Forbesy Camps in Dunmow is running a holiday camp to get children outdoors and offline this summer.
The camps run out of Great Dunmow Primary School, and aim to improve physical and mental health - giving children the chance to exercise outdoors and socialise with others.
Children under eight can take part in the 'Cubs' camp, while over-eights can take part in 'Foxes'.
Each day of the camp has a different theme, and new children will receive special stickers and kindness awards to help them feel secure and make friends.
There are also two leadership courses available - a Fox Leader course for ages 13 to 15, and Fox Tail Campers for children aged nine to 12.
On the five-day course, Fox Leaders will learn about safeguarding, health and safety, fire safety, mini first aid and camp operations.
At the end of the course, each participant will receive a certificate of youth leadership skills.
The Fox Tail Campers will get to learn skills through responsible leadership roles - including helping younger children with activities and running a tuck shop at lunchtime.
