For schools
Bring Catapult to your school this summer
We run the camp. You provide the space. Catapult handles staffing, programming, materials, registration, parent communication and insurance, and your building gets used well over the summer.
Why schools partner with us
- A quality summer option you can recommend without hesitation, in a building your families already trust.
- No work for your staff. We are not asking your teachers to run it or your office to field the phone calls.
- Reserved need-based places for families at your school, and priority enrollment before we open to the wider area.
- Your space, respected. We set up, clean up, and leave rooms as we found them.
The division of labour

How it works
From first call to first Monday
- A short call. Twenty minutes on your building, your families and the weeks you have available.
- A walk-through. We look at the space, work out where building happens and where games happen, and confirm storage.
- Agreement and dates. We put the arrangement and the session calendar in writing.
- We staff and open registration. Hiring, training and enrollment are ours, with priority access for your families.
- Camp runs. You have a named contact on site every day and a direct line to me.
- A debrief. What worked, what we would change, and whether we are doing it again next year.
Start with a twenty minute call
Tell us about your building and the weeks you have free. If it is not a fit, we will say so quickly rather than string you along.
You can also just email hello@catapultcamps.com. Either way you are talking to me, not a sales team.
