Two weeks of camp, in the middle of the October half term, for children aged 4 to 15. Here is how the week runs, what it costs, and what to put in the bag.
Deux semaines de camp pendant les vacances d'octobre, pour les enfants de 4 à 15 ans.
Everything on one page: October half term camps in North London, dates, hours, prices and the day selector.
The dates
| Week | Dates | Book |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Monday 19 to Friday 23 October 2026 | Week 1 |
| Week 2 | Monday 26 to Friday 30 October 2026 | Week 2 |
You can book a single day or the full week. The full week costs less than five separate days, and your child keeps the same group and the same coaches from Monday to Friday, which matters more than most parents expect for a child who is new to the camp.
Where it takes place
Week 1 is based indoors at The Dome, 170 Weedington Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 4NU, with outdoor sessions whenever the weather allows. Nearest tube: Kentish Town. Overground: Gospel Oak.
Week 2 is an outdoor week by choice, for the benefits of fresh air, with an indoor solution if the weather requires it. The exact meeting point is confirmed by email a few days before the camp.
Our camps are outdoors on Hampstead Heath as often as the weather permits, at Parliament Hill Fields in the spring and summer. A week is never called off for rain.

Two programmes, one group spirit
Multi-sports
For children who do not specialise in one sport and want to try everything: dodgeball, rounders, badminton, athletics, team games. Each day has its own theme, there is a Koh-Lanta day of team challenges on the Thursday, and the week ends with the Olympic finale on Friday.
Football
Not a club, a holiday programme: dribbling, passing, shooting, control, one-v-one, reading the game. Our coaches adapt to each child's level, from a first touch to a club player working on one specific skill.
Children are grouped by age and by level, 4 to 6, 6 to 11, 11 to 15. A child on the edge of two groups is placed where they will do best, and the coaches decide that with you on the first morning.
What to put in the bag
- A packed cold lunch, we do not provide meals, and the whole camp eats together between 12:00 and 12:45.
- A labelled water bottle. There is a hydration break after every activity.
- Trainers and clothes that can get dirty.
- A jumper and a waterproof, whatever the forecast says in the morning, the group goes outdoors as soon as the weather allows.
- Snacks for the morning and the afternoon.
How booking works
You book the week or the days online. Straight after payment you receive a confirmation email, then a short form asking for the information we need to look after your child: allergies, medical details, emergency contacts and the adults authorised to collect them. It must be completed at least 48 hours before the camp starts.
On the Friday or Saturday before the camp, a final email gives the exact meeting point, the list of things to bring, and an invitation to the WhatsApp group for that week, daily updates, photos if you have allowed them, and last-minute information.
Bilingual, and it is not a slogan. Coaching runs in English and French all day. A child who has just arrived in London and a child who has never heard a word of French both find their place. Our coaches hold Level 2 or 3 qualifications, Child Safeguarding and Paediatric First Aid certificates, and an Enhanced DBS check.
One more thing, for October
During these two weeks we are inviting people who have built a career in sport, players, coaches, referees, physios, journalists, to spend a moment with the children, who prepare the questions and run the interview themselves. If someone in your circle would enjoy taking part, write to holicampltd@gmail.com.
Places are limited each week and allocated in the order bookings arrive, numbers are capped so every activity meets our supervision standards.
