Autumn (October half-term) camp programme

More than just a camp. A place to grow.

The October half-term is a one-week window where most schools close and parents work. La Folie's autumn camp fills the gap with structured daily activities so kids stay engaged and parents stay sane. La Folie's camp is built around movement, creativity, and confidence — thoughtfully designed activities that build skills and friendships, one day at a time.
