Half-term in Shefford is getting an Army-themed twist on February 16th. BounceCamp is taking over Robert Bloomfield Academy for a day of foam-dart battles, inflatable challenges, obstacle activities and energetic play for children aged 4+.
This is not simply a Nerf game followed by a bounce. We are putting several types of activity together so children can tackle challenges, join organised games and spend time exploring the inflatable attractions during their visit.
If your children would rather be climbing, sliding, running and firing foam darts than sitting indoors during the February break, this is the date to put in the diary.
Your Mission Starts at Robert Bloomfield Academy
Army Inflatable Day takes place at:
Robert Bloomfield Academy
Bloomfield Drive
Shefford
SG17 5BU
Visitors book a session rather than arriving for unrestricted all-day admission. This allows us to manage the number of people taking part and organise the different activities running inside the event.
Once you arrive, our team will explain how the activities work and provide the relevant equipment for the Nerf games.
Stage One: Enter the Nerf Battle Arena
One of the main features of the day is our military-style inflatable battle zone.
Instead of simply handing everyone a blaster and sending them into an open space, the arena uses inflatable obstacles and cover points to create a proper playing area for foam-dart games.
Players can duck behind obstacles, move around the arena and take part in different game formats organised by our attendants. Soft Nerf blasters and foam darts are supplied, so you do not need to arrive carrying an armoury from home.
There is a briefing before activities begin, staff oversee the games and optional face protection equipment is available.
Stage Two: Take on the Inflatable Challenges
The Nerf arena may provide the military theme, but it is only one part of the day.
Army Inflatable Day also brings in the kind of physical activities that make BounceCamp events such an energetic option for school holidays. Depending on the event layout, children can find themselves climbing, bouncing, negotiating obstacles and heading down large inflatable slides between organised games.
That combination is particularly useful when friends or siblings do not all want to do the same thing. One child might be eager to get back into the Nerf arena while another is much happier tackling an inflatable obstacle section or heading for a slide.
Families looking for other high-energy activities during school breaks can also browse our kids fun days and Holiday Fun & Weekend Adventures.
Is This Just for Children Who Already Play Nerf?
No. Children do not need previous Nerf experience or their own equipment to take part.
The organised format makes Army Inflatable Day accessible to first-time players as well as children who already spend half their life collecting foam darts from behind the sofa.
The event is suitable for ages 4+, and the mixture of activities also means the whole visit does not depend on how confident somebody feels about joining a Nerf game.
It can be a particularly good choice for groups of friends, siblings of different ages and children who enjoy active challenges rather than quieter half-term activities.
Planning a Birthday During February Half-Term?
A February birthday can be difficult when the weather rules out many of the usual outdoor plans. If the dates line up, attending Army Inflatable Day with a group of friends gives children an activity-packed alternative.
BounceCamp also offers Party packages at selected events, so speak to us if you are considering bringing a larger birthday group.
What Should Parents Know Before Coming?
A little planning will make your visit easier.

What Makes an Army Inflatable Day Different from a Regular BounceCamp Event?
Our inflatable theme park events usually put the emphasis on a broad collection of large-scale inflatable attractions. Army Inflatable Day adds another layer by building organised foam-dart gameplay and a military theme into the programme.
There is still plenty of physical inflatable fun, but children can also become part of teams, follow game instructions and take on different challenges inside the battle arena.
It creates a different type of BounceCamp session for families who have already attended one of our other events, while still retaining the large inflatable activities that new visitors may be looking for.
Make February 16th Your Half-Term Mission
February half-term does not have to mean spending the week trying to think of another indoor activity for the children.
On February 16th, we will be at Robert Bloomfield Academy in Shefford with the Nerf blasters ready, inflatable obstacles in position and a full session of activities waiting to begin.
Tickets are sold according to venue, date and session. Everyone using the equipment requires a ticket, including accompanying adults who intend to take part on the inflatables.
