track of all the tribe.
Group leaders will be at the front and back of the group to ensure everyone is where they are meant to be.
We run from Kingston, Twickenham, Richmond, Ealing Broadway, Wimbledon, London Waterloo & Canary Wharf.
Canary Wharf trips are longer days (9-5) and part of our boutique Corporate Tween series.
We can arrange a special adventure day for a group leaving from a different area. We also offer bespoke school discount codes & free trips for local reps in new areas. Please get in touch to discuss.
Safety:
At Thorpe Lakes, safety is their top priority. They operate with a 1:20 lifeguard ratio, with staff positioned on the inflatables, in the water, and on elevated towers to ensure full visibility at all times.
All participants receive a safety briefing before entering the water, and wearing a lifejacket is mandatory. Guests must be competent swimmers, and anyone struggling will be immediately assisted by a lifeguard and, if necessary, removed from the session for their safety.
They do not allow rough play or open water swimming, and participants are advised to return to the inflatables promptly if they fall in.
Your child’s safety is our top priority. We are a registered company, fully insured, DBS compliant, have full training and have carried out all checks and risk assessments for each individual step of each individual activity. A first aider is on every trip with ofsted recognized paediatric first aid training. Only age appropriate activities are scheduled with opt out & quiet time options for all children if needed. Please visit the "about us" section for all information on insurance, checks, training and risk assessments. Any additional documents are available on request, please email if you still have any questions.
All our dates are bookable via Bright Horizons. Unfortunately we are unable to register for government funded childcare vouchers. Registration for childcare vouchers is only possible when the childcare runs from a fixed setting (domestic setting or a venue or community center) . As we are solely excursion based without any fixed address we are not able to register for this service.
