During Summer of 2021 we delivered school holiday 'Summer Camps' at multiple locations all over Tower Hamlets. Our camps consist of two 3-hour sessions per day, four days a week for the duration of 4 weeks, throughout July-August.
The sessions were spread around 14 local sights to make it accessible to multiple people across the borough. Providing completely free of charge sports activities from our fun and friendly coaches during the school holidays period.
Our trained coaches and volunteers led sports sessions that not only engaged the kids in sports, group activities and fun games but also got them outside to be active and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Equally, the athletes gained many amazing skills by attending and engaging, such as social skills, teamwork, creativity, communication, health, wellbeing, and leadership skills. We know that we all made amazing and lasting memories, with the Summer Camps being the highlight of all our summers.
We are fortunate enough to be able to provide healthy lunches and distributed raw ingredients to all parents/guardians at the end of each session to promote healthy eating. This is a key aspect of all our camps but more importantly life in general. We promote health eating through the the nutritional workshops that we hold during the Summer Camps.
Wapping Summer Camps was a great success and there were loads of great outcomes from this project. We are looking forward to connecting with the community again while delivering our next Summer Camps in 2022.
Please check out our social media platforms where we show off loads of the amazing memories we made at our Summer Camps '21. Also, we have our highlight videos on Youtube, as well as our documentary!
