Where campers stay

Campers live in Bradfield's boarding houses around the main school buildings, in the Berkshire countryside. Bedrooms are a mix of single and shared rooms, and most bathrooms are shared; rooms are allocated by sport, age, gender and room-share requests (a particular room can't be guaranteed). The school has an LTA-approved tennis centre with three indoor acrylic courts plus outdoor clay and hard courts, a 9-hole golf course with a TrackMan 4 performance studio, two full-size indoor basketball courts, grass football pitches, a 25 m pool and a grand dining hall in the main school building.

Frequently asked questions

Can my child stay for two weeks?

Yes. Each camp week is 6 nights, arriving on a Monday and leaving on the Sunday, and any two consecutive weeks can be combined into a 13-night stay — campers stay on site over the middle weekend. The 2027 two-week price hasn't been published yet — in 2026 it was exactly double the one-week price. We'll confirm it when you enquire.

What's the difference between Total Dance and Dance + English?

The coaching is identical — up to 24 hours a week either way. Total Dance adds up to 8 hours a week of sport workshops (things like nutrition, teamwork, goal-setting and match analysis); Dance + English swaps those for up to 13 hours of English lessons built around the sport. If your child's English is still basic, the English option is the one we'd suggest.

How do we get there?

Fly into London Heathrow or Gatwick. The camp runs shared airport transfers on arrival and departure days as an optional extra — £140 on the 2027 price list, or £170 with the unaccompanied-minor service, booked after registration. Flights aren't included.

Who looks after the kids?

Welfare staff are on site 24/7 alongside the coaches, there's on-site medical care, and travel insurance is included in the price.
