A children's camp for a batch: offers from organisers
Choose the camp for the child, not for the price
One child needs friends and plenty of activities, another wants a calm language programme or sport with a coach. So before you compare prices, decide on your child's age, interests and whether they have already stayed at a camp without parents. For a first time, a shorter batch or a day camp in your own city often works well.
The types differ too: residential or day, themed (language, coding, sports, creative) or general development. The daily programme and the price depend on this.
How to get offers on BlaBlaPrice
Instead of comparing dozens of websites, you write one request: age, dates, region, wishes. You can add one photo, for example of a programme you liked. The request is checked, and you are prompted about details the organisers are missing.
Camps and agencies reply in the chat: the programme, the price of the batch or what it depends on, what is included, the dates. Each one sees where its offer ranks and can improve the terms. The best-value offer is shown first, with reviews alongside. Only the organiser you choose sees your phone number. The principles are on the “How it works” page.
What to put in your request
- Type of camp — residential or day; language, coding, sports, creative.
- Child's age — for example, 10 years.
- Dates or batch — the month and length, for example 2 weeks in June.
- Region — the hills, the coast, the outskirts of your city, or the whole country.
- Number of children — if a brother or sister or friends are going too.
- Conditions — accommodation, meals, transfer, a medical staff member on site.
- Your child's needs — allergies, diet, health.
- Budget, for example up to $460 per batch.
Example: “We are looking for a residential language camp for a 10-year-old, 2 weeks in June, in the mountains. We need a transfer from Singapore, a nurse on site and meals 5 times a day. Nut allergy. Budget up to $460 per batch.”
What to look at when comparing camps
Ask what is included in the price: accommodation, meals, excursions, insurance, transfer. Ask about the counsellors: their qualifications, how many children there are per adult, and whether there is a medical staff member on site. Find out how the organiser keeps in touch with parents. For a residential camp, check the age groups and how rooms are allotted.
Ask for the daily schedule and details of the meals: whether allergies and diets are taken into account. Find out whether you can phone your child. It is a good sign when the organiser answers such questions openly and in writing.
Common mistakes
Choosing by a pretty picture without asking about safety. Not telling the camp about an allergy or a health condition. Booking without a contract and a clear refund policy. Sending a child off without discussing with them where they are going.
If you are planning a trip for the whole family, look at tours and excursions, and for travel abroad at visa assistance. All the options are in the “Travel & immigration” section.
