Think about what time you’re likely to wake up, when each person's energy levels are naturally high and low, and how exhausting or relaxing you would like your weekend to be! Use that as your starting point for planning your weekend.

There isn’t a right amount of activities to do in a day, some families opt for 1-2, the majority do 3-5 and the most you could have time for is around 6-7.

Alternating between physically demanding and more relaxing sessions can give your bodies time to recover whilst keeping your minds engaged. Some families choose to have one active day and one relaxed day as another balanced option.

You will want some energy for the Games and Entertainment too; so don’t use it all up on the activities.

Activities generally start on the hour or the half hour, and finish 10 minutes before, so there is just enough time to travel between back-to-back activities if they are nearby, but many are more than 10 minutes travel time away from each other.

If you turn up more than 5 minutes late for an activity you will not be allowed to participate.

It is a good idea to leave a 30-60 minute gap between your activities to ensure you are on time and for the following; eating and drinking, topping up sunscreen or bug spray, resting or napping, toilet trips, longer travel times, changing clothes.

Plan at least 1 hour for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner stops as you will get hungry (if you are buying from the Food Villages you may have to queue at peak times, and if you are cooking remember to factor that in)!

The showers can get busy in the mornings and evenings, so maybe consider having a break for this in the middle of the day.

It is also nice to leave gaps just for fun! Many families find value in just enjoying the beautiful location, wandering up to the drop-in activities, watching other campers do activities, hanging out and chatting to people.

The Patrol Games and Quiz start promptly after the last activity sessions and get busy, so if you want a good spot there, make sure you leave a gap after your last activity to be there early.

Don't miss the Group Photo on Saturday at 17:10 just before the Patrol Games. It's a great Camp tradition and memento of the weekend.

The activities take place over a very large area so making sure you plan your activities in a sensible order can help avoid wasting too much time and energy travelling between them.

Check the map and estimated travel time between different zones before Enrolling.

Plan to spend some time doing activities in one zone, then move onto another that's nearby.

Try to spread your credits out across the weekend instead of using them all in one day.

If you plan to use a lot more credits than are included in your ticket, upgrading can work out cheaper than adding lots of extra credits.

The credits reflect how expensive an activity is to run, not necessarily the amount of fun you will have doing it! Some of the best loved activities are low credit or drop-in activities.

Plan some time where you will do the drop-in activities. See which ones will be nearby when you plan to take a break between Enrolled activities and Pencil them into your schedule so you remember.

Camp is all about doing activities together with your kids.

You will likely spend most of your time doing activities as a family unit; it's a great way to bond across age groups.

You can break off into smaller groups whenever you like. If doing this, aligning your schedules to have your free time together and meeting up is a nice way to all feel connected throughout the day.

If you are in a large family or group, for the activities you want to do together earmark a few potential times and Enrol in those first whilst sessions have lots of places available.

Don't be afraid to do activities alone, it's the perfect way to meet new people and you're all doing the same thing so it's easy to strike up a conversation.

Enrolling together (either in person, on a video call or in a group chat) can help with cross referencing each other's preferences and making decisions.

Trying new things is the very essence of Camp; ensure you use this amazing opportunity to try new things that you might never do otherwise.

If you don’t recognise the name of an activity, open it up to read the description and find out what it's about as you might uncover a gem!

Pick at least one activity that is out of your comfort zone and that you will find challenging. Something you think would be scary or boring or embarrassing. Camp is very supportive and a great place to break out of your normal self surrounded by motivating and encouraging people.

The atmosphere first thing in the morning has a beautiful serenity to it, particularly in Centrecamp and the Intrepid Forest. It’s a lovely time to do a relaxed activity and soak up the vibe.

It's well worth booking a Spa Session or Wellness Treatment into your weekend to help you rejuvenate your tired body! Make sure you book your passes and Enrol in these early though as they always sell out. The Sanctuary is an Adults Only space.

Utilise the Kids Only activities for some free childcare; allowing you to spend 1-1 time with another family member or having some you time in the Sanctuary. Kids only activities are timed to start and end so you have time to drop them off, do an activity nearby, and get back to pick them up.

Priority Enrolment opens one week before Standard Enrolment.

Only a small number of people attending have access to Priority Enrolment so it is highly unlikely that an activity will become full, however some individual sessions may fill up.

Enrolling at the beginning of the Priority Enrolment period will ensure you have the most choice and availability.

Some activities and sessions will fill up very quickly once Standard Enrolment opens, but there are more than enough activity places for everyone attending to have an incredible weekend.

Ensure you've done all the basics like completing your profile, adding group members and assigning or transferring tickets well in advance so you can sort any issues and are ready to go.

Having a rough plan of what activities you might like to do is essential, but plan flexibly with plenty of backup options in mind.

Let your kids pick a selection they like the look of, but warn them in advance that it's not guaranteed they will get them to help manage their expectations.

Look through the list of activities and Favourite everything you are interested in; when Enrolment opens you will be able to use the filters to quickly get back to your Favourites.

When you've decided what activities you might like to do, make a note of your order of preference to use when Enrolment opens.

Plan to use your credits when your kids naturally have the most energy to avoid the risk of them being too tired to participate and the credits being wasted.

Be ready with your device 5 mins before Enrolment opens. While you can use a mobile phone to enrol, you may find it easier to do on a laptop or a device with a larger screen.

Enrol in activities in order of preference, and have a back up option in mind for each one so that you can swiftly move on if something is full.

Working backwards from the end of the event can give more availability, as most people work chronologically through the weekend.

Come back to it a few days later. Your choices might change after the adrenaline rush of Enrolment opening and availability will have shifted too.

Camp is about having a varied weekend discovering lots of new things so we do not endorse the mindset of there being ‘one activity’ that you feel you must get! However, if there’s one activity that you really want to do above anything else, here are a few tips on how to get a place;

If there's an activity or session that you missed out on, join the waitlist! It doesn't use any credits to join and people are always swapping activities, so there’s a good chance you might get a place.

People are more likely to drop out of activities in the morning when they are tired from the night before, or last thing when they are exhausted from their day!

Enrolment stays open until the event ends, and you can make changes to your schedule as many times as you like.

Print out your schedules, or save them as your phone wallpaper, so you can easily access it onsite without any signal. Printing is better because you don’t have to worry about carrying your phone or it running out of battery.

Plan what you will need in your daypack each day to be able to participate in your activities without having to go back to your tent too often.

Enrolment can be as stressful or exciting as you make it!

Don’t panic and don’t be disheartened if you can’t fit everything in or don’t get a particular activity.

There are so many incredible things happening across the weekend; whatever you end up doing you will have a fantastic time.

We guarantee some of the best moments will come from the least expected places.
