Bloomsbury's Easter Football Camp is back for 2024!For young people 7 to 15 years We aim to offer a fun and inclusive camp for kids of all skill levels to stay physically active while having fun over the Easter holidays. Each day of camp focuses on a different fundamental football skill such as: dribbling, passing, defending and shooting. On the final day of the week we will then hold a tournament. In addition to our football offering we will also include a number of fun and impactful experiences ranging from football-based art workshops to mental wellbeing discussions with professional footballers. A free hot nutritious lunch will be provided each day. We have 50 free places for eligible young people each day. If you are not eligible or would like to attend for more than 4 days, please contact the email below for information as to how you can attend.

Cancellations&nbsp;If your child can no longer attend this activity, you must cancel the place as soon as possible. You can do this on the central booking system&nbsp;or by calling&nbsp;us directly. This will give another child the chance to access a funded place. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Special Educational Needs and Disabilities&nbsp;Parents of children with additional needs, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and/or Education Health Care (EHC) plans, must contact the provider directly as soon as possible, to supply them with the relevant information before attending the provision. This is so that the provider can assess how best to support your child. The provider is committed to meeting the needs of all children and young people including those with additional needs and SEND. The provider will use its best endeavours to make sure that a child with additional needs gets the support they need – this means doing everything it can&nbsp;reasonably do to meet the child’s needs.
