Camp Manager - Summer West Midlands

Camp Managers are our on‑site representatives responsible for delivering a safe, high‑quality, Kings Camps experience for children aged 5 to 17 during school holidays. Reporting to the Regional Manager, they lead coaching staff and act as the first point of contact for children, parents and the host venue. Camp Managers serve as on‑site safeguarding representatives and collaborate with the Head Office Team for support and escalation.

They implement policies consistently, communicate openly, mitigate risk promptly, and set the standard for team preparation, timetabling and performance development. They also shape the tone and culture of the camp, engaging children with energy, fun and enthusiasm while exemplifying the Kings Factor.

Kings Camps run sports and activity day camps for children throughout the school holidays, delivering our mission of getting children active, having fun and learning together. We know that market‑leading programmes alone don’t create memorable holiday experiences – it is our people who make it happen. Founded in 1991, we were inspired by US‑style summer camps and introduced a model that allows more children across the UK and overseas to experience school‑holiday camps.

Our coaches, known as Red Tops, deliver high‑quality sports camps with energy, passion and a commitment to child development – what we call the Kings Factor®.
