SIMMSport update: Camps During Half-Term and Summer

We are delighted to inform you that we have some exciting updates on our popular SIMMSport camps. We will return again at half-term and then for five weeks throughout the summer holidays.

We are continuing to ensure that the health and safety of all involved is our number one priority through our enhanced cleaning protocols, COVID risk assessments, keeping participants and coaches in consistent bubbles and much more.

As we progress through the government's roadmap out of lockdown, guidance on these processes may change, for example allowing us to mix groups throughout a camp. We will continue to stay up to date with the latest guidelines and will communicate these as appropriate.

Camps during May/June half term 

Commencing: Tuesday 1st June 2021

As the Late May Bank Holiday occurs during this week, camps will start on the Tuesday as follows:

  • Multi-Sports Ages 5-12 (9am-3pm): Tuesday 1st - Friday 4th June (£120 for the week)
  • Gymnastics Years R-3 (9-11.45am): Tuesday 1st - Friday 4th June (£75 for the week)
  • Gymnastics Years 4-7 (12:30-3.15pm):  Tuesday 1st - Friday 4th June (£75 for the week)

Our camps are open to all participants, and children do not have to be on our weekly sessions to attend. All camps are designed to allow the kids to try new activities/sports and have fun in a safe environment. Our student coaches are all DBS checked and have the appropriate coaching qualifications from their respective National Governing Bodies.

We are also pleased to confirm that siblings can claim a 10% discount, and St Mary’s University staff can claim a 15% discount from the above prices. Please note that discounts cannot be combined, and discounted bookings need to be made through our reception team, either in person or over the phone.

As government guidance remains to keep children in consistent bubbles, we are currently only accepting full week bookings for our camps.

Summer holidays camps

Commencing: Monday 26th July 2021

We are delighted to confirm that we will be delivering five weeks of our popular multi-sport camps from the week of 26 July:

  • Multi-Sports Ages 5-12 (9am-3pm) - running each week from Monday 26th July, with the final week on Monday 23rd August (£150 for 1 week)
  • Gymnastics - TBC. We are currently working with our team of coaches to establish availability to deliver summer camps and will confirm this as soon as possible.

As noted on our half-term camps, sibling and staff discounts apply.  

Similar to our pevious camps, multi-sport camp days will run from 9am-3pm with staggered drop-off and pick-up to help with social distancing. Children will be arranged into bubble groups (see paragraph below) by age following the camp registrations.

To allow us to adhere to government guidelines and to promote the health and safety of all involved, multi-sport camps will be operating at a capacity of 45 children per week. All registrations will be for the full camp week (no individual day bookings) to allow us to maintain consistent groupings on the camps (3 consistent “bubbles” of 15 children).

We are hoping to deliver further camps during the June half-term and the summer holidays, and will confirm this information in due course.
