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.

Cookery Club summer 2023

Cookery Club

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.
