Entertainment

This year, the world of Chamboree transforms into the Animal Kingdom – an immersive festival-style adventure where the biomes of the world unite through music, performance, storytelling and celebration.

At the heart of the experience lies PULSE, the main entertainment arena and home of Chamboree X, where participants will experience huge live shows, immersive performances, roaming entertainment, gameshows, festivals and unforgettable camp moments throughout the week.

Across camp you’ll encounter sub camp-themed performers, cinematic entertainment experiences and interactive moments designed to make Chamboree 2026 feel bigger, louder and more immersive than ever before.

🎶 Music is our lifeblood. Energy is in our DNA.
🎭 From sunrise stretch-outs to full-scale stage shows.
🔥 This is where the memories are made.

👉 Want to meet the people behind the madness? Meet Chamboree X

Chamboree’s very own Redcoats (ask your leaders for the 90s holiday camp reference 😉)

Chamboree X are the high-energy dream team behind everything that happens on the Pulse stage – from the very first beat to the final dance number. If it’s loud, lively, or a little bit ridiculous, chances are an X’er is behind it.

We’re Chamboree’s answer to the classic holiday camp entertainers – DJs, presenters, sketch writers, tech wizards, stage managers and chaos coordinators, all rolled into one glitter-fuelled crew.

But we don’t just live on stage… every subcamp will have their very own X’er Rep – your go-to hype machine for gameshows, parades, competitions and morning madness. Get to know them. Learn their name. Then scream it every time they appear like they’re your favourite 90s boyband member.

🎭 We bring the story. You bring the noise.
