Going away to Holiday Camps can be exciting, but for some kids, it can also feel like a pretty big step.
A new place, new people and a few nights away from home can bring a few nerves, especially if it is their first time.
That is why bringing a friend can make such a difference.
And right now, there is an even better reason to bring someone along. When your child brings a friend to CYC Summer Holiday Camps and they both sign up, they both go for half price.
This half-price offer is available for our upcoming Summer Holiday Camps, with the deal ending on 1 November 2026. Terms and conditions apply.
It is a great opportunity for kids to experience Holiday Camps together, while having someone familiar beside them from the very beginning.
Taking the First Step Together
Sometimes the hardest part is simply saying yes and giving it a go.
A child might love the idea of Holiday Camps but feel unsure about going somewhere new without knowing anyone. Bringing a friend can take away some of those initial nerves and make the whole experience feel much more comfortable.
They have someone to arrive with, sit with at that first meal and join in with as everything gets underway.
Often, that little bit of extra confidence is all they need to get involved and make the most of everything Holiday Camps have to offer.
Friends Encourage Each Other
One of the great things about Holiday Camps is the opportunity to try new things.
There might be an activity a child has never tried before, a challenge that pushes them outside their comfort zone or simply an opportunity to meet someone new.
Having a friend beside them can give them that extra encouragement to have a go.
“Come on, let’s do it!”
Sometimes, that is all it takes for something that seemed a little scary to become an experience they are excited to take on together.
Making Memories Together
Holiday Camps are full of experiences that are very different from a normal week at home or school.
There are activities, games, challenges, meals together and plenty of opportunities to simply have fun with other kids.
Bringing a friend means they get to experience all of that together.
They might come home talking about the activity they conquered, something hilarious that happened during a game or the new friends they both made.
These shared experiences can strengthen friendships and give kids stories they will be talking about long after Holiday Camps are over.
Arrive With One Friend, Leave With Plenty More
Having someone familiar by your side can make meeting new people a whole lot easier.
Bringing a friend does not mean they have to stick together the entire time. In fact, having someone familiar there can give kids the confidence to branch out.
Holiday Camps bring kids together through activities, games and shared experiences, creating plenty of natural opportunities to meet new people.
Having a friend there can make those first introductions easier and help kids feel comfortable getting involved.
They can arrive knowing one person and head home having made a whole group of new friends.
More Than Just a Fun Few Days
Of course, Holiday Camps are about having a great time, but there is also so much that kids can gain from the experience.
It is a chance to spend some time away from screens and normal routines, build independence, grow in confidence and try things they may not normally get the opportunity to do.
For some kids, simply spending a few nights away from home is a big achievement.
For others, it might be trying an activity they were nervous about, making a new friend or discovering that they are capable of more than they thought.
And having a friend there can make taking those steps a whole lot easier.
So, Who Would Your Child Bring?
With both kids going for half price when they sign up together for Summer Holiday Camps, now is a great time to ask your child who they would love to experience CYC Holiday Camps with.
It might be their best friend from school, someone from church, a teammate or another friend who has never experienced Holiday Camps before.
Together, they can take on new experiences, encourage each other, make new friends and come home with plenty of stories to share.
Bring a friend. Make some memories. Both go half price.
