COVER STORY | Kids' Entertainment IT’S A LAUNCH! The Square Camberley is now accepting members into its brand new Kids Club T he families who attended The Square Camberley’s school holiday camp this past February didn’t know it, but they gave the UK center’s marketing staff a dry run of sorts before introducing its Kids Club. Created for children ages four to 10 years, the camp’s program was varied but all on offer was highly participatory (see highlights right) and, judging by the turnout, well received. That response gave the center extra confidence ahead of the club’s March 19 launch. In addition to hosting special events for children year-round, The Square Camberley intends to develop parent-focused content and offer exclusive deals as well, together with its tenants. The first 1,000 children who were signed up each received a membership card and welcome pack that included a water bottle and small reusable tote. “Our first Kids Camp of 2018 was great fun! With a different free activity each day, there really was something for everyone to keep them busy over the school half-term break. Across the five days we received more than 500 families,” said marketing manager, Joanna Santos. With a regular young clientele secured, the center hosted another camp, this time for the Easter break. The format was the same, with five consecutive days of activities with the original partners and a new collaborator: Jake’s Playworld, which presented its Easter Farm. 32 TACTICS / KID'S ENTERTAINMENT EDITION
