As well as leading sessions, staff contribute to the high standard of physical, emotional, and social care offered by Ultimate Activity Camps.

  • Continuously promote the welfare of the children in your care.
  • Show high levels of energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism, acting as a suitable role model for the children.
  • Ensure all policies and procedures on camp are adhered to by yourself and the children in your care, including all health and safety, and safeguarding procedures.
