Kings Camps have been working with the Royal Navy for many years operating Kings Camps multi-sports and activity camps at locations across the UK. Through the Strengthening Families – By Your Side programme that’s been developed by the RNRMC and Naval Families Federation, Kings Camps have created and are hosting The Weekender, an incredible experience for teenagers of Serving families.
