We create safe, enjoyable
and active camps

Hello – I’m Sam. Along with Tom (who you’ll meet in an upcoming post) I manage several of the Pied Piper Camps and am often the person behind the emails.

My main focus is making sure the children at Pied Piper have the best time possible! Whether that be through evolving our staff training, working closely with our sites or communicating with parents/carers, their enjoyment at any camp is my top priority.

During the Easter and summer weeks, I can often be found on site playing capture the flag or den building in the woods – or I’m in the sports hall for some ‘Ball of the Dodging Bench’. I’ll also be around during the beginning or end of the day to see some of you in person and to hear all about the children’s days.

Before Pied Piper, I was teaching as a Primary School teacher which has given me invaluable experience with children, but the pull of more Yellow fun and games in the school Holidays was simply too great and I feel very lucky that I get to do this for my work.

I can’t wait to see many of you in person this year and to speak to you via email before then!

Hello, I’m Charlotte and along with my husband James, I manage a variety of Pied Piper sites.

When you ring us you will likely speak to me on the phone as well as being on emails to help with any questions or queries you may have.

As a company director, I really want to ensure that the children in our care have the best time possible which is why I love being part of a small, family-run and family-centred business where we get to know our parents and children as individuals and not just as booking numbers.

During the Easter and Summer, you will likely see me on camps during registration and the children will see me throughout the day checking in as well as getting involved in the activities. During the rest of the year, I work hard behind the scenes preparing equipment, staff training and all other aspects which allow us to create ‘wonderful childhood memories’ each season.

Alongside Pied Piper, I am a fully qualified teacher with experience in both primary and secondary schools.

I also have my own little ones – Freddie, who is 3 and Elsie, who is 1. For those of you who have attended before you have likely seen me with them in carriers giving them their first Pied Piper experiences.

As a parent, I know that when you bring your child(ren) to us, you are trusting us with your most prized possession and it makes me incredibly proud to see how many children return to us year-on-year because of the trust you have in us and our staff.

I hope to see many of you at camps this year and look forward to speaking with you and meeting your wonderful children.

Hi, I’m James and along with Charlotte I run a number of Pied Piper camps in East and West Sussex.

I started working for Pied Piper Activities when I was just 18 years old. Now 16 years later, it brings me a lot of joy when I interview and recruit members of staff who I used to group lead for.

Throughout the year I work on the operational side of camps and during Easter and summer you will likely find me on site, running some of the bigger activities such as tag archery and zorb football.

Alongside Pied Piper, I’m also a secondary school PE teacher so I love bringing my knowledge and passion for sports to camps and getting involved in activities alongside the children.

The thing I love most about running Pied Piper is the huge variety of activities we are able to offer and coming up with new and exciting ideas for the children to take part in each season.

Looking forward to seeing many of you this year!

My main role is to get our staff ready to make each day super special for the children on camp. This ranges from building links with local schools, colleges and universities, interviewing new staff and leading staff training. I am known to have made a few favourite games on camp, from endless dodgeball to Red Rover.

When we are up and running I’ll be driving around Sussex and Kent to make sure our camps are always full of paint, freddos and plasters!

While on camp I use the skills I have developed as a secondary teacher in London to coach our Team Captains and Group Leaders to make sure the camps always meet our (and your) extremely high standards.

I look forward to seeing you all on camp and I know our staff team are excited to get started in yellow!

Hello – I’m Sarah.

I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have been very lucky to be part of the Pied Piper team for the last 5 years. My role is to ensure our early years children have the best time at Pied Piper!

As well as Pied Piper, I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with early years expertise. I love to bring my passion for play and the joy of imagination to Pied Piper.

On camp you’ll often find me joining a bear hunt, creating magical story sticks in the woods or racing on to the obstacle course!

I feel very lucky to be a part of a family centred business and always look forward to not only meeting all of the new children but welcoming back returning families each year.

I am looking forward to creating ‘wonderful childhood memories’ with your children this Easter and Summer season!
