Fully registered with OFSTED, we provide a well balanced and stimulating activity programme for children of all abilities offering multi-activity days through the mini and maxi and intensive weekly courses ranging from drama to climbing. This year we offered Street Dancing, Drama, Tennis, Pre-season FA Football, Swimming, Climbing, Fencing and Trampolining. All our staff are CRB checked, First Aid Trained and experienced at working with children of all ages. Mini Club is for children aged 4 and 5. Maxi Club is for children aged 6 to 11. Charterhouse Club Members are entitled to a 5% discount.
Climbing Courses
Ever fancied climbing but didn’t know where to start. If your children are aged 5 or over then they can come along to one of our Summer Club Climbing Courses and learn how to do it. Children are taught how to put on the equipment (all of which is provided as part of the course), how to use the equipment, how to work as a pair, belaying and climbing together.
Climbing takes skill and trust and when this is combined with a fantastic climbing wall and great instructors (who operate under very strict ratio’s to ensure safety at all times), kids are able to develop new skills, make new friends and enjoy a sport with a difference.
If you would like to know more about Climbing at Charterhouse for both adults and children, go to our climbing page or call us on 01483 239600.
Parents accompanying their children are able to relax in the café which is open all day during the holidays.

Swimming Courses
Since our excellent 25m pool, swimming courses are always in high demand, we are laying on more courses than ever during the holidays to meet demands.
They cater for children of all levels who are aged 5 or over.
The classes are split into 4 abilities:
Tadpoles is for those who cannot swim unaided for 5m or less.
Minnows is for those who can swim 10 meters unaided on their front or back.
Goldfish is for those who are able to swim 25 meters and can use recognisable strokes (Freestyle, Back Stroke or Breast Stroke).
Dolphins is for those children who can swim at least 100 meters and are able to swim the above mentioned strokes – and is aimed at those who are working towards joining a swimming club or competing.
Here at Charterhouse Club we do not use arm bands to aid swimmers. This means that in the groups of Non Swimmers there is a higher child to teacher ratio, the teachers go into the water with the pupils and manually assist the children where necessary.

Fencing Courses
Fencing is another extremely popular course run here as part of our Summer Club and offers the older children the opportunity to try something very new.
Aimed at those aged 10 to 16 years, this is an excellent way to build up fitness, stamina and agility.
Street Dancing
Incredibly popular with the children, run over a week, the children get the chance to learn all the hottest dance moves to their favourite pop songs.
As the week progresses, they get the chance to perform complete routines.
This course is great fun and a good way to get kids who are reluctant to take part in competitive sports, to exercise.
Trampolining
Great fun and something different. Located in our Sports Hall and led by an experience instructor, the classes run for 45 minutes over the course of a week. Children take turns up on the trampolines and get the chance to chat to their friends whilst waiting their turn.
Extremely popular
Pre-Season Football Coaching Course
As so many young children enjoy football these days, here is a chance for them to really focus on their skills. Morning courses are run for the 6 to 10 year olds whilst the afternoon is given over to the 11 to 14 year olds.
This is where Charterhouse’s superb facilities come into their own. When the weather is good, coaching takes place on the School’s fields. If the weather is poor, then we always have the backup of the Sports Hall so that the lessons never stop.
Drama Workshops
Charterhouse Summer Club also has the privilege of access to the School’s very own theatre, the Ben Travers Theatre. Running daily from 10.00am to 4.00pm, children attending these courses get a rare opportunity to spend a week in a real theatre and experience the whole theatrical journey from audition to performance, all under the guidance of professionals.
See how it all works, lighting, sound, props, costumes, stage make-up, scenery and front of house.
The final day includes a performance in front of an invited audience. An ideal chance for budding thespians to find out what it’s really like.
This course is aimed at 10 to 16 year olds, however it is possible that slightly younger children (minimum 8 years) who have theatrical experience/are very keen, may benefit. Please ask at reception if you child falls into this category.
Saturday Morning Kid’s Club
This activity runs from 9.00am – 10.00am and 10.00am – 11.00am every Saturday morning for children aged 5 to 12 years. Activities take place in the Sports Hall and include such games as Unihock, Dodgeball and Football. Free for all Junior Members, there is a small fee for children of Members + Guests.
