Atlas holiday camps recruit first wellbeing coach for half-term happiness
Children in Gloucestershire will be offered yoga, meditation and mindfulness after Atlas Camps recruited its first wellbeing coach.
Atlas Camps – now in its 11th year – runs multi-activity school holiday camps across Gloucestershire during every major school break, welcoming over 750 children aged 4-14 per day at 23 venues across the county.
Dedicated to a child-centric approach, Atlas Camps specialises in multi-activity childcare, empowering children to choose how they’d best like to spend their days with a huge variety of sports, games, arts and crafts and free-play on offer at any one time, as an alternative to the usual sport-specific activity providers.
“Children’s overall wellbeing is at the forefront of our minds at all times, so we wanted to introduce a new initiative that not only helped to enrich their choice of activity with us, but actively helped to promote a happy, healthy mindset,” explained James Harber, Director and Co-Founder of Atlas Camps.
“With our wellbeing specialist – Joel Frost - now at the helm as our dedicated Wellbeing Coach ensuring that our activities aren’t only beneficial from a mindfulness perspective, but fun too, we’re so excited to see how well our little All-Stars respond.
"All ages will be encouraged to take part if they want to, from our littlest 4-year-olds right up to teens, and we’re hoping their parents may be able to see the zen difference at home, too!”
Atlas Camps’ new wellbeing coach will be delivering optional wellbeing, mindfulness and exercise sessions at different camp venues across the county starting from this week - half term – and set to continue throughout the school holidays over the course of the coming year.
Atlas Camps was co-founded by James Harber and Dan Tanner, who were old school friends from Hartpury College, in 2011. It runs holiday camps across Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.
