What a week at HOLICAMP looks like

Everything your child's week is made of, from the programme to the pick-up time.

The programme

Two streams, one group spirit

Children choose between a personalised Football Programme for all levels and a Multisport Programme built on variety: dodgeball, rounders, badminton, athletics and team games. Every day has its own theme, and the week builds towards a finale.

  • Empathy Day — games that teach sharing and teamwork.
  • Koh-Lanta Thursday — team challenges inspired by the adventure show.
  • Olympic Friday — both groups compete together: vortex throwing, long jump and more.
The team

Coaches who speak your child's language

The whole team holds Level 2 or 3 coaching qualifications, Child Safeguarding and Paediatric First Aid certificates, and an Enhanced DBS check. Several coaches are FA Licensed.

Coaching runs in French and English throughout the day, so a child who has just arrived in London and a child who has never heard a word of French both find their place. Groups are kept small and split by age and level, so nobody is left on the side of the pitch.

The day

Built around family life

Drop-off from 8:30 AM, pick-up until 4:45 PM, so the camp fits a working day. Children aged 4 to 15 are welcome, from any school and any background.

In autumn and winter we are indoors at The Dome in Kentish Town, whatever the weather. In spring and summer we are outdoors on Hampstead Heath. Our calendar follows the French school holidays, which is why so many bilingual families plan their year around it.

HOLICAMP is an independent organisation and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated in partnership with any school or educational institution.

More Than a Camp, a Transformative Experience!

For seven years, Holicamp has been a key player in children’s sports education. Beyond just a holiday camp, we provide a structured and educational experience, helping every child develop their athletic skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.

At Holicamp, every child is unique. We offer personalized support to tailor our approach to their abilities and skill level—whether they are beginners or aspiring athletes. We are also committed to encouraging less sporty children to discover the joy of movement through dedicated initiation and awareness sessions.

In 2025, we are taking our mission even further by partnering with Smile younited, an association dedicated to supporting vulnerable children. Through this initiative, we aim to provide access to both education and sports, key drivers of inclusion and personal growth. By working together, we aspire to make a real difference in children’s lives, ensuring they have the opportunity to learn, play, and thrive.


Join the Holicamp adventure and give your child more than just a camp—an enriching, educational, and meaningful experience.
