Dominic Inyang-Gray, head of active holidays at ActiveMe 360, said: "Our Christmas camps are designed to bring energy and joy to what can be a busy time of year.
"We want to give children a space to play, grow and feel proud, while giving parents the reassurance that their child is safe, supported and having a brilliant day."
All venues are staffed by DBS-checked practitioners trained in safeguarding and paediatric emergency first aid.
Sessions are available to both paying families and those eligible for fully funded places through the Department for Education’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.
HAF participants will receive a nutritious meal along with active play and structured support throughout the day.
Jason Davis, general manager of The Grange Community and Bourne Leisure Centre, said: "We’re really pleased to host ActiveMe 360’s Christmas camps again, these camps have become a real asset to our community.
"They bring such a positive atmosphere to the centre and families know their children are well looked after.
"The ActiveMe 360 teams run high-quality, well-organised sessions that our community values and they are a great way for local parents to access reliable childcare at a busy time of year.
"The children always leave buzzing from the activities too."
The camps aim to give parents a "couple of easy, calm days" to catch up on work or enjoy time at home, while knowing their children are "happy, active and well looked after."
Early booking discounts are available until Sunday, November 30.
A full list of venues and booking information is available on the ActiveMe 360 website.
The camps follow strict safety standards and are aligned with ActiveMe 360’s broader work in schools and community settings.
