How our holiday camps run

Parents' guide

Everything parents ask before the first morning, in one place.

Arena camps run every school break for players aged six to fourteen. Each day mixes coached skills, small-sided games and a final tournament, and the same coaches stay with each group all week.

A typical day

  • Drop-off from 8:30 at the main reception, with a coach at the door
  • Warm-up and skills blocks before a mid-morning snack break
  • Games in the afternoon, finishing with the daily tournament at 3:30
  • Collection by 4:00, or late club until 5:30 if you booked it

What to bring

Pack trainers and boots, shin pads, a refillable water bottle, a packed lunch and a warm layer. Please label everything with your child's name — the lost property box fills up fast.

Missed days and refunds

If your child is unwell, let us know before 8:00 and we will carry the day over to the next camp. Full refunds are available up to fourteen days before the camp starts.
