October half-term Camp for extra Halloween fun
Looking for activities for your child to do this October-half term? Book a day or week at Camp Beaumont, there will be lots of spooky surprises in store for your little and not-so-little ones.
You’re the only camp in the area that has truly made an effort to provide a great offering during these current times. You have saved me from insanity and provided my children some normality during the summer holidays and half term.
