Graham James PRIMARY
AFTERSCHOOL CLUBS & WRAPAROUND CARE
At Graham James Primary School, Camp Epic provide Lunchtime Sports & Afterschool clubs that run until 6pm 5 days a week. So for working parents, this is a great childcare option as the children are in a familiar, safe setting, along with their friends & ready to be picked-up when you finish work!
Having said that, we have designed Camp Epic to be more that just ‘another childcare option’. We want children to WANT to come to Camp Epic; whether that be to learn a new sport or hobby, practise & perfect their existing skills, or even just to have some fun & let off some steam with friends after school!
The kids can choose between 3 activity options each session. These include a Sport / Game, a ‘Creative’ activity such as Arts & Crafts, Cookery Classes or Mad Science & there’s also always a Free-play’ option, which gives kids the opportunity to take some time-out & chill by themselves playing with Lego, colouring-in, reading, doing puzzles etc…
THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT CAMP EPIC!

MEET YOUR TEAM
THIS IS Sam.
Sam is one of our newest Site Leads, but has working here with us as an Activity Assistant at Camp Epic After-School club & our Holiday Camps for the past year & also works at Graham James in the Kitchen. She’s been at Graham James for years & is a firm ‘favourite’ with the kids, so you may recognise her from the school already!
She loves to cook, makes a blinding cuppa, is fully qualified in food safety & hygiene as well as child safeguarding & even scored a 5 star Hygiene rating for Camp Epic when the H&S inspectors turned up for a ‘routine’ surprise visit at one of our Holiday Camps, when she was running the kitchen.
In her spare time Sam loves to travel & has even recently purchased a Holiday home in Spain (so she’s always annoyingly tanned!).
She will be responsible for the smooth running of Camp at Graham James, ensuring the kids have everything they need to have a good time in a safe environment. This includes making sure the weekly schedules are planned & sent out to all you parents, helping you with any questions or queries you might have, running the daily ‘Epic’ Activity sessions with the kiddos & of course, helping prepare all the food!
SITe lead
THIS IS Jake.
Jake will be the Full-Time Sports Coach at Graham James & will be assisting Sam in her role as Site Lead. He is one of our Newer squad members & is one of our ProSports Apprentice Coaches, but he absolutely SMASHED Summer Camp this year & the kids loved him!
He loves coaching the kids & he is always up for joining in a game (even if he usually ends up being the target… he learned this the hard way after a Nerf War at Canvey Summer Camp saw Jake being targeted by 20+ kids with Nerf guns!).
Jakes loves all sports but Football is by far his favourite & he plays for Southend Manor FC; he also enjoys going to the gym & is a dab-hand in the kitchen too, so he’s always happy to help with food prep at Camp :)
SPORTS COACH & Site Lead 2
THIS IS Sarah.
Sarah has been working for Camp Epic for sometime now, but also works at Reception at the school, so is likely to be a familiar face to most of you already!
Sarah works Part-time at our After-School club here, as well as helping out during our Holiday Camps too, so she is now officially a ‘Crafty Queen’ having had plenty of experience in the role!
She will be assisting the Site Lead at Orsett with things such as activity planning, food prep & tidying up, as well as helping with the ‘Creative’ activity sessions & keeping an eye on the kiddies enjoying some ‘Free Play’ time indoors.

THIS IS ABI.
Abi joined the Camp Epic Squad during the Summer & will also be assisting the Site Lead at Orsett with things such as activity planning, food prep & tidying up, as well as helping with the ‘Creative’ activity sessions & keeping an eye on the kiddies enjoying some ‘Free Play’ time indoors.
In her free time, Abi enjoys reading, hanging out with friends & doing Uni work as she is currently studying Psychology & Counselling.
Abi did a fantastic job during the Holidays at Summer Camp; she is very creative & loves playing games with the kids & getting stuck in, so we’re confident the kids at Graham James will love her as much as the Summer Camp kiddos did!
Activity Assistant
THIS IS EMMA.
Emma is living her best life at Camp Epic. She is crafty & artsy with a dash of OCD, a splash of silly & a BIG dollop of EPIC (but don’t ask her to do sports… she will most likely injure herself).
As a mum herself, she loves working with kids & coming up with new ideas to make our Camps the best they can be; from overseeing / auditing all of our Camp Epic sites to ensure quality & consistency across the brand & assisting with staff training at site level, to managing our socials & planning holiday camps.
She spins many plates here at Camp Epic & ultimately wants only the best for the kids & parents that book with us, so she works with the schools to build great working relationships & supports the teams in any way she can to ensure they can all deliver an EPIC experience for every child.

EPIC PLAYING CARDS GAME
Does your child love collecting things? Are they a fan of Pokemon cards?… Well if so, they will LOVE our NEW ‘EPIC PLAYING CARDS’!
These cards range from ‘Common’ to ‘Mythical’ depending on the likelihood that they will get their hands on one.
Each of our Coaches, Team Members & Sites have their own card, as well as specific games / sports / activities etc… & there’s even cards for things like hitting Camp attendance Milestones & referring friends too!
Kids collect the cards by simply Meeting the Team members on the cards, attending the sites (for breakfast club, afterschool club or Holiday Camps), taking part in specific challenges / activities, winning challenges & so on!
So the more they come to Camp Epic, the more opportunity to collect cards to add to their collections!
Kids can start collecting from their first session- just ask your Site Lead for their GRAHAM JAMES School Card to get started & join in the game!
SO MANY CARDS TO COLLECT!
