Summer Holiday Sports Camps

Welcome

Bryanston offers a full programme of Day and Residential Sports Camps running throughout the year. Set within 400 acres of beautiful Dorset countryside, our extensive grounds provide a beautiful backdrop for our holiday sports courses.

With superb indoor and outdoor facilities across a wide range of sports, Bryanston offers an exceptional environment where children can develop their skills, build confidence and form lasting friendships while enjoying their favourite activities.

Whether attending for a day or staying residentially, your child will benefit from a stimulating, supportive and wellstructured programme.

We maintain a low child-to-coach ratio across all holiday sports camps, allowing for personalised coaching and outstanding technical development. Children attending our camps are provided with hot, nutritious meals each day in our dining hall, ensuring they are well fuelled for an active and enjoyable experience.

Bryanston Matrons'

Residential Camps

Performance Residential Sports Camps

Performance Residential Sports Camps give children the opportunity to access outstanding coaching from Bryanston teaching staff within a focused, highquality sporting environment, while also experiencing the very best of boarding life.

Our experienced and welcoming boarding team is in place to ensure every child feels safe, supported and at home throughout their stay. All boarding staff are Bryanston Matrons who care for pupils during term time and bring a wealth of experience in pastoral care.

For children staying for the full duration of the camps, families are invited to drop off belongings at the allocated boarding house on the morning the camp begins. This provides time to meet the boarding team, view the accommodation and help your child settle in comfortably before their sporting programme starts. Once settled, children are free to head off and enjoy their first day of sport.

At the end of each day’s training, children are met by one of the Matrons and return to their boarding house for showers and some in-house downtime before supper.

Each evening concludes with a programme of supervised activities, designed to be relaxed, sociable and fun.

Evening activities may include:

• Fun swimming sessions

• Water polo

• Bouldering

• Table tennis

• Sports quiz

• BBQ Hut

• Indoor or outdoor movie nights with treats from the Café

• Rounders

• Treasure hunts

• Orienteering

• Games night

• Karaoke or disco

• Tunnels

These evenings give children the opportunity to unwind after a full day of sport, make new friends and enjoy a Bryanston boarding experience.
