WHAT? Multi-Sports and Multi-Activity Camp for boys and girls aged 4.5 to 12.​

WHO? All of our Holiday Camps are run and managed by highly experienced sports coaches and qualified teachers.

Because all of our staff come from school based PE teaching backgrounds, we do not have timetable of events at any of our camps. Our camps are very much child lead, with the emphasis on trying new sports and activities, whilst building confidence and developing leadership skills. A rough guide to an camp day would be as follows –

 

8.30am: Extended Day children arrive & register. All children go straight in to a full group game on arrival.

9.00am: First Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

10.00am: Camp Day children arrive and register. All children go straight in to a full group game on arrival.

10.30am: Camp rules explained and details of the day discussed with children.

10.45am: Second Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

11.30am: Break & supervised free play.

11.45am: Third Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

12.30pm: Lunch

1.15pm: Fourth Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

2.00pm: Fifth Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

3.00pm: Break & supervised free play.

3.15pm: Sixth Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

4.00pm: Camp Day children are collected. All remaining children continue previous sport.

4.15pm: Seventh Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

5.00pm: Eighth Sport/Activity (full group or small groups).

5.30pm: Extended Day children collected. CAMP END.

Yes. If you plan to drop off your child later then the camp start time (10am start only), then this is no problem.

If you plan to collect your child earlier then the scheduled camp  finish time, then you must notify our staff beforehand. Alternatively, you can email info@tenembee.org.uk and a message will be passed to the relevant camp.

Parents are strongly advised not to stay unless there is a medical reason to do so. If your child arrives to our camp upset or anxious, our staff will invite you to sit and watch the first few minutes of whatever game the children are playing. Parents will not be able to come in to the hall/playground/pitch where the children are playing, but all of our camps have suitable viewing areas.
