After the war the camp became a chance for Liverpool schoolchilden to get their first taste of the countryside. There were problems though, in 1951, 150 boys rioted smashing crockery as a protest against the food in the camps.
In March 1957 Liverpool Corporation bought Colomendy from the National Camps Corporation for £46,500.
In May 1969 the residential Glan Alyn Secondary Edcuation school was opened. The school closed in 1990 and its residential blocks became part of the main Colomendy camp.
