To help you prepare for your child’s attendance, please find below some helpful information to get ready for camp;

What to bring to camp;

  • Coat/Raincoat (depending on weather and time of year)
  • Sun lotion/hat/sunglasses
  • Packed lunch (Please ensure that nuts are not included in your child’s lunch or snacks, including peanut butter, ‘may contain nuts’ and Nutella)
  • Refillable bottle of water (labelled with their name)
  • Spare pair of clothes on Elite Activity days for Water Wars. (Summer Only)
  • Please do not bring any personal belongings to camp unless a detriment to your child’s wellbeing.
  • We do operate a no mobile phone policy for all children attending. If your child needs to bring their phone to camp this can be left with the camp manager or in their bag at their own risk. 

From time to time our marketing team will visit the camps to use the opportunity to take promotional videos or photos for our marketing campaigns, including print materials, social media, website and advertising opportunities. 

Each child’s participant profile has the option to select yes or no to marketing permission. If permission is not granted we will ensure the children do not appear facially in any photos.

When booking two children or more on to the same camp session your booking will automatically receive a 5% discount off your total price.

Our Cancellation Policy can be found in the footer of our website in the terms and conditions.

Each camp has an allocated mobile number for use on the day should you be running late or need to confirm any details you forgot to give at registration.

The camp mobile numbers will be displayed on signs at registration in the morning.

Yes please, each child will need to bring their own lunch including snacks for morning/afternoon breaks and lunchtime. Please do bear in mind we are a nut-free camp as we have children with allergies including items that ‘may contain nuts’, peanut butter and Nutella. There are some great healthy lunch ideas on the BBC Good Food Website.

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) scheme runs during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays and is funded by local councils. Children in receipt of income-assessed free school meals may be eligible.
 
For Oxfordshire camps:
Parents must book through the government-approved website eequ.org. Create an account, search for our camps, and submit a booking request. Eligibility is automatically checked through the system — no code is required. Once submitted, we’ll receive the request and confirm your place if approved.
 
For Berkshire camps:
Bookings must be made via holidayactivities.com. Create an account, search for our camps, and submit a booking request. Eligibility is automatically checked through the system — no code is required. Once submitted, we’ll receive the request and confirm your place if approved.
 
Please do not attempt to book a HAF place through our main website or by any other method, as these will not be accepted.

Each of our camp locations are registered with a variety of childcare vouchers and the government tax free scheme. All these references can be found on the bottom of each camp location page. If your provider isn’t listed please do get in touch. Voucher payments must be made at the time of booking to avoid your places being cancelled. 

Absolutely — we welcome children of all abilities at Elite Youth Sports and are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment. While we are not a specialist SEN provider, our experienced team will do everything we can to make sure your child feels safe, included, and able to enjoy our activities.

We work closely with parents and guardians to understand each child’s needs and, where appropriate, liaise with local authorities and external agencies in line with Department for Education guidance. If your child may require extra support, please contact us in advance via info@eliteyouthsports.co.uk or 01235 415846 so we can plan together.

Please note that while Elite Youth Sports warmly welcomes all children, we are not able to provide one-to-one supervision unless this has been arranged well in advance and confirmed by Jessica or a member of the Management Team.

For more complex needs, we may ask for a copy of your child’s EHCP to help us assess how best to support them and ensure our camps are the right fit. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive our ‘All About Me’ form — a simple way for you and your child to share their preferences, needs, and strengths so our team can be ready to welcome them from day one.

Our SEN liaison, Jessica Cherry, is on hand as your main point of contact throughout the process.

Yes. Elite Holiday Camps is Ofsted registered, ensuring our holiday camps meet the required standards for the care and safety of children attending our programmes.

We are also currently progressing our Early Years registration to further support our youngest children and ensure our provision continues to meet the specific requirements for children in the Early Years age group.
