Thirty-five seconds of an Essence summer.
Bubble football, the inflatable water park, chalk on the playground and a field full of children who have forgotten their tablets exist.
This is our own film, shot at camp this summer, so what you are watching is exactly what your child turns up to.

How we work with schoolsWhat parents say
In their own words, shared with their permission.
My child absolutely loved his time at camp. As soon as he got into the car he asked to go back. Cam really encouraged my son to make friends and develop his football skills further. I would recommend this camp to all other parents for the variety of sports and arts & crafts. I had one very happy boy. Thank you Cam & Team.
My son looks forward to the after-school club every Tuesday. He really enjoys taking part in the various ball games, and on hot days, they also organise fun activities such as water balloon games. He has a great time every week. Thank you!
My son attended the summer camp at Frith Manor school, he absolutely loved it. Cam and his team were friendly and inviting from the outset. The atmosphere was fun, lots of games and high energy. We will definitely be going back to the camp.

- First aid trained lead coaches, covered by Public Liability Insurance.

Questions parents actually ask
What ages do you take?
3 to 15. Groups are split by age so the youngest are not swept along by the oldest.
What should they bring?
A packed lunch, a drink bottle, suncream or a coat depending on the weather, and trainers they can run in. Nothing else.
My child does not really like sport. Is it still for them?
Yes. There is a craft table running all day alongside the sport, and Coach Melanie is an arts and crafts specialist with 20+ years in education. Plenty of children spend half the day there and have a brilliant time.
