Price Increase for 2025
Having kept our prices the same for more than 20 years, we have reluctantly decided to make a small increase for summer 2025. This is in light of the ever-increasing costs of food, transport and other amenities, and following parental feedback in 2024 that suggested a price increase would be accepted and understood by our families.
The aim of our charity is to provide unforgettable holidays at a price that is accessible to all families, and all our places are subsidised by our fundraising throughout the year; even with an increase this will continue to be true.
As an organisation, the true cost of a child’s place is £113. Our standard places will now cost £65 + a £1 booking fee, an increase of £5.
Thanks to support from Kirklees local authority’s HAF scheme, we are able to continue to offer assisted places to those who are eligible for just £10, although you will now only be able to book one assisted place per child each summer. For more information about the HAF scheme please follow this link: Home | Kirklees Schools Out.
We thank you in advance for your support and understanding.

Things You Need To Know
Facilities - We camp in a scout camp near Woolley Edge and we have running water, flushing toilets and shower facilities as well as a well-equipped kitchen.
Transport - We collect and return the children by bus and the pick up points are Huddersfield and Dewsbury Bus stations and Woolley Edge Services.
Security – There are always volunteer staff on site. When the children go to bed, and are settled, the volunteers also go to bed so the site is usually quiet by around midnight. During the night a security guard secures the site to keep the site safe. They will wake up volunteer staff if the children need any help in the night.
Policies and Procedures – We have a number of policies and procedures which govern our work. The key ones are set below along with our parent’s leaflet and advice on how we handle sickness and transport. Our policies are updated every year.
A place on camp will cost £66.00 per child and £10.00 for children eligible for an assisted place. Bookings open late March . If you need any more information before then please email us at camp@kirkleessummerplaycamp.com
