The departure list will be posted two days before the planned departure date, with departure times for all children concerned. Departure times are calculated according to the transport time from the centre to the departure point and the check-in time for your child’s train/plane.
If your child believes that a mistake has been made regarding their departure time, they should inform an Administrator who will check their ticket and make any necessary changes.

On the day of departure, your child must pack all his/her belongings and be ready for the departure time that has been communicated to him/her.

They will then be taken to their airport or Eurostar station by taxi, minibus, coach or, in some cases, public transport.

The staff-to-child ratio is 1 to 4, ensuring excellent supervision.

The teams are all enthusiastic, motivated, and professional. Before working for the Arsenal camp, all staff members must undergo a DBS Check (a background and criminal record check conducted by a non-ministerial public organization). They must also receive training in first aid, pastoral care, and be familiar with hygiene and safety procedures. The sports coaches are fully qualified, have extensive experience, or are former players in the sport they teach. The English teachers all hold a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate.

Additionally, all staff members live on-site, ensuring continuous supervision of the children 24/7, both on and off-site. Some centers are also equipped with CCTV. The staff’s accommodations are adjacent to those of the children. Anyone attempting to leave the center at night, risking their safety and that of others, will be immediately dismissed.

An emergency contact number will be provided to you before the start of the camp so that you can communicate with your child.

Most participants come to the camp without their friends and family. Children who are attending the camp alone will be grouped with other players of the same age who are also attending alone. The first session of each course is designed to help all individual players integrate into a team and make new friends.

If necessary, medical assistants and first-aiders may administer over-the-counter medications (such as paracetamol) to your child unless you have provided written instructions to the contrary.

All campuses are located near a medical center, and they will arrange an appointment with a doctor if necessary.

If you would like your child to share a room with a friend or family member, please indicate this during your online booking and at least 4 weeks before the start of the camp. Please note that we cannot guarantee all requests, and sometimes you may need to make the request again in person on the first day of the camp.

It’s always better to remind us that your child will celebrate their birthday during the camp. They can celebrate it with their new friends with a birthday cake.

If you want to send a letter or a package to your child during their stay, you will find the address of the campus on the document we will provide you with a few days before the start of the camp.

Every evening, there is a diverse entertainment program in which both children and youth leader participate. These activities allow everyone to get to know each other better while having fun.

Some examples of entertainment include quiz night, movie night, game night, karaoke, and disco.

All children must be in bed between 9:30 PM and 11:00 PM, depending on their age.

If your child wishes to bring valuable items to the camp, such as iPods, tablets, phones, cameras, etc., we recommend that they hand them over to the center director or center administrator upon arrival for safekeeping.

The camp takes no responsibility in case of loss or theft of valuable items.

If your child is staying for one week, they should bring approximately 7 days’ worth of clothing, as there will NOT be a laundry service.

If your child is staying for more than one week, a free laundry service will be provided at the end of each week. Clothing will be collected, washed, dried, and returned approximately 2 days later, provided that they are labeled with your child’s name.

We recommend bringing a small amount of pocket money for souvenirs, snacks, and occasional purchases. Children staying for more than one week will participate in at least two excursions and will also enjoy an evening entertainment program, which may be off-site for older age groups.

However, we ask that you do not provide excessive amounts of money, and do not give euros or other currencies as there is no currency exchange available. All pocket money should be in British Pounds Sterling.

We recommend between 50 and 100 British Pounds Sterling.

Yes, all passports, tickets, and pocket money will be kept by the center manager or center administrator for added security.

Visa requirements can change frequently. Please contact your local British embassy for the most up-to-date information regarding travel to England.

Two weeks before your child arrives at the camp, they will need to take an online English assessment to accurately evaluate their English proficiency level before the camp begins. This will help in forming groups effectively.

When you choose the transfer option, players are greeted in the arrivals hall by a camp representative. Camp staff will wait if other players arrive at similar times before taking them all to their accommodation. For their return journey, players will be checked in and escorted through security in time for their flight. Staff will remain at the airport or train station until all flights or trains have departed. Players will be supervised continuously by a camp staff member before security checks for departures and after security checks for arrivals.

Due to the high volume of passengers at airports during the summer, buses and minibusses are sometimes delayed on their way to reach terminal meeting points. This is unfortunately beyond our control.
