A Day in the Life at an Ultimate Kids Camp

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of creating the Ultimate Kids camp experience? Spoiler alert: it’s not magic (though it might feel like it). It’s meticulous planning, endless energy, and a whole lot of passion from our all-star team.

From behind the scenes camp prep to the last high-five at home time, we’re pulling back the curtain on what makes our Ultimate Kids Camps the best in Merseyside.

Behind the scenes: Camp Prep, Planning & Team Power

Think camps just happen? Not on our watch.

There is so much planning and passion that goes into each and every camp week.

Team Training

Our staff don’t just turn up in trainers and wing it. Each member of the Ultimate Kids team is DBS-checked, been through Ultimate Kids recruitment process and is fully trained.

Before camp even begins, our coaches go through rigorous training on safeguarding, behaviour management, emergency protocols, and how to deliver top-notch sports and activity sessions.

Equipment & Uniforms

Weeks in advance, it’s all systems go. We place our orders for brand-new dodgeballs, restock tug of war ropes, and prep every bib, cone, and clipboard like it’s a piece of treasure. Uniforms are folded, lanyards are labelled and were all set for when camp rolls around.

Games Schedule

Our team doesn’t just plan games, they curate daily experiences. Using our Growth Zone model, we balance high-energy activities with team-building, fun challenges, and exciting competitions. We know what keeps kids buzzing, and we design our days around variety, engagement, and joy.

Our Ultimate Kids Camp Day Schedule

09:00 – Arrival & Settling In

First things first – registration. Kids arrive, bags in hand and excitement on their faces. Our team greets everyone by name (we’ve got memory tricks), music’s playing, and the energy is electric. First-time nerves? Gone within minutes.

09:30 – The Daily Mile

We kick off with introductions and our beloved Daily Mile – 15 minutes of walking, jogging, or skipping that wakes up our minds and muscles. It’s a national movement we’re proud to be part of, and it sets the tone for an active, focused day.

09:45 – Growth Zone: Three Stations, Infinite Learning

Enter the Growth Zone – our signature carousel of fast-paced, skill-building activities. Children rotate through:

• Problem Solving challenges
  
• Team Building games
  
• High energy activities
  

It’s fun, it’s developmental, and it’s where you’ll hear the most laughter. Think “learning through play”.

10:30 – Snack Time

A quick break to recharge with snacks and water.

11:00 – Game of the Day

One of the most anticipated moments! The Game of the Day is big, bold, and brimming with movement. From Spike ball to Space invaders and Battle-Royal Tag, this session is about one thing: fun. It’s where camp spirit really shines.

12:00 – Lunch

Time to relax, refuel, and connect. Children sit with their group, chatting about their favourite bits so far. 

12:30 – Supervised Play

Not every minute has to be structured. Our Supervised Play time lets kids choose how they want to unwind – maybe it’s inventing a new game, maybe it’s chilling in the shade. We’re always present to support, encourage, or join in if asked.

13:00 – The Main Event

Now it’s time to turn up the volume. The Main Event is our biggest physical session of the day. Think football, dodgeball, handball, and more scaled to suit the group’s age and ability.

14:30 – Awards & Celebration

Before home time, we gather as a full camp to celebrate the day. Two stand-out stars are named Ultimate Kids of the Day and receive medals and cheers. This moment matters, it’s not just about being the best, but being kind, courageous, and committed.

15:00 – Home Time

As parents arrive, kids leave buzzing with stories and new friendships.

Why Families Choose Ultimate Kids

We’re more than just a multi-sports camp. We’re a community, a safe space, and a launchpad for confidence, friendships, and lifelong healthy habits. From our Growth Zone activities to Ultimate Kids of the Day Awards, and all the work that goes on behind the scenes, we’re building something bigger than a day of childcare, we’re helping shape happy, healthy, resilient kids.
