My son said he had the best day ever - thank you.
Strive PE and Sports Camp made a big impression on our SEN child. The team were welcoming, patient and understanding. He loved the remote control car activity and came home full of excitement. We’d definitely love to return.
Great summer camp. Every day new activities, my 6 year old loves going. Came home happy and can't wait to go back tomorrow. Lovely friendly staff — highly recommend.
Club was fantastic. My son thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the kickboxing, and has already booked another 2 sessions!
Our boy came out at 4pm after a full day of activities and said he didn't want to leave and can he go back tomorrow! We've booked another session already!
