Important Information:
Please note, due to funding, places on this year’s Summer Beach Camp are being offered to children living in Muirhouse only.
Places are free of charge but limited so advance booking is essential.
Places are booked for the whole week. Your child must be able to attend all five days.
If your child has any support needs or would usually require 1:1 support (e.g. in school or other clubs), or you have any questions, please get in touch with us for a chat before booking so we can assess whether the activity is suitable.
Children should please:
- Bring a water bottle.
- Wear lots of layers and waterproof clothing – we will be working outside.
- Don’t forget to put on sunscreen and bring a sun hat.
- Use the toilet before attending this camp every day, as facilities on the beach will be basic.
Teachers will be available at the start of every session to chat, if you have any concerns.
Do you have more than one child you would like to sign up?
Please select 1 ticket per child and complete all the details on the order form for each child. Your answers will help us to ensure your child can take part safely and comfortably.
Art Buds in Muirhouse 2024 Summer Beach Camp is run by Art Buds Collective, in partnership with North Edinburgh Arts, made possible through funding from City of Edinburgh Council Almond Ward Community Fund.
