You must give us 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend. We have a waiting list so we will need notice to fill your spot.  Missed sessions are just, that we operate full camps so any missed sessions/days won’t be refunded. 

We will have basketballs onsite. However we don’t have one for everyone. You can order them at Smiths Toy Store, Decathlon has a huge variety ranging from 10 euro upwards.

MY CHILD IS ALMOST 10 

We only take kids who are 10 years old at camp 3 hours is a long time to be in an activity camp with small groups where effort is required.

We prefer not to mix age categories it doesn’t benefit either group unless they are a total beginner. We can assess the levels on the first day and move if we feel it is in the best interest of the child and the groups. 

If you have more than one child please contact us and we will issue you with a sibling discount code we also have a reduced rate for all our current members on our programme.
