The holiday's are fast approaching, and as a parent, you might be thinking about sending your child to a Multi-Sport Camp. Multi-Sports Camps are a great way for kids to stay active, try new activities and meet new friends. But with so many options available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Here's a guide to help you choose the perfect Multi-Sport Camp for your child.
Identify your child's interests and needs
Each Multi-Sport Camp offers different activities and opportunities, so be sure to check these out. Does your child love all sports and just generally being active? Do they have a specific sport they are looking to improve at? Some Camps may offer focussed tuition, such as football camps, whereas Multi-Sport Camps may focus on building social, physical and mental skills.
2. Consider the Camp location, schedule and price
Next, consider the camp's location, schedule and price. Is it close to your home or work? Does the camp offer wrap-around clubs if you need to drop your child off early or pick them up later? Do they offer sibling or full-week discounts? Remember, the most expensive camps are not always the best!
3. Look into the camps reputation and qualifications
Before your book your child on to a Camp, ask local parents where they use for their children during the holiday's. Some camps, such as MultiCoach, are run by qualified teachers, so be sure to check the camps qualifications. Some camps are also registered with Ofsted, this displays their commitment and dedication to your child's safety and well-being.
4. Check the camps facilities and equipment.
It's also important to research where the camp is held. Some camps are run within school settings which are safe and provide adequate space for activities. Scroll back through Social Media to see the type of activities and equipment they use, is it just footballs and basketballs or do they have a range of equipment such as archery and nerf guns.
5. How do the camp communicate with you
Does the camp explain how they will communicate with you? When your child is at camp for the day you want to be happy and confident they are having a great time. Camps may post throughout the day on social media, but some take it a step further by setting up communication groups where you will receive photos and updates from the coaches throughout the day.
6. Read Reviews
Finally, read reviews. Head over the Camps social media or google pages and check out the latest reviews. Parents provide an honest experience of their child's day at camp and can put you at ease when choosing the right camp for your child.
By following these simple steps, you can find the perfect Multi-Sport camp for your child. Remember, the most important thing is to choose a camp that your child will enjoy and benefit from. Have fun exploring the different options and watching your child grow and learn through sports!
