Read on to discover why NLC was created and how we're working to eradicate the holiday-slide.
why we exist
Next Level Camps began with a simple but powerful question: Why can't holiday camps be more than just childcare and actively support child development whilst providing real value to parents?
In 2023, Next Level Camps was founded to answer that question. As a passionate educator with years of experience teaching Geography and Science, our Founder had also spent many summers working in holiday camps. Over time, they noticed a disconnect. Whilst schools focused on development and growth, many camps offered little more than repetitive sports schedules and so they saw an opportunity to do things differently.
Our Founder envisioned a camp experience that didn't just fill time but elevated it. A space where learning didn't pause for the holidays but evolved into something dynamic, joyful and deeply enriching.
That vision became Next Level Camps.
At Next Level Camps, we're on a mission to eliminate the 'holiday-slide' and unlock the potential of every child. Our progressive multi-activity curriculum ensures no two days are the same, replacing monotony with excitement and discovery. Every activity is designed to develop the whole child, through fun with purpose. We blend education, adventure and play to boost confidence, curiosity and community. And in doing so, we offer true value to children, parents and schools alike.
We're not just filling a gap in the calendar, we're building a bridge between home and school, learning and play, children and their potential.
Adventures that Inspire - that's the Next Level promise.
what is the holiday-slide?
The holiday slide refers to the loss of learning, confidence and routine that can occur during school holidays. Research shows that these setbacks can accumulate over time, impacting children's academic, social and physical development.
Studies have found that the effects are particularly significant during Key Stages 2 and 3, with factors such as increased screen time, reduced outdoor play and the lasting impact of COVID-19 contributing to the challenge.
At Next Level Camps, we're passionate about keeping children active, engaged, learning and growing throughout the school holidays.
so, how are we combatting the holiday-slide?
At Next Level Camps, every day is designed to keep children active, engaged and growing throughout the school holidays.
Using our Eudager™ Method, we create experiences that develop the whole child through physical activity, creativity, problem-solving, social interaction and outdoor adventure. Whether children are building confidence through team challenges, exploring STEM activities, developing resilience through new experiences or staying active through sport and play, every activity has a purpose.
The result? Children return to school with stronger friendships, greater confidence, new skills and a summer full of positive memories.
Eudager™ combines Eudaimonia (human flourishing) with Integer (wholeness), reflecting our belief that every child should have the opportunity to grow into the best version of themselves.
At Next Level Camps, we take a holistic approach to planning each day, and our Eudager™️ Method ensures a balance of high-energy fun, creative exploration, personal growth and time to recharge.
Our timetable is thoughtfully designed to support all areas of child development through a diverse mix of activities: from sports and challenges in Active Allstars and Camp Quest, cognitive games and STEAM challenges in Brain Boost, valuable life skills in Healthy Heroes and Life Lab, creative expression in Create & Make, and eco-awareness in Green Team.
Campers also enjoy unstructured play during Free Flow and downtime in Chill or Move. With no repeated activities within the same year, every day is fresh, exciting and tailored to inspire.
