During the October camps we are inviting people who have built a career in sport, players, coaches, referees, physios, journalists, to spend a moment with the children. The children prepare the questions and run the interview themselves.
If someone in your circle would enjoy taking part, send us a message and we will take it from there.
Pendant les camps d'octobre, nous invitons des personnes ayant fait carrière dans le sport à venir rencontrer les enfants, qui préparent et mènent l'interview eux-mêmes. Si vous connaissez quelqu'un dans votre entourage, écrivez-nous.

Bilingual sports camps
Sport, in two languages, for 4 to 15 year olds
HOLICAMP has been running bilingual French-English sports camps in North London since 2016. Football, multisport and game-based learning, in small groups, with coaches who speak both languages.
Outdoors firstOur camps run outdoors at Parliament Hill Fields, Hampstead Heath, NW5 1LT, whenever the weather allows.
An indoor venue when neededWhen the weather turns, we move to The Dome, 170 Weedington Road, Kentish Town, NW5 4NU. A camp is never called off for rain.
Every dayFlexible childcare from 8:30 am to 4:45 pm.
Coaching teamLevel 2 and 3 qualified, Enhanced DBS checked, Paediatric First Aid.
Inside the camp
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 English and French 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.
We are outdoors on Hampstead Heath as often as the weather allows, and we move indoors when it does not. The venue for each period is written on its own page. Our calendar follows the French school holidays, which is why so many bilingual families plan their year around it.
