Beyond the Bouncing Castle
A real camp adventure, scaled for small humans.
Most kids’ Children’s Day events end with face paint and a balloon. Base Camp Kids is built like a scaled-down version of our multi-day school camps — actual tents, actual house teams, real craft stations, real outdoor games. Kids leave with a T-shirt they made, a certificate, and the feeling of having done something. Parents leave knowing exactly who is watching their child and how.
Every child takes home
Souvenirs they’ll remember
The hero items below — plus a few surprises we save for the day.
Camp Certificates
Printed Junior Camper certificates on branded paper, signed by the Program Director, personalised with each child’s first name and house.
Branded Water Bottles
Reusable Camping Nigeria water bottles in the goodie bag, with a name sticker for each child so nothing gets mixed up on the day.
Branded Goodie Bags
Each child leaves with a Camping Nigeria goodie bag carrying their decorated T-shirt, certificate, mini journal, and house pin.
Illustrative imagery. Photography from the day is being added.
