Camp Overview
Three residential camps and a day camp, running through July and August on the Volta. Pick by age; every one of them plays all five sports.
Rally
Born to Play. Built to Move.
Rookie Camp
A gentle, noisy introduction to camp life. Rookie Week is about exploring, splashing and finding your feet — a taster of football, basketball, tennis and swimming alongside team games, craft afternoons and a lot of singing.
Cabin lodging
All meals and snacks
Daily multi-sport sessions
1:6 supervision
All Pro Camp
Two weeks of high-energy play and real progress. Campers rotate through daily skill sessions across five sports, play in the inter-cabin tournament, and take on the group challenges, evening socials and the Friday gala.

Varsity Camp
For young athletes who want to go deeper: advanced clinics in their chosen sport, mentor-led workshops on nutrition and recovery, and specialty tracks — advanced tennis, competitive swimming or the athletics squad.

The sports
Five of them. Every camper, every week.
Nobody specialises here. A camper who arrives certain they only play football leaves having been surprised by at least one other thing.
Football
Small-sided games every day, positional work in the second week, and the inter-cabin tournament that runs the length of the session.
Basketball
Shooting first, dribbling second — Coach Adjoa's rule. Half-court games daily and a full-court final on the last Friday.
Tennis
Four courts, groups of six, and a serve that is taught last on purpose. Rookies start on the short court with soft balls.
Athletics
Sprints, relays and long jump on the grass track, building to the camp sports day — which every camper is entered in whether they ask to be or not.
Swimming
A water-confidence session on day one for everybody, then four levels. Two qualified lifeguards on the side whenever the pool is open.
A day at camp
What Tuesday looks like.
Every day runs to the same shape. Only the sports and the evening change.
06:30 — Up and out
Cabin roll call, a short jog down to the water and back, and beds made before breakfast. Nobody has ever enjoyed this on the first morning and nobody has ever missed it by the last.
08:00 — First session
Coached, in your sport group, before the heat of the day. Ninety minutes, split between skills and a game.
10:15 — Second session
A different sport, a different coach, a different group of campers. This is the rotation that makes the fortnight work.
12:30 — Lunch, then the quiet hour
Books, letters, cards, sleep. Compulsory, universally resented for three days, then fiercely defended.
15:00 — Third session
Tournament fixtures, clinics or the specialty tracks for the Varsity camp.
16:45 — Free swim
The pool, two lifeguards and no structure whatsoever. The best hour of the day by common agreement.
19:30 — Evening activity
Quiz night, the talent show, the campfire, or the tournament final under lights.
21:00 — Lights out
Nine for the Rookies, half past for everybody else. Cabin leaders do the last check at ten.
FAQs
While they are here
What does a typical camp day consist of?
Up at six thirty, breakfast at seven, and two coached sessions before the heat of the day. Lunch and a quiet hour, then a third session, free swim, and an evening activity — quiz night, the talent show, or the inter-cabin final. Lights out at nine for the Rookies and half past nine for everyone else.
What should my child bring to camp?
Training kit for five days, boots and trainers, a swimming costume and goggles, a towel, a water bottle, a torch, sun cream and a hat. We send the full list with your confirmation. Leave phones, tablets and anything valuable at home — there is a camp phone for calling home on Wednesdays and Sundays.
What happens in case of bad weather?
We move indoors. The sports hall takes basketball, indoor football and the workshops, and a wet afternoon usually turns into the camp's favourite one — the storm quiz is a tradition at this point. Sessions are never simply cancelled.
