XUK offers outstanding residential childcare, with a vast range of activities - all in a safe, friendly and cosy environment.
We want all of our campers to feel at home and to love the camp way of life.
We are registered with OFSTED and safeguarding the children in our care remains our primary responsibility.
We promote healthy eating and choice. Breakfast options include continental and traditional cooked. Lunch and dinner always include:
Our BBQs have become famous from Scotland to Spain, so we now have two per week!
Have a look at our sample menu.
Safety underpins everything we do. We're regulated by OFSTED who rated us 'outstanding' on their last inspection.
We do much more than just meet OFSTED's requirements. We've created our own safety system and have implemented all of the following:
We'd completely understand if you'd like to call and chat about specific safety issues at camp. If you have the time, please have a look at our Policies and Procedures.
Children at camp always have an opportunity to call home each week. If you’d like to contact your children, we have a camp phone line and email address.
Kids and teens can bring mobile phones to camp. The Juniors phones are kept in the office and are accessible during 'phoning home time'. Our inters and teens are fully responsible for their own phones and can use them during their free time.
Every camper can let us know which friends they would like to share with at the time of booking or closer to the time of camp. Do not worry if your child is coming alone, we put in a special effort to make sure we put every camper in a fun and friendly dorm with other campers of a similar age.
We run an XUK bank which will look after your child’s pocket money. On a daily basis money can be signed in and out to spend on trips, buy a healthy snack or XUK merchandise!
Every week, our staff vote for the camper who embodies everything we love about XUK. The ‘Citizen of the Week’ will be helpful, fun, caring and enthusiastic all week long. And you’ll love it if your child wins because we’ll invite them back to camp next year for one week free of charge!
Just wanted to let you know how DELIGHTED all the kids (from Zamora plus 1 from Madrid) were with Xkeys camp.
They had a fantastic time. In my experience, as a teacher in both UK and Spain, I think it's difficult to meet teenagers' expectations today. So I take my hat off to you and your crew. Many thanks to all the monitors, yourselves and anybody who is involved in making it work!
