Inside Ultimate Kids Camps: Daily Schedule & Behind-the-Scenes Prep

Discover how Ultimate Kids camps come to life with behind-the-scenes planning, team training, and a detailed daily structure that keeps children active, learning, and thriving.

---

Ever wondered what really goes into 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 pre-camp prep to the last high-five at home time, we’re pulling back the curtain on what makes our Ultimate Kids Multi-Sport Activity Camps the best in Merseyside – and the ones parents rave about long after summer ends.

🎯 Before the First Whistle: Camp Prep, Planning & Team Power

Think camps just happen? Not on our watch.

🧠 Team Training: No Ordinary Sports Coaches

Our staff don’t just turn up in trainers and wing it. Each member of the Ultimate Kids team is DBS-checked, fully trained and educated on all the in’s and out’s of how our camps operate.

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. Basically, we prep like we’re training for the Olympics of fun.

📦 Equipment, Uniforms & The “Where Did We Put That?” Phase

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 yes – someone always loses a whistle or two.

🗓 Games Schedule: Strategically Silly (But Seriously Good)

Our team doesn’t just plan games, they curate daily experiences. Our activity time tables are crafted months in advance by our management team so both staff and families know what is happening each day. For example, using our Growth Zone model, we balance high-energy activities with team-building, brain challenges, and good old-fashioned silliness. We know what keeps kids buzzing, and we design our days around variety, engagement, and joy.

📣 Marketing the Magic

Meanwhile, behind the laptops, our marketing team is hard at work ensuring every parent in Merseyside knows about the best holiday camps for kids in town. We target key terms like “summer camps Merseyside,” “activities camp,” and “kids events near me,” so our digital doors are as open as our actual ones.

Faye and Emily, our marketing geniuses put so much effort into designing our leaflets, scheduling email campaigns and creating constant social content to make sure that parents know as much as they can about our camps – we also do daily social media updates so you can see what your little ones are getting up to each day.

🏕 The Camp Day: Real Structure, Real Smiles

Here’s what a typical day looks like at an Ultimate Activity Camp (spoiler alert: it’s jam-packed with fun).

⏰ 09:00 – Arrival & Settling In

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.

👋 09:15 – Welcome Circle & 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 Activity energisers
  

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

🍎 10:30 – Snack Time: Fuel the Fun

A quick break to recharge with snacks and water. Some kids go for fruit, others proudly show off a packet of something crunchy. Either way, it’s smiles and refuelling all round.

🎲 11:00 – Game of the Day: It’s Go Time

One of the most anticipated moments! The Game of the Day is big, bold, and brimming with movement. From dodgeball battles to wacky relays and our famous Ultimate Tag, this session is about one thing: fun. It’s where camp spirit really shines.

🥪 12:00 – Lunch & Laugh

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

🛝 12:30 – Supervised Play: Child-Led Freedom

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 nearby to support, encourage, or join in if asked.

🏅 13:00 – The Main Event: Sports at Full Speed

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. There’s challenge, there’s teamwork, and there’s a LOT of high-fives.

💭 13:45 – Think Box: Fuel for the Mind

After all that action, we slow it down with our Think Box workshops. Topics range from emotional wellbeing and friendships to nutrition and growth mindset. Kids discuss, create, reflect, and share in safe, supportive mini-groups. It’s where we nurture the whole child, not just their sporting side.

🏆 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. Some are already asking, “Can I come back tomorrow?” And that’s when we know we’ve nailed it.

❤️ Why Families Choose Ultimate Kids (Again and Again)

We’re more than just a summer camp. We’re a community, a safe space, and a launchpad for confidence, friendships, and lifelong healthy habits. From the Growth Zone to the Think Box, we’re building something bigger than a day of childcare, we’re helping shape happy, healthy, resilient kids.
