Des camps de sport bilingues anglais-français pour les enfants de 4 à 15 ans, depuis 2016.
Why HOLICAMP exists
Back in 2016, we wanted to offer a play scheme for children staying in London during the school holidays. Right from the start, we wanted it to be fun, built on games and sport, but also to have clear educational goals and high standards of care.
That is how our team began putting together a rich programme of activities for children from 4 to 15 years old, making sure that core values, respect, teamwork, confidence, run through everything we do, channelled through fun and well-being.
What started as a small holiday programme has grown into a project built around one belief: children learn best when they are engaged, active and having fun.
Over the years, HOLICAMP has welcomed hundreds of children from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. Our programmes combine physical activity, teamwork, creativity, confidence building and problem solving, in a safe and caring environment.
Who designs the programmes
The concept was designed and developed by Serigne N’Dong, known within the organisation as The Conceptor. Drawing on his experience in youth work, sports coaching, educational activities and game creation in France and the United Kingdom, he specialises in designing original challenges, large-scale games, team-building activities and immersive learning experiences for children.
Alongside Serigne, HOLICAMP works with a team of qualified coaches, instructors, teachers, performers and activity leaders who share the same passion for creating memorable experiences for young people.
- Serigne, Director, French BAFA graduate, youth activity specialist, game designer and programme creator
- Bilel Baï, PE teacher and former professional football player
- Iris, Coach and singer
- Lara, Coach instructor
- … as well as many other seasonal team members who join us through the year, depending on the programme.
⚠️ HOLICAMP LTD is an independent organisation and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any school, unless explicitly stated for a specific event or partnership.
To keep our standards of quality, supervision and safety, places are limited each week and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Numbers are managed so that every activity meets safeguarding and health and safety requirements.
Where the camps take place
Outdoors, our first choice 🌤 🌳
Whenever the weather allows, camp is outdoors on Parliament Hill Fields, Hampstead Heath. Our meeting point is just behind the Parliament Hill Lido swimming pool.
Parliament Hill Fields
Hampstead Heath, London NW5 1LT

Overground: Gospel Oak.
An indoor venue when we need one 🌧 ❄️
What if it is raining cats and dogs? We book indoor facilities such as The Dome, a sports complex in Kentish Town, so the day goes ahead indoors. A camp is never called off for rain.
The Dome
170 Weedington Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 4NU

The venue for each period is written on its own page. If the meeting point changes during the day because of the weather, the team tells you in advance.
