During the Whitsun Week half term break, The Bugs Group ran a number of kids holiday camp across Solihull and Birmingham. The FootieBugs, DanceBugs and MultiBugs camps provided children with lots of fun and sporting activities and also the chance to make new friends!
The FootieBugs camp ran at Light Hall School in Shirley, Solihull and offered a whole host of different football activities and games. Children on the camp not only worked on improving their own technical football skills, but also played some of their favourite football-based games such as the crossbar challenge and penalty shootouts! With the Champions League final being played the day after the camp finished, the theme of the camp was to make all children feel like champions and the final day of the camp was competition day, where children were split into teams and competed in games to earn points for their team, with the winners receiving special prizes and awards! All children who attended the competition day also went home with certificates.
Also running at the same venue as FootieBugs was our DanceBugs camp. The DanceBugs camp theme was different dance styles, where the children on the camp were able to explore a range of dance styles, including some they may never have performed before. A parent commented “My daughter has attended today. She has had a brilliant time and can’t wait to come again soon”. On the final day of the camp, the kids performed the routine they had been working on throughout the week to their parents. The performance was fantastic and all the children were awarded with rosettes and certificates in a special ceremony afterwards.
Our MultiBugs holiday camp ran at Four Dwellings Academy in Quinton, Harborne and offered over 30 different sporting games and activities. Some of the sports the children played ranged from Football, Athletics, Dodgeball, Cricket and many more! This meant that children could not only play their favourite sports, but also gain experiences of new ones they haven’t tried before. One parent said “My two children (aged 6 and 8) had an amazing time at the Multi-Sports Camp. All the staff were really enthusiastic and the activities were great fun apparently! Well done Bugs team!”
The final camp was our Dorridge holiday camp, held at Dorridge Primary School only for pupils at the school. The camp combined a variety of Football, Multi-Sports and Dance activities throughout the week and all the children had a great time! We are looking forward to continuing to run our Dorridge Holiday Camp with the school throughout the holidays for the next year, including our special June 8th Election Day Camp!
