As the excitement of our Easter activity camps starts to recede, I feel a wave of joy thinking about the incredible moments we shared. Over two lively weeks, our camps in Orpington, Hither Green, Greenwich, Lewisham, and New Cross transformed into vibrant centers of fun and activity. From football and archery to invasion games, basketball, and cricket, each day was an adventure waiting to happen.


The energy was contagious, with kids buzzing in anticipation for each day’s events. We appreciate the trust you place in us to create memorable experiences during school breaks, and I assure you—we delivered beyond expectations!


Activities That Energized and Engaged


Every day at our activity camps was packed with movement and excitement. Our coaching team consisted of skilled professionals who went beyond just teaching; they inspired teamwork, resilience, and respect among the kids.


To spotlight these values, we awarded the "Sportastar sticker" rewards. Each sticker represented effort and achievement, and it was heartwarming to see the children's faces light up as they earned them. Additionally, our “sports stars of the day” medals, awarded to standout participants, lent a sense of pride and accomplishment. This boosted their confidence immensely. For instance, one young camper named Liam scored the winning goal in a tense football match and was thrilled to receive a medal for his outstanding performance, inspiring others to give their best.


Building Life Skills Through Sports


Sports are not just activities; they teach valuable life skills. Working in teams helps children learn cooperation. Playing competitive games fosters resilience and sportsmanship. Each child left our camps not only with new skills but also with important lessons that they can carry forward. These attributes will serve them well both on and off the field.


Celebratory Giveaways and Competitions


Our camps weren't just about sports; they were filled with a variety of competitions that kept excitement levels high. Each day presented children with opportunities to win Sportacus merchandise through fun contests. From relay races to creative challenges involving teamwork, there was always something going on.


Our lovable mascot, Wazoggie—the giant orange Sportacus mascot—made special appearances, bringing energy and joy to the camps. His engaging antics excited the kids and made their experience unforgettable. Kids cheered and laughed as Wazoggie danced and ran around, making each day more special.


More Than Just Fun


Competitions are not just fun; they also foster camaraderie among participants. Children cheered for each other, creating a supportive atmosphere. This camaraderie is essential for developing friendships and a sense of belonging.


Special Visits: A Surprise for the Campers


The Circus!


This Easter, we had an extraordinary surprise for our campers—a circus came to visit! Skilled performers wowed the kids, who had the chance to try circus arts like juggling and plate spinning. Their delighted faces as they attempted balancing acts were a joy to see.


This unexpected twist to our routine injected a dose of creativity into their active days, allowing kids to explore different skill sets while still engaging in physical activities. Our campers demonstrated incredible enthusiasm, and watching their creativity flourish was heartwarming.


RNLI: Engaging with Water Safety


The RNLI visited us over Easter to engage the children in an exciting and informative session on water safety. Through interactive demonstrations, the lifeguards showcased essential skills and knowledge needed to stay safe around water. The children eagerly participated in hands-on activities, learning about the importance of wearing life jackets, understanding rip currents, and the correct procedures to follow in emergencies.


This engaging experience not only educated the children about the potential dangers of water but also instilled a sense of responsibility and awareness, empowering them to make safer choices during their recreational activities by the water. Safety education is crucial, and we are thrilled to provide such valuable lessons.


Dance Like a Pop Star


A two-day dance workshop, themed “Popstars,” was a standout highlight! Campers practiced hard, and their excitement culminated in a lively performance that had everyone clapping. As the music played, kids let loose and showcased their dance moves. On the final day, parents cheered enthusiastically as the kids proudly presented their hard work.


In total, over 150 campers took part in this workshop, and seeing their confidence grow was incredibly rewarding. This experience exemplified the spirit of our Easter activity camps—creating memorable experiences where children shine.


The Joy of Performing


Performances provide an opportunity for children to express themselves. Each participant found joy in dancing, showcasing their individuality. This workshop helped foster creativity and collaboration while empowering campers to step outside their comfort zones.


Easter Fun with the Bunny


Another delightful moment came with the visit from the Easter Bunny. Kids joyfully engaged in an Easter egg hunt, searching for colorful eggs cleverly hidden around the camp. The thrill of discovery sparked excitement and camaraderie among the participants.


This seasonal touch beautifully complemented our action-packed activities. It promoted a spirit of play while maintaining the essence of teamwork. The egg hunt became a cherished memory for many kids, contributing to the overall experience of joy and connection.


A Memorable Two Weeks


Reflecting on those two weeks, I can confidently say our Easter activity camps were a resounding success! Filled with fun, laughter, and learning, every child participated in a variety of sports and discovered new interests. Whether it was through spirited games, captivating circus skills, or dance performances, your children left with big smiles, new friendships, and blossoming talents.

Looking Ahead


As we conclude our reflection on this year’s Easter camps, my excitement for the future is palpable. We are already busy planning our next set of sessions in May, aiming to replicate the joy and enthusiasm that filled our April activities.


For those seeking child care options this half-term, our upcoming camps promise even more fun and enriching experiences. We are dedicated to providing a dynamic and supportive environment where every child can thrive.


Wrapping Up Our Experience


Our Easter activity camps showcased the spirit of play, growth, and community. It has been a joy to witness children flourish while having fun in a safe, encouraging space. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s care and experiences.


We look forward to making more fantastic memories in our half-term and future camps! We can’t wait to see all the smiling faces again soon!
