Camp Beaumont

What Camp Beaumont does

Camp Beaumont is the UK's longest-running multi-activity day camp provider, operating 50+ camps across London and the Home Counties for children aged 3-14. Founded in 1982 and part of the Inspiring Learning Group, the company runs four age-segmented programmes (Playtime for ages 3-4, Magic for 5-7, Active for 8-11, and Teens for 12-14), each with distinct staff-to-child ratios (1:8, 1:12, and 1:15 respectively). The product portfolio has expanded to include EPIC Weeks themed programmes (Coding, Wildlife, Adventure, Tennis Academy, Swim School, English in Action), a Make-a-Bear with Teddy Tastic workshop add-on, and Adventure Devon, a residential camp at Skern Lodge in North Devon.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional direct-to-consumer e-commerce and operations platform: a Webflow-based marketing website, a booknow.campbeaumont.co.uk booking portal with real-time availability and location search, Klarna for three-installment payment splitting, PonchoPay for tax-free childcare and childcare voucher redemption, Leadoo for behavioural tracking and live chat, Google Analytics and Adsense, and a GDPR- and PCI-compliant data infrastructure. The operational backbone is the seasonal staffing of 1,000+ individuals trained and DBS-checked across Ofsted-registered venues, with the company itself being Ofsted-registered at an excellent rating.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with prices around £40-58 per child per day depending on location, plus attach-rate revenue from FLEX booking protection (£4/day), Early Risers extended drop-off (£6-7.50), Extra Slice late collection (£6-7.50), Teddy Tastic workshops (£18), and premium EPIC Weeks and residential pricing. Camp Beaumont also operates a host-school venue model where independent schools rent facilities to the company during school holidays, generating a transaction-style revenue line without operational burden on the schools. Marketing is conducted through the website, social media (Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter), email newsletters with promotional discount codes, and word-of-mouth referrals from existing parents.

Direct peers

• Super Camps: One of the UK's largest multi-activity day camp operators, running Ofsted-registered holiday camps for children aged 4-14 at independent school venues. Directly comparable to Camp Beaumont on product (multi-activity day camps), customer (working parents), distribution (school-venue model), and pricing tier.
• Barracudas Activity Day Camps: UK-based multi-activity day camp provider for children aged 4½-14, with a comparable 50+ location footprint concentrated in southern England. Closest direct competitor on activity mix, age segmentation, school-venue model, and parent value proposition.
• Fit For Sport: Ofsted-registered provider of multi-activity and sport-focused holiday camps for primary-aged children across the UK. Comparable product offering, age range, and school-venue distribution model to Camp Beaumont.
• Premier Sport: UK provider of sports coaching and multi-activity holiday camps at school venues for children aged 5-12. Overlaps with Camp Beaumont on activity-based programming, school holiday seasonality, and Ofsted-registered wraparound care.
• JCA Adventure (Condover Hall): UK residential activity camp operator (Condover Hall, Newnham Park) targeting children and school groups. Directly comparable to Camp Beaumont's Adventure Devon residential offering, with similar multi-activity programming and target demographic.

Broad incumbents

• PGL Travel: UK's largest provider of residential activity holidays and educational trips for school groups and families. Overlaps with Camp Beaumont on multi-activity programming, age range, and educational/childcare mission, but operates at much larger scale and primarily a residential model.
• Kingswood Camps: UK residential activity centre operator (formerly part of Anytime Leisure) running multi-activity programmes for school groups and families. Comparable to Camp Beaumont's Adventure Devon on residential multi-activity programming and educational customer base.

Emerging players

• Mother Nature Science: UK provider of STEM-focused holiday camps and in-school workshops for children aged 5-12. Partially overlapping with Camp Beaumont's Coding Weeks / EPIC STEM programmes and same school-venue model, but with a narrower science/STEM specialism.
• Stagecoach Performing Arts (Holiday Workshops): UK performing arts education provider running school-holiday workshops for children aged 4-18. Partial overlap with Camp Beaumont's Arts & Crafts and themed EPIC programming, and similar school-venue distribution model, but specialised rather than multi-activity.

Others

• Skern Lodge: North Devon-based activity centre that is the host venue for Camp Beaumont's Adventure Devon residential camp. While a commercial supplier rather than a direct competitor, Skern operates its own residential programmes and is therefore an adjacent operator in the same outdoor education ecosystem.
