Passport to Leisure is a family-run summer camp with over 40 years of experience creating brilliant holidays for children. We’re proud to be a true community camp — many of our activity leaders and support helpers first came to Passport to Leisure as campers themselves, and now return to help the next generation have the same unforgettable week.
Across a fun, active programme, children try a wide range of sports and team challenges in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Sessions are run by experienced teachers and coaches, with children working in small age-based groups so everyone feels supported, included, and confident to get involved — whether they’re sporty, brand new to activities, or somewhere in between.
Crafty Sport
Crafty Sport is the perfect blend of high-energy sport and hands-on creativity, designed to keep children engaged, active and smiling all day long. Mornings are packed with outdoor sporting activities (with a refreshment break), and after lunch the focus shifts to craft and creativity — with every child taking their creations home at the end of each day.
Led by an experienced teacher (20+ years), Crafty Sport encourages participation, confidence and a real sense of achievement in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Children work in small, age-appropriate groups (rising 5–7s), and each day finishes with a mini tournament or fun party game — a brilliant way to end a summer day.
Based at the Barn Elms School Sports Centre in Barnes, we make the most of first-class outdoor space and facilities — ideal for active days, new friendships, and the sort of summer memories that last for years.
Programme & Information
Our week-long programme is designed to introduce children to a variety of sports and activities, helping them build skills, confidence and friendships as they go.
