Barracudas Activity Day Camps Reviews 

Our 12 year old daughter had 3 amazing days at Barracudas in Cambridge St Faiths. On her first day she was a little unsure thinking it may be a little young for her, but she immediately made friends with children her own age and begged us to send her again the following 2 days. The manager Lucy was fantastic…she booked our daughter in at the last minute and continued to help and coordinate everyone. Our daughter had an amazing time with loads of activities and met even more new friends over the subsequent days.

A huge thank you to Lucy and the team!! Will definitely have our daughter back when we return to Cambridge later in August.

THANK YOU! Ten out of ten!!

High Wycombe camp has Amazing consistent staff, fun and interesting
Have been attending Easter and summer camps since 2019 and have found nothing else to compare x

The staff are wonderful and the venue and activities are superb the children always come home very excited and looking forward to their next visit

Today's first impression- this was my daughters first session and sadly I felt the welcome and instructions once on site were very poor. Considering some children may be feeling anxious or just nervous for "first time" events, I felt that the welcome could have been better. Im hoping she has a good day but so far feel very disappointed.

My son had the greatest time today at club. Came home buzzing and loved his coach - Todd. Well done team Chigwell !

My daughter has attended Chelmsford Barracudas this summer and has had a great time. There is a wide variety of activities on offer and my daughter loves that she can choose between two options for each of the sessions during the day. The staff are friendly and professional and the venue has parking making drop offs and collection easy. A great kids activity camp!

We chose barracudas for our 4yo based on the great reviews we read. It was his first time at a holiday camp and he absolutely loved it. I originally booked 3 days and have since booked another 4 days at the request of my kid. He loves the wide variety of activities offered to him and the adults all seem great. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I was told we would receive a key worker that was assigned to my kid who I could speak to but I am not aware that this has happened. But overall, great experience so far and would recommend!

Our daughter went for two days at the Tonbridge club. The first day was all good and happy at the end of the day with the different activities. Second day unfortunately there was a young girl (8) who decided to pick on our daughter and proceed with bullying tactics verbally and physically the whole day ruining our daughter’s second day. ( the bully wasn’t there on the first day). The reason we have to give a 2 star is because none of the staff in the whole day picked up on the bully and obviously said nothing, this is not acceptable and hopefully this will be fed back to the Tonbridge staff!

I enrolled my son in the camp last Thursday. While the activities looked exciting, his experience wasn’t quite what I had hoped for. He mentioned there was a Motorsport activity that he would have loved to take part in, but only three of other kids were selected to ride the Jeep, and he wasn’t chosen. He also said there was only one Jeep available.

During the swimming session, although he enjoys being in the water, he doesn’t yet know how to swim. He ended up staying in a corner because he thought the water was too deep. I was hoping someone would have supported or encouraged him a bit—perhaps helped him get more involved or even offered some basic guidance in the water. He also said the water felt very cold.

He did enjoy other parts of the camp and is keen to go again, but I’m also considering trying other SuperCamps to see if they offer a more supportive experience.

I also wanted to mention that he came home wearing two pairs of trousers. He’s only five, and while he’s quite independent, I would expect some support from staff when it comes to changing clothes or using the toilet.

My daughter enjoys the wide variety of activities and all the staff seem very welcoming. Big shout out to Lucy at St Faiths extremely helpful with my enquiry to add another day and making sure my child was still in piranhas! Thank you! A brilliant organised summer camp which takes the stress out of the long holidays.

Absolutely negligent

It was our first time with Barracuda's and my son come home besides himself. My 5 year old was hit, kicked, bullied and verbally abused by other children and the staff on duty haven't even realised it, nor paid attention. He was called a "donkey poo" by other children in the" class " he was put in and been hurt physically. I'm absolutely and beyond words just how disappointing this camp is towards the little children. There may be many good reviews about the order children's parents but it's absolutely shocking how they don't care and look after the little ones. Barracudas may advertise well , but the service they provided is horrendous. Imagine having this as a first experience for your child, and try to send them a summer camp after this , let alone the premium prices you pay ... Only for your child to be hit and kicked .... ! Absolutely negligent, I can't ever recommend this camp or this company to anyone.

This is our first time at the Barrucudas camp and my boys LOVED it!!! All the group leaders and staffs are very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back again!!!

My little one has enjoyed veing part of this holiday club and loves to explore varieties of activities throughout the day! Definitely recommend it!

The admin team are so helpful, they helped me make and change my booking and gave me all the information I needed before I sent my daughter to camp! She was really nervous before going as this is something she’s never done before, but the camp staff were so accommodating and made sure she was included and enjoying herself. She’s already asking me when she can go back!!

Great experience both at camp for my child and with dealing with staff in head office! Both staff on camp and in the office are great at answering queries and making you feel at ease!

I wouldnt even give it a 1 if I could I would give it negatives it is run by teenagers clearly hating it the whole time and when a fight starts they do nothing to prevent it and they ignore the group half the time on their phones waring to all those attending Farintons version they are what I wrote this review about

Day 2 of my son attending barracudas at St Catherines School Twickenham he was assaulted again by the same boy. This time hit in the face with a water bottle. The staff did nothing about this as it appears they would rather not get involved even though the children are in their care.
Think twice before sending your child

We went to Barnet for Easter, unfortunately my daughter lost her new crocks. I wasn't pleased with the fact that they did little to try and find them.

My 5 year old did five non-consecutive days at the Farnham camp over Easter (her first proper holiday camp) and came home happy every day. Staff seemed attentive and child-friendly, facilities were excellent and there were a good number of fun activities to keep the children entertained. We’ll book again, no doubt.

Great,inclusive and fun club for kids.
Staff went that extra mile to support my son with Additional needs and make him feel so happy at the Cambridge long road setting.
The bonus is the club is open until 5.30pm - Great for working parents 👍
