Structure Creates Freedom #

At Adventure Camps, we believe children thrive when the day feels clear, fun, and well-paced. As staff, you don’t have to “wing it” — every day follows a simple routine that helps everyone know where they should be and when. Within that structure, you’ll bring the creativity, energy, and fun.

Weekly Flow #

While each day follows the same structure, the weekly rhythm builds momentum:

• Monday → Settling in, big welcome games.
• Midweek → Deeper skill-building and team bonding.
• Friday → Showcases, tournaments, celebrations.

Staff Responsibilities #

• Be early, be ready — children sense your energy.
• Stick to timings — smooth transitions keep the day moving.
• Check your zone — kit, safety, and risks reviewed before each block.
• Communicate — radios/WhatsApp for updates and problem-solving.

Quick Tip 💡 #

If you’re ever unsure where you should be, check the master timetable board at your site base. Site Managers will also update you at each briefing.
