Our camps are open to children aged 5 to 13, and provide daily sports and activities, all under the supervision of experienced and DBS verified camp staff.
“SummerZone was an amazing experience for my 5-year-old daughter. She got to try so many new activities and found loads of new sports and games that she thoroughly enjoyed. It was well run and I was impressed at how well the staff knew all the children by name and personality. Amazing value as well. Highly recommend and we will be back next year!”

We do not currently offer a sibling discount.
We are not OFSTED registered but we pride ourselves on being a camp of a high professional standard. Safeguarding and our children’s wellbeing is our number one priority.
Yes. During each day of camp there will be two small breaks and a lunch break for children to eat should they wish. Please provide your children with a packed lunch.
We are a nut free camp, so please do not pack any nuts or nut products.
We have an amazing four court Indoor Tennis Centre which provides enough space for us to continue camp indoors out of the rain or heat.
We offer a wide range of sports and activities, including: minigolf, Street Dance, football, cricket, tennis and many others. Once the camp timetable is finalised, this will be available to view on our website.
A major benefit of our multi-sports camp is that children get to try a wide range of activities and sports across the week. If a certain sport isn’t their favourite, then they only do said sport once or twice over the entire week. Our experienced coaches are able to cater sessions for all abilities and interests and the sessions are focused around fun/social games and activities as opposed to in depth technical/tactical sessions.
If you wish to change any or all the days you have booked with us, you must notify us immediately. We cannot guarantee a space for the date you wish to move to. If a space has been made available for you and you do not show up, you may still be charged for this service. This will be at the discretion of Kent Sport.
