Camp Teepee
Adventure and learning in the great outdoors.
Open to children from all schools from 6-11 years of age.
Eight acres of stunning woodland and grounds are the setting for Camp Teepee – think Swallows and Amazons-style adventures, where children aged 6-11 can explore, make dens, learn to light fires safely and cook delicious concoctions or brew a hot chocolate to enjoy in the dappled shade. Amble through a stream and make rafts for a Jelly Baby crew, play team games with newly found friends, or make maps to lead your chums to buried treasure.
Summer 2023: 11-12 and 17-19 July, 21-24 August. £40 per day. 9.30am – 4pm.

Cookery Club summer 2023
Get creative in the kitchen.
Open to children from all schools in Years 1-6.
The Paragon’s Head of Computing is a whizz in the kitchen and can whip up new and delightful experiences for children during the holidays. Choose from three delicious days this summer: Foods from Around the World; A Baking Day; and Unicorn Foodie Experience.
Veggie sushi, Moroccan couscous and American chocolate chip cookies will be created on the trip around the globe, and croissants and lemon drizzle cake on Baking Day. Budding chefs get to unleash their inner sparkle on Unicorn Foodie Experience Day, when they will bake unicorn-themed cake pops, whizz up a magical strawberry milkshake and craft savoury magical wands.
Bring your own aprons and Tupperware to take goodies home – the rest is provided in the cost of the day.
10th July: Foods from Around the World; 18th July: A Baking Day; 24th July: Unicorn Foodie Experience. £50 per day. 9.30am – 3.00pm.
Deep into the Woods
Art workshop inspired by nature.
Open to children from all schools aged 7-15 years.
This July, The Paragon’s Head of Art will be running a two-day ‘Deep into the Woods’ art workshop. Participants will explore drypoint etching, printing and drawing techniques, inspired by the compositions of artists Samuel Palmer and Flora McLachlan. Not restricted to the indoors, the group will spend time observing the natural woodland surrounding the school.
24th-25th July. £100 for two days. 9.30am – 3.30pm.
Dance Workshops
Join us for a Strictly Come Dancing day, A Musicals workshop or a two-day ‘Dance through the Decades’ themed class this summer.
Girls and boys in Years 3-6 are all welcome to attend Amelia Hart’s energetic one-day classes, which will have Strictly and Musical themes this summer, plus a two-day workshop titled ‘Dance through the Decades’, which will explore dance styles ranging from Charleston to rock ‘n’ roll to Flashdance and hip-hop. Routines will incorporate some of the children’s own choreography and ideas with a show at the end. No experience is necessary, just an open mind and plenty of get-up-and-go. Parents are invited to a performance at the end of the day.
11th July: Dance Workshop with Musicals theme; 12th July: Strictly themed Dance Workshop; 17-18th July: ‘Dance through the Decades’ Workshop. All days £50. 9.00am – 3.00pm with half an hour for a show to parents (to finish at 3.30pm).
