Burntwood School’s top facilities include expansive fields, a large sports hall, a swimming pool, several gyms and a dance studio.
This camp is perfect for families in and around Wandsworth and Tooting. It is also just down the road from another one of our camps, Emanuel School. This is perfect as Burntwood School runs later into the summer!
We will also be providing an After Camp Swim Club at this venue! This runs after the normal day from 16:30 – 17:30 and you can pick up your child from 17:40 – 18:00. Scroll down for more information.

Allergens on camp – Activ Camps is, unfortunately, unable to completely control the presence of allergens on camp. Of course, we have members of our team trained to respond to allergic reactions, including the administering of auto-adrenaline injectors, and have a robust medication policy in place. Our staff are also instructed to regularly remind children not to share food. Parents and carers are encouraged, for the safety of all children on site, to avoid sending their children to camp with foods that include prevalent food allergens. These include nuts, eggs, shellfish and chickpeas. Please click here to learn more about food allergens.
Swimming Kit – Make sure that your little one has their funkiest swimming gear, a towel and perhaps some goggles! There will be sessions every day, however, not everyone will swim each day due to our safety precautions and time in the pool.

The number to call can be found under ‘Camp Contact Details’.
Activ Camps will not be able to accommodate any collections between 1550 – 1630.
If you are running late please call the site team on the site number displayed under ‘Camp Contact Details’.
Facilities & Swimming
Swimming:
This activity is available subject to the availability of the swimming pool on site.
Whilst we aim to run sessions daily, due to our safety policies, not every group on camps swims each day. To guarantee swimming during the regular day, we recommend you book at least three consecutive days on camp.
If swimming is unavailable we will always continue to provide a wonderfully wide range of activities.
Facility Updates:
We will add any updates to the availability of facilities here.
Groupings
If you would like your child to be with a friend, please be aware that grouping requests must be made at sign in.
Since groups are created daily, please ensure to repeat your request each morning to the staff on site. Please note that due to the complex nature of groupings we cannot always accommodate every grouping request.
If you are arriving later than 09:15am it will be very unlikely that we can accommodate your grouping request as groups may already be full.
Lost Property
Please ensure you check that your child has all of their belongings before leaving the premises.
Lost property is collected and placed on a table next to the sign-out desk every day. If you have lost an item, please ask a member of staff on camp to view our lost property.
If you are not returning to the site again, please call the site phone number found under ‘Camp Contact Details’ to check if your item has been found.
We ask that all lost property be collected from the site before the final Friday of the camp season.
Medication form: Your child(ren) will not be able to join if we do not have the correct, and in-date, medication for them.

They will be offered the opportunity to hand in their phones to the site office. Activ Camps staff reserve the right to, and will, confiscate mobile phones if a child is seen using one. The same can be applied to devices such as smartwatches with camera and messaging capabilities. Unless absolutely necessary, please leave these items at home.
