Supporting Children’s Mental Wellbeing On Camp and Beyond
At Ultimate Activity Camps, children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. When we asked our families what mattered most to them, 45% told us their biggest concern was their child’s mental health. That insight led us to take action and we’re proud to partner with YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health.
Why this partnership matters
Growing up today comes with big emotions, pressures and challenges, even for younger children. YoungMinds exists to ensure that no child or young person feels alone with their mental health, offering trusted advice, resources and support for families and professionals alike. By working with YoungMinds, we’re helping parents feel more informed and confident while reinforcing the importance of early, positive mental health support.
Wellbeing through experience, not just conversation
At Ultimate Activity Camps, we believe mental wellbeing is built through experience, connection and confidence. Our camps provide children aged 4–14 with enriching, active experiences that support both physical and emotional wellbeing. From trying new activities to working as part of a team, children are encouraged to challenge themselves, build resilience and celebrate their achievements.
Inspiring role models and a safe environment
Our carefully selected and trained staff act as positive role models, creating an environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to be themselves. Camps are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, giving children opportunities to form friendships, develop social skills and feel a sense of belonging… all essential foundations for good mental health.
Creating space for confidence and connection
Through structured activities, shared experiences and supportive supervision, Ultimate Activity Camps offer children a safe and sociable space to grow. Whether it’s learning a new skill, gaining independence, or simply having fun with peers, these moments play a vital role in helping children feel confident, capable and connected.
Working together for brighter futures
Our partnership with YoungMinds strengthens our commitment to supporting children’s wellbeing both on camp and at home. By combining expert guidance from YoungMinds with the positive, active environments we create at camp, we’re helping families support children’s mental health in meaningful, practical ways.
Together, we’re working towards a future where every child feels supported, understood and able to thrive, both in camp, at home and beyond.
