A few common questions.

What ages is the camp for?

This October camp is for children aged 5–8.

What will my child do during the day?

Days combine Mini Athletics games, running, jumping and throwing challenges, team activities and some creative time, including arts and crafts.

Does my child need to be sporty?

No. Children can join whether they already love being active or are still finding their confidence. Coaches focus on joining in, trying and enjoying the experience.

What if my child is nervous about joining in?

Tell us before camp what helps them feel comfortable. Our coaches can get to know them and encourage them at their own pace through the games and activities.

Can my child attend for one or two days?

Absolutely. Book one, two or all three days. Every child receives the same warm welcome, care and encouragement, with plenty of chances to play, move and join in.

Can we discuss support needs before booking?

Yes. Email Steph to tell us what would help your child feel comfortable, and we can talk it through with you.

How do we book?
