Since 1991, we’ve strived to create the best summer camps and sports camp experiences for children. From the moment they arrive on camp to the last activities of the day, our brilliant Red Tops are committed to ensuring every Kings Camper is engaged, active, having fun and learning together. With over 30 sports and games for children aged 5-17, there’s something for every child to love, available near you at over 50 stunning venues.
For more information on our programmes, select the age range of your child below.
Ages 5-7
Our summer camps for 5-7 year olds offer an amazing introduction to getting active! Not only do they try lots of new sports and active games, they learn new skills, make friends and have tons of fun!
Ages 8-11
Our sports camps for 8-11 year olds are so engaging, they don’t even realise they’re learning and progressing through sports. With lots of collaborative games, it’s a great way to develop their team working and communication skills.
Ages 12-17
We know older children like a challenge- that’s why we’ve created our action-packed Teen Active programme. When they turn 15, they can join us as a Rookie and train to become a future Red Top.

Summer Camps made special
Our coaching staff are amazing individuals, each with their own unique background in sports or childcare. We call them Red Tops because of their iconic red uniforms – you can’t miss them in a crowd! Red Tops get selected by our in-house recruitment team for their outgoing and energetic personalities, dedication to child development and ability to inspire children. We call this magic formula The Kings Factor.

Independent reviews from parents
Don’t just take our word for it! We encourage and regularly engage with parent feedback from our members to ensure our summer camps are the best they can possibly be. There’s no airbrushing here – Feefo only allows honest, impartial feedback from parents whose children have genuinely experienced our sports camps.
Every day my son had an amazing time. He tried new sports, had loads of fun and made new friends. The Red Tops were amazing and make such a difference. I’ll take him every year; he loves it!
Friendly, kind and enthusiastic coaches. My daughter had a fabulous time, in fact, we extended the hours as she kept telling me to go away again at the end of the day!
My daughter waits at the door to get to Kings Camps in the morning, she loves going, makes lots of new friends and is happily exhausted at the end of each day.
