Meet the team behind Sports Camps NE.
At Sports Camps NE, we believe children develop physically, socially and emotionally through structured activities and fun games.
Our aim is simple: every child should have the opportunity to meet new friends, play a range of sports, be creative and have an enjoyable experience in a safe and secure environment.
Your child will have a memorable time they will never forget.
Every child welcome, every ability celebrated.
DBS checked staff who love working with children.
Never a dull moment from 9:45am to 3:00pm.
Carefully selected venues with robust safeguarding.
Sports Camps NE was founded by Matthew Lawn. At the age of 22, Matt gained invaluable experience coaching young children in America. In 2008 he brought that passion back home to the North East of England.
Since then, he has worked with over 5,000 children through his role as Head of PE and Sport at an outstanding primary school and through his award-winning Football Squirts classes.
Sports Camps NE is the natural extension of that work. The same ethos, the same passion, the same commitment to giving every child an unforgettable experience.
