About The King’s Foundation
King's Camps are run by The King’s Foundation Ltd: a registered Christian educational charity (1105460) that uses sport and activity to help children and young people to develop and mature into responsible members of society. King’s is passionate about child development and as well as organising the largest network of children’s camps in the UK, the King's Foundation works with children and young people in greatest need in both the UK and in the developing world. The King's Foundation has developed a network of sports and activity camps for disadvantaged children in Botswana and Uganda in Africa.
With over 15 years experience, King’s acts as an advisor to many other childcare related organisations such as the NHS, Social Services, Eurocamp, Keycamp and Cunard Line.
Our Ethos
The Rookie Sports Leadership Award is a specifically designed course that draws out the skills of young adults using competitive sports, challenging activities and enjoyable games. Leadership is a vital skill in many areas of life and business, and RSLP develops this skill in the context of sport where Rookies can have a great time together while learning at the same time.
We’ve designed this programme to be used as an award in it’s own right, or as a compliment to other schemes like the Duke of Edinburgh’s awards or the community sports leadership course.
Our Staff
King's staff teams are selected for their ability to deliver great coaching in an entertaining and enjoyable way. Our managers are qualified PE teachers with at least 2 years teaching experience while our coaches have national governing body qualifications in various sports and our swimming teachers are qualified with life-guard certification.
All King's Camps staff are interviewed, provide professional and personal references, and are checked with an enhanced disclosure. All senior staff are experienced teachers or instructors and attend our management Training and Development Programme. All of our coaches complete a comprehensive staff training programme that includes:
- Supervision of children
- Child protection
- First aid
- Fire procedures
- Equipment safety
We endeavour to employ staff that represent the different ethnic groupings of children attending the camps.
