Sports and activity camps that get the best out of every child!

Our Multi Active Programme is designed to get children active, having fun and learning together through a week of sports and active games. A typical summer camp day includes sports and activity sessions, time to socialise and team challenges.
Older teens attending our Rookie Academy will enjoy sports and active games, and developing leadership skills. The Rookie Academy is a great career starter, and a chance to get away from screens for a few hours!
No dates are available for booking at this venue. Please call us on 0114 263 2160 for more information or check back later.

Don't just take our word for it!
We encourage parent feedback and regularly engage with them to ensure our summer camps are the best they can be. There’s no airbrushing here – Feefo only allows honest, impartial feedback from parents whose children have experienced our sports camps.

Amazing Easter Camp as always - thank you

A great sports camp which was throughly enjoyed by my daughter
My daughter had a fantastic time and got so much out of the activities. She made new friends and came home each day very happy. She found the Red Shirts a great bunch and really enjoyed their tutoring over the 4 days.

My daughter Arya has loved Kings Camps since she started at the holiday camps at Blue Coat School. The coaches are absolutely amazing and really look after the children and ensure they have a fantastic time. She loves the variety of different games she has the opportunity to participate in and of course the swimming. she looks forward to going every time and always comes home with a smile on her face. I cannot recommend this Camp enough!

My boys loved their Kings Camps adventures over the Easter
I highly recommend Kings Camps - my boys come home full of stories of what they have done during the day and they are shattered but very happy. They love the red tops and I feel relaxed knowing my boys are left in safe hands.

Engaging, Friendly, Professional & Encouraging Sports Camp
The setup on arrival was very professional, and the staff were super friendful, helpful and you felt secure leaving your child in their care. My daughter is not the most sporty but she sure enjoyed elements of each day, and the instructors made sure each child felt involved and were very engaging and encouraging. At the end of it my daughter said she would love to go back in the summer. Overall I was extremely impressed and would happily recommend Kings Camps.
James, Monmouth
Consistently a great experience
This was the second Kings Camp that our 8 year old has attended. He was so keen to come back after last summer that when the opportunity came up for an Easter holiday session we jumped at the chance. He’s had another great week of activity supported by excellent staff at an outstanding location. We can’t ask for much more!
