A day at the water park
The day everyone wants one more slide.
Waterpark day is for slides, splashes and friends who want to go round again. We set aside a separate day for the trip.
CRETE, GREECE · SUMMER 2027
Into the sea.
Then explore Crete.
Goggles on, buoy ready, first strokes in clear water. Then it’s pool time, stadium workouts and team games. Separate excursion days take us to waterslides, boat trips and a trail to a waterfall.
Open water
The sea is our swimming lane.
We practise sighting towards shore and buoys, holding a course, pacing and breathing rhythm. We introduce drafting: swimming behind another participant and moving with a group.
- Sighting and direction
- Breathing rhythm
- Drafting and group skills
- Pacing and endurance
Pool
Pool time. First strokes or a new level.
We work on body position, stroke, breathing and coordination. Drills help swimmers feel each movement; full swimming brings the parts together. Some get comfortable in water, others refine their technique.
- Stroke technique
- Body position
- Arm and leg coordination
- Tasks matched to ability
Stadium & conditioning
The whole team at the stadium.
We develop strength, agility, mobility and coordination. Land exercises alternate with tennis, basketball, volleyball and football. Volume and difficulty suit each child's capabilities.
- General conditioning
- Strength and coordination
- Mobility
- Team games
A look at camp in action
Adventure days in Crete
Submarine-style boat trip
From a sightseeing vessel with underwater windows, we explore the seabed and its inhabitants. A closer look at Crete's underwater world.
Excursions take place on separate days. All programme excursions are included in the 1–10 July sports intensive. For other sessions, the itinerary and participation terms are agreed before booking. Trips depend on the weather.
SPINALONGA / CRETE
By boat to Spinalonga
The sea along the way, stone lanes on the island and a walk with the whole crew. A day for exploring and making memories together.
Boat boarding point
RICHTIS / CRETE
To Richtis waterfall
We follow the trail through rocks and greenery, help each other along the way and reach the waterfall. Then it is time for cool water and a group photo to remember the day.

Something new
every day.
Training, sea, town and time with friends. Each day has a familiar rhythm, with separate days for bigger trips.
An example day. The schedule varies with the session, weather and group needs.- Morning
Breakfast and the first session
After breakfast we meet the coaches and head to swimming. Training content and intensity depend on the session, age and ability of the group.
- Midday
Lunch around one table
We sit down together for an unhurried lunch. Children take turns setting the table and tidying up, learning to look after themselves and the group.
- 14:30–16:00
A proper afternoon rest
During the hottest hours we rest somewhere cool. A nap, a book or some quiet time helps everyone recharge.
- After 16:00
Pool time and games
We meet by the pool to swim, play and spend time with coaches and counsellors.
- Late afternoon
Stadium, bars and team games
Land training and games, with the intensity adapted to the session and how the group is feeling.
- Evening
Dinner, then a walk
We walk a lot: along the waterfront, around the lake and through Agios Nikolaos. After dinner there is time for friends, conversations and discovering the town.
