Fantastic experience with Kings Camps.
My kids had an absolute blast at their holiday camp. The camp is well organised and structured and the kids came come very tired at the end of the day (which is a great sign of a great time).
Lucy, Cardiff
5 stars says it all! Fantastic
The variety of sports and activities is great and the Red Tops are upbeat and enthusiastic. It suits our childcare needs perfectly too so we’re all already counting down to the next camp!

Best week of his life
Our son had such an incredible time - the variety of activities kept him super busy and he thought all the camp staff were really lovely. In his own words 'best week of his life'.

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!
Louise, York
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.

Excellent active club, friendly team
Staff and the manager Bronny all very friendly and welcoming. Boosted my son’s morale when he got a certificate for trying hard in swimming, loved how active it is and playing with new friends.
Louise, Fareham

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!
