johnhinton Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Curiously, the AVP Sports website doesn't say who the organisers are. The man who appears to run it (I think his first name is Mike) was very rude and patronising to my wife when she raised some concerns about the level of supervision in the swimming pool - I wonder if he has a problem talking to women. I did have a child who went to Scamps at the Dulwich Prep (which has terrific facilities) and he thoroughly enjoyed it, but dealing with Mike has been very unpleasant and we've decided not to send any of our children there.

Fuschia Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh dear, I think the guy is Michael. Has always been very polite to me.

BeccaL Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Likewise - daughter is nearly through her second week there and loves it. Michael was v helpful this week for us.

sglanzer Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, another vote for Scamps. My son, who is generally not very enthusiastic at all about organised extra-curricular activities in any form, really believes that the main priority of the organisers is for all the children to have lots of fun. I've been delighted to find some childcare that he actually enjoys.

Fuschia Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I was going to post about the fact that today (second day my 4 yo twins attended with their big brother) all 3 of them were miffed they had to leave at 4 and weren't booked in for the late session And boy twin really isn't someone who has ever been keen on organised activities, my twins don't start reception till September It is very well organised and calm quiet atmosphere I think Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24388-summer-holiday-activity-weeks-recommendations/#findComment-570727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunheadmum Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Like the idea if it being calm....or rather my eldest would. She tried the JAGS one but found it too full on - rugby really wasn't her thing! Will try Scamps next time around. Do they do things at half-term or is it summer only? We tried JAGS, Artastic and Crafty Cooks this year and Crafty Cooks was definitely the favourite. Hannah was great with my youngest (only 4) and there were games I understand and crafty stuff, so not only cooking. Just a shame that the full week course (rather than short classes) wasn't closer to home.

BeccaL Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think Scamps is just Easter and summer - daughter already campaigning to be able to go at Easter!

ryedalema Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We've done alternate weeks at Gumboots (Darrell Road 8-6pm) and Holiday Drop off at Dulwich College (extended day 8-5pm).Number one daughter's loved it - mostly swimming and trampolining everyday (at HDO) with a bit of dodge ball. PLenty of 'boy' sports too but she preferred these.Gumboots is lovely too. The minders are all really gentle and lots of fun had there too - bowling at E&C, Peckham Cinema etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24388-summer-holiday-activity-weeks-recommendations/#findComment-570862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note, that HDO will not be running on the 27th of August as this is a Bank Holiday.As we are one of the few activity camps running until this later date, we would suggest booking early to avoid missing a place. HDO has hit record numbers this summer reaching out to hundreds of new faces, as well as welcoming back the camps more regular attendees. Week 7 is now bookable online All dates are now bookable at www.holidaydropoff.comTo see our Latest newsletter please click below: Latest NewsletterBoth of my daughters went to the HDO club in June. I was slightly anxious as they'd never been to a holiday club before, and they are quite shy girls. I don't know why I was anxious, they had the most amazing time and wanted to go every day thereafter! Their favourite activities were trampoling and the water ball/pool fun. The staff are very friendly and approachable. It was clear the children at the club adored them. We're all looking forward to spending many more fun days with the HDO team in the summer holidays. Many thanks for providing a high quality, fun club for our childrenABOUT HDOHoliday Drop Off is a great way for children to learn new sports in a fun and exciting environment. HDO believe that sport should be enjoyed by all and have created a sports camp for children between the ages of Rising 5 -14 years old.HDO is a sports camp which is taught by coaches of various sporting backgrounds, helping develop sporting techniques or simply introducing children to sports they are yet to learn.Places are limited so its best to book in advance. Although you can turn up on the day (depending on availability) HDO have great discounts when booking online.CAMP DATESSummer Sports Camp:16th July - 31st August 2012Bookings can be made online at www.holidaydropoff.com or by clicking the book now button on the newsletter Parents Comments:My two children, aged 9 and 4 absolutely love Holiday Drop-Off. They enjoy the variety of activities on offer and meeting other children. They feel safe and secure in a familiar environment and always ask to go back each holiday. The staff are warm, friendly and welcoming and my children are always delighted to see them again. I have no hesitation in recommending Holiday Drop-Off.Holiday Drop Off - Holiday Boredom Solved:)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) (tu) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24388-summer-holiday-activity-weeks-recommendations/#findComment-571556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
