Formulating and Altering Bookings at our Holiday Camps in Leeds

What should I do if my child is sick or unable to attend Art Camp?
If your child is too unwell to attend our holiday camp, you can call our Manager on 07944558232 or email us on jon@artcampuk.com who will be able to notify the site manager. They will also be able to guide you on the best time for your child to return to Art Camp to prevent other children becoming sick.

Can I book individual days or short weeks?
Yes. Many Camps have been only allowing block bookings which we believe isn’t very helpful to parents who only require certain days of care. Art Camp is a service and we are pleased to offer this service to you when you need it.

Can I make changes to my booking?
Yes, you can change your booking online if we have the space available on the alternative dates that you require.
Note: In the event that your camp is cancelled due to COVID-19, you are entitled to a 100% refund, or we can hold your booking as credit for future camps.

FAQs on COVID-19

What happens if a child is showing symptoms of Covid-19 whilst attending the holiday camp?
All parents are asked to declare that their household is showing no signs of Covid-19 symptoms prior to attendance. We also ask you to phone us up and have a chat if you have any concerns or any questions. Our staff are trained on the signs of Covid-19, we have an isolation room where will accompany your child and call the parents for collection. We are proud to inform you that during 2020 we ran our camps under strict Covid guidelines and successfully ran our camps without one Covid case. I’d like to thank our fabulous parents who have shown due diligence and huge responsibility in keeping everyone safe.

What transpires if my holiday camp can’t go ahead due to Covid-19?
If we have to annul the camp this summer, you will be entitled to a full refund. We will email you observing the cancellation and include details of how to claim your refund.

Should I wait until nearer the time to see if Art Camp definitely goes ahead before booking camp?
No, we have been incredibly busy and we tend to offer the early booking options to our loyal Art Campers and our mailing list before going public. I would advise registering with our mailing list so you can be notified when we open our bookings for camp. If we have to cancel camp, you’ll be eligible to a full reimbursement via the method you paid.

We’ve decided not to send our kids to this holiday camp due to the pandemic, can we get our money back?
When our Art Camps are still going ahead, our cancellation policy applies. Details can be found at the bottom of the page. Click the link for Policies.

I have payments outstanding to be withdrawn I don’t know if Art Camp is still going ahead, what should I do?
If you haven’t received an email cancellation of camp, presume camp is going ahead and payments will be taken as planned. If Art Camp has to cancel camp, you’ll be eligible to a full refund via the same method you paid.

Are you offering any camps to support Key Workers this summer?
