My Top Summer Camp picks in the local area

Summer camps for kids, Pooja's picks

Disclaimer: There are some camps my eldest son has been to and others are just a handpicked selection. I take no responsibility for whether it is good or not. Where possible I will give you my honest opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion! Good Luck finding the right one!
Please note: All information is as per the camp's websites

My advice: If you tried one and your child loved it, no point deviating & lastly, try and co ordinate with friends to make it more fun, also makes it easier to drops and pick up's and share the load!

Elms Tennis Camp - Stanmore, Hatch End, Watford, Bushey, Ruislip
Age Groups: 4-12 year olds
Type: Some are Tennis and Football, others offer more
There are many more locations other than the ones listed below, but these are local picks:
Pooja's opinion: The Stanmore camp is okay, although mainly tennis focussed, when my son went he was only 4 years old so didn't enjoy it. He went earlier this year for half a day and thought that was enough. Test it out for half a day and take it from there! I think the Hatch end one does more, so perhaps you can try both!
