A TYPICAL DAY AT SPORTS CAMP

In the morning children can be dropped off from 8:30 – 9am where they will need to be signed-in.

The morning sessions run from 9am until 12pm, with a 30minute break around 10.30am to either rest, have a snack or enjoy some free-play. In the mornings children will meet the coaches and other children, play warm up games and take part in the first few sports of the day.

Lunch is from 12-1 every day. Everyone will have time to eat their food and have some time to rest. All lunches are supervised by Northumbria staff. There are also vending machines that  children can be taken to at lunch time to purchase extra snacks if you wish to give them any pocket money.

The afternoon session will include sports up until 4.30pm, with a break around 3pm, with a different sport being offered each 45/60mins. From 4.30pm there will be some fun cool down games and activities.

If you wish to collect your child before 4pm, please inform staff in the morning so they are aware of an early collection.
