School holiday camps for ages 5–12
At JC Academy, children help shape their day. Each day has multiple sessions where children choose what they do: football, painting, LEGO building, science experiments or dancing. We believe the best days are built with the children, not just for them.
Next camp: October half term camp
Camp Coppice: this October it runs at Whitehouse Common Primary School, Cottesmore Road, Sutton Coldfield B75 6BL (map), back at Coppice for Christmas.
Camps begin w/c Monday 26 October 2026. Reserve your places online, and don’t forget you can book now, pay later. Places are capped for maximum enjoyment, so don’t miss out! Short on time? Email admin@jcacademy.co.uk with your dates and we’ll add them to your account.
