Activ Camps provide that great balance between responsible care and enormous fun for the kids. Such a relief to have my son active from dawn to dusk and I didn’t have to wrestle him off a computer screen

Emanuel School provides first-class sporting facilities in a venue situated in the heart of London. Activ Camps operates out of the school’s impressive sports centre and we have the use of extensive playing fields, an indoor rock wall, a swimming pool, fives and tennis courts, a fitness suite and activity rooms.
In 2023 (likely summer), the swimming pool at Emanuel School will be undergoing renovations of its roof. This will require a prolonged closure of the pool, therefore we cannot promise swimming throughout the season. Once we have confirmation of this we will provide an update on this page.
This camp is very popular and fills to capacity, so early booking is recommended.
Please note that there is no vehicle access to the school site. There is parking available for parents along Spencer Park, very close to the school entrance.

Facilities & Swimming
Swimming:
This activity is available subject to the availability of the swimming pool on site.
Whilst we aim to run sessions daily, due to our safety policies, not every group on camps swims each day.
If swimming is unavailable we will always continue to provide a wonderfully wide range of activities.
In 2023 (likely summer), the swimming pool at Emanuel School will be undergoing renovations of its roof. This will require a prolonged closure of the pool, therefore we cannot promise swimming throughout the season. Once we have confirmation of this we will provide an update on this page.
Facility Updates:
We will add any updates to the availability of facilities here.
Groupings
If you would like your child to be with a friend, please be aware that grouping requests must be made at sign in.
Since groups are created daily, please ensure to repeat your request each morning to the staff on site. Please note that due to the complex nature of groupings we cannot always accommodate every grouping request.
If you are arriving later than 09:15am it will be very unlikely that we can accommodate your grouping request as groups may already be full.
Lost Property
Please ensure you check that your child has all of their belongings before leaving the premises.
Lost property is collected and placed on a table next to the sign-out desk every day. If you have lost an item, please ask a member of staff on camp to view our lost property.
If you are not returning to the site again, please call the site phone number found under ‘Camp Contact Details’ to check if your item has been found.
We ask that all lost property be collected from the site before the final Friday of the camp season.
Medication form: Your child(ren) will not be able to join if we do not have the correct, and in-date, medication for them.
Please complete the Medication Form in advance if you are bringing medication to camp

Epipen form: If your child is bringing an Auto-Adrenaline Injector (Epipen), then you will need to fill in a different form.
