Age Appropriate Activities

Where appropriate children are split into age groups based on their school year. This allows us to offer activities most appropriate to their developmental stage.

Challenge by Choice

Lots of children in this age group are really ready for a greater challenge and the programme of adventure activities allows them to fulfil their potential. Those who are not quite so eager will be sensitively encouraged to push themselves as far as they are happy to.

Bridgwater YMCA exercises a ‘Challenge by Choice' policy, whereby no individual will be pressured to participate in an activity they are not ready for.

Experience tells us that even the shyest of children will quickly make friends and great achievements at Daycamps!
