The Hive is quite frankly the best camp available. My daughter loves going, begs to go for the entire week at a time rather than just the occasional day and is then very disappointed when the week ends. I love the fact that the activities are structured, educational (without the children suspecting this to be the case) and the staff are fantastic. Highly recommend!

The most brilliant kids camp I have come across by a very long way. The concept is ingenious and the execution flawless. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Alisa Miller

Your team are superb, especially with children who need a bit of extra coaching and coaxing. The kids get to do such varied and interesting things and my son looks forward to his next Hive adventure in a way he has never looked forward to other clubs

I can't recommend the Hive enough.
The programmes are so well thought out and imaginative. I have yet to find another holiday 'club' that incorporates such a wide range of activities. 

Hilary Morton

My son really enjoys The Hive. I think the structure works really well - the children are organised into small groups, in similar ages, to work together on a particular project for a few days under strong supervision and direction. it is fun and teaches some interesting skills and teamwork.

The Hive's missions completely inspire my child to be outdoors. The facilitators really know their stuff and engage with the children 100%, treating them as individuals. The content of the missions is fantastic. Thank you so much.
