See how we tailor the Multi Active programme by age

Children are grouped with others of a similar age, see below for a typical structure of how the day, sports and activities vary by age.

5-7

Younger members love Multi Active. Camp enables them to try lots of new activities such as parachute games, circle games, swimming and other sports and active games. Coaches focus on developing core skills such as agility, balance and co-ordination.

8-11

8-11s benefit from 45 minute sports and activity sessions during camp. Designed to encourage learning and progression in a variety of sports, and giving them the chance to develop their appreciation for teamwork. Inter-group challenges offer the opportunity to participate alongside older children too.

12-14

Teens enjoy a challenge, so we channel their energy into hour-long sports sessions focusing on technique and positive competition. Teens develop confidence and life-skills such as teamwork, leadership and co-operation, giving 12 – 14s the opportunity to be active and hang-out with friends! (This group is often smaller in numbers so please call to check ages by camp)

Activity, fun & leadership skills for 15-17s

At Kings Camps, our older teens – aged 15 – 17 attend our Rookie Academy programme where they develop leadership skills and improve their self-confidence by participating in, and delivering sports and activities with all ages, alongside support from our Red Tops.

The Rookie Academy has three levels, each representing a progression in skills development. Each level takes a minimum of two weeks to complete and can be over multiple seasons. A number of guided hours need to be logged in the Rookie workbook for each level and only one level can be completed each season.

The Rookie Academy, specifically Level 3, has been quality assured and endorsed by 1st4sport – a recognised and regulated awarding body.

Develop confidence and leadership skills such as planning, organisation, self-reflection and problem solving.

Rookie Academy is proven to be a great practical experience for teens considering a career in sport, coaching and education. After completing the programme and turning 18, Rookies can progress to work as a Red Top on camp, as part of our coaching team.

Work for us

Using the Rookie Academy workbook, and supported by Red Tops, teens complete tasks and learn about active sports coaching and topics such as health and safety (we make it more interesting than it sounds!), activity-session planning and delivery, techniques for managing child behaviour, assessing and analysing performance and target setting.

The programme links practical experience and activities with theory. A Level 3 Diploma Certificate is available on completion of all 3 levels, and certificates can be added to CVs and higher education applications.

Level 1 – Log minimum 5 hours practical work
Level 2 – Log minimum 10 hours practical work
Level 3 – Log minimum 15 hours practical work
1st4sport Level 3 Diploma Certificate on completion of all levels.

All teens attending the Rookie Academy will receive a Rookie pack at the start of each level. This includes a welcome letter, workbook, t-shirt and wristband and will arrive in the post, the week prior to camp starting.

Rookies progress to lead their own sessions under the supervision of our professional team.
