Do you know someone with a career in sport?

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.

Questions

October half term, answered

Can I book single days?

Yes. Each week is sold by the day or as a full week, and the full week is the better value. Everything is on the two booking pages above.

Does my child need to speak French?

No. Sessions run in both languages. A child who has never heard a word of French follows the whole day in English.

What happens if it rains?

Nothing changes. October camps are based indoors at The Dome and we go outdoors when the weather allows, so a camp is never cancelled for rain.

Is lunch provided?

No. Children bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. No food or drinks are provided.
