Kids Summer Holiday Clubs Surrey: 3 Unmissable Camps to Build Confidence, Spark Creativity, and Make New Friends

Summer holidays are bursting with potential — but for many parents, they come with a common conundrum: “How do I keep my child happy, inspired, and off their screen for more than five minutes?” If you’re looking for kids summer holiday clubs in Surrey that offer more than just childcare — something that really lights kids up inside — you’re in the right place.

At Pop Star Performers, we don’t do ordinary camps. We create full theatrical adventures where children grow in confidence, make real friendships, and shine on stage. Whether your child dreams of the spotlight or just wants to try something new, our three themed Holiday Show-in-a-Week camps offer an unforgettable experience.

🎭 Why Performing Arts Camps?

Let’s talk benefits before we get into the details of each camp. Confidence-building holiday clubs are more than just a place to drop the kids off — they’re environments where young people learn to:

  • Express themselves creatively
  • Build resilience through rehearsal and performance
  • Work as part of a team
  • Tackle new challenges in a nurturing space

And the best part? The fun, energy, and applause at the end of the week is something they’ll talk about all summer long.

Performing arts camps have also been shown to boost children’s emotional regulation and self-esteem. According to Place2Be, creative expression plays a huge role in promoting positive mental health in young people — which is more important than ever post-pandemic.

🌈 Our Top 3 Kids Summer Holiday Clubs in Surrey

This year, we’re running three incredible week-long experiences, each packed with:

  • 🎤 Singing, acting, and dancing
  • 👗 Professional costumes
  • 💡 Lighting and sound in a real theatre
  • 🎭 Scripted scenes with speaking parts for every child
  • 💫 A final performance for friends and family

1. Wicked: The Musical (Ages 6–13)

🗓️ 29 July – 2 August
📍 Esher Theatre
🎟️ Performance: Friday 2:15pm

Wicked is the ultimate confidence-booster. Based on the much-loved West End musical, this reimagined camp version introduces children to themes of friendship, courage, and discovering their inner strength. Our in-house script means every child has a speaking part, with group songs and choreography designed to make sure no one is left behind — even first-time performers.

Kids will work together all week to rehearse, learn stage skills, and build their confidence in a supportive, high-energy atmosphere. And by Friday, they’ll be standing under the spotlight, proud of everything they’ve achieved.

Did you know? Performing for an audience can increase public speaking skills and reduce anxiety long-term. Read more in The Guardian’s feature on children and drama.

2. Mufasa: Inspired by The Lion King (Ages 4–9)

🗓️ 5 – 9 August
📍 Esher Theatre
🎟️ Performance: Friday 2:15pm

If your child loves adventure and animals, our Mufasa show-in-a-week is a roaring good time. Think: big emotions, bold characters, and a wild mix of jungle rhythms and heartfelt moments.

Based on the themes of belonging, bravery, and stepping into your power, this camp includes:

  • Group drumming warm-ups
  • Character-building exercises
  • Original scenes and musical mashups inspired by The Lion King

Costumes, face paint, and safari-style fun bring the savannah to life — and the final show will leave families beaming with pride. Even shy kids come out of their shells with this one.

3. LAMDA Musical Theatre Intensive (Ages 11–16)

🗓️ 12 – 16 August
📍 Esher Theatre
🎓 Optional LAMDA Performance Exam in September

This camp is perfect for older kids and teens who are ready to hone their skills and earn a formal performance qualification.

Each participant chooses a solo or duo piece from a musical, then works with our team to:

  • Perfect their characterisation, vocal technique, and staging
  • Understand the context and meaning behind their song
  • Get feedback and coaching in small-group settings

At the end of the week, students can opt to take a LAMDA exam, earning a recognised qualification in performance. Whether they want to pursue a drama GCSE later or just enjoy performing, this week gives them a huge sense of achievement — and a great confidence boost.
