Kids Camps at CSC
Move. Play.
Learn. Have fun.
School holidays should give children the chance to move, play, try new things and have fun. CSC Kids Camps are our school holiday activity sessions for children aged 5–15, combining fitness, games, sports, challenges and physical activities into an active and varied experience. They’re not simply longer versions of our CrossFit Kids classes. Our camps are deliberately mixed activity, giving children opportunities to experience different ways of moving, working together and challenging themselves — with plenty of fun along the way.
Fitness, games, sports and challenges
Children aged 5–15 during school holidays
An active
school holiday
Children benefit from opportunities to be physically active, and school holidays can mean spending considerably more time sitting than they normally would. Kids Camps provide somewhere to get moving. Across a camp, children might run, jump, throw, carry, climb, balance, race, play games, tackle challenges and work through team activities. The exact activities can vary from camp to camp. That’s part of the point. We want children to experience a broad range of movement and activity, rather than spending the whole session doing one thing.
Get Started
More than a fitness class
Our Kids Camps aren’t designed to feel like several hours of formal exercise. Structured physical activity forms part of the experience, but so do games, challenges, teamwork and opportunities to simply enjoy being active with other children. Some activities might test fitness. Others might require coordination, problem solving, communication or teamwork. And some are included for one very good reason: They’re fun.
Not every child enjoys the same activities. Some love running. Some love lifting things. Some enjoy games and competition. Others prefer learning skills or working as part of a team. By using a mixed-activity format, our camps give children opportunities to engage with different challenges throughout the session. They don't need to be good at everything. They get to discover the things they enjoy — and have a go at some things they might not have tried before.
Our camps welcome children across a broad age range, with activities adapted appropriately according to the ages and abilities of those taking part. Younger children and teenagers aren't expected to perform exactly the same tasks in exactly the same way. Activities can be adjusted through movement, distance, resistance, complexity, rules and challenge level, helping us keep different ages engaged appropriately. The aim is for everyone to participate — while still being challenged at a level that makes sense for them.
Your child doesn't need to already attend CSC. They don't need CrossFit experience. And they certainly don't need to be the sportiest child in their class. Kids Camps are open to different abilities and levels of experience, including children who may not normally take part in organised fitness or sport. The objective isn't to identify who is the best athlete. It's to give children somewhere positive to be active, participate and enjoy themselves.
Parents should be able to feel confident about who they're leaving their children with. Our youth activities are delivered by appropriately qualified coaches, with our youth coaching team Enhanced DBS cleared and Safeguarding trained. Activities are planned and supervised rather than children simply being given access to the gym and left to entertain themselves. We take the same professional approach to coaching young people during our camps that underpins our regular Kids and Teens programmes.
Develop physical confidence
Varied physical activity gives children opportunities to discover what their bodies can do. Running faster, balancing successfully, learning a new movement, completing a challenge or contributing to a team can all provide small experiences of achievement. Over time, those experiences can help develop coordination, physical literacy and confidence in movement. Children don’t need to be told they’re exercising. They can simply experience what it feels like to become more capable.
Kids Camps are social as well as physical. Games and team challenges give children opportunities to communicate, cooperate, solve problems and work alongside others.
We’re not pretending screens aren’t part of modern childhood. But a few hours spent running around, learning skills, playing games and interacting with other children can provide a pretty good alternative.
There are plenty of physical benefits to being active. But if we want children to develop a positive relationship with exercise, enjoyment matters. If they leave asking when they can come back, we’ve done our job.
