Are you ready for the summer holidays to start? Perhaps you have a family vacation or visit to loved ones abroad to look forward to. But if you can’t get away for the whole summer, which is likely for most, you may be wondering how you will be able to stop your children from getting bored during the weeks when school is closed.

Whether you need a childcare solution whilst you’re at work or are looking for something active and social to keep your child entertained during the summer, day long activity camps from Basker International Childcare offer the perfect solution.

With over a decade of experience offering holiday camps to the international community, Basker International Childcare is committed to offering memorable camps where children not only have great fun but also enjoy the opportunity to learn new skills, discover new talents and, of course, make a few new friends along the way.

Thanos Papanastasiou, who is in charge of organising camps at Basker International Childcare, elaborates: "Basker believes there are two factors that make summer camps memorable. First is the fun factor. No two days are the same and there truly is something on offer for every child.

Creative minds can give different art forms a go, adventure enthusiasts can learn about building huts or enjoy a scavenger hunt, sports fanatics can join in mini sports tournaments. The themed workshop activities are structured according to age and complemented by two excursions per week, along with (outdoor) recreational sports and games.

Second, the camps at Basker International Childcare are delivered by enthusiastic and fully-qualified childcare staff with international backgrounds who are there to make sure individual attention is given to each child to make them feel welcome, heard, safe, and part of the group from the moment they walk through our doors, ensuring they can enjoy the holiday camps to the fullest."

Don’t miss out

Registration has opened at the start of this month and, as availability is limited, timely booking is advised. You can find more information and reserve a spot for your child by completing the online registration form.

Good to know: Because Basker is a registered childcare provider, most working families can claim part of the cost back through the Dutch Childcare Allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag).
