Holiday Camps at Hertford Prep

Outdoor adventures and creative fun for Ages 4–12. The ultimate countryside holiday camp in Hertingfordbury

Join us at Hertfordshire's Hidden Gem

Nestled in the heart of Hertingfordbury, our camp at St Joseph’s In The Park is the perfect escape for active children. We are the top choice for families in Hertford, Ware, and Hatfield who want their children to enjoy extensive open space rather than being cooped up indoors.

This venue offers a true “adventure camp” experience. With acres of private parkland and woodland to explore, we combine our classic sports coaching with nature-based activities, ensuring every child returns home muddy, tired, and full of stories.

During the week, children will also take part in fun 6 and 7 themed challenges, testing their teamwork and problem-solving skills through a variety of exciting games. In addition, campers will enjoy creative Minecraft-inspired challenges, where they can build, design and complete missions inspired by the popular game. To finish the celebrations, children will also take part in a traditional Easter egg hunt, making it a memorable and action-packed experience for everyone.

What makes Hertford Prep a great venue?

The setting here is unrivalled. We have exclusive access to the school’s extensive playing fields, which are perfect for expansive team games, football tournaments, and athletics.

Beyond the sports fields, the woodland areas allow us to run unique activities but we aren’t reliant on the weather, we also utilize the large school hall for dodgeball and indoor games, plus classrooms for our creative arts sessions.

Logistically, the venue offers a private car park just off St Mary’s Lane, making drop-offs safe and simple away from busy main roads.

Why book your child on a Rising Stars Camp?

We provide a solution for parents searching for kids holiday camps that offer more than just a screen-sitting service. We offer a structured day where children build confidence and social skills.

Our Ofsted-registered provision is flexible, with extended hours to suit working schedules. We group children by age, meaning our younger groups get the nurturing support they need, while our older groups enjoy more competitive sports and complex challenges.

Activities at Hertford Prep

St Joseph’s In The Park is our most nature-focused location. It is the ideal spot for summer holiday camps where children can make the most of the sunshine in a secure, private environment.

While we still run our popular kids football and multi-sport sessions, the environment allows us to be more adventurous. A typical day might involve a morning football tournament on the grass followed by an afternoon “treasure hunt” through the school grounds. If you are looking for holiday clubs near me that feel like a proper retreat from the city, this is the one.
