Summer Camps to Support Families and Inspire Young Footballers
This summer, families struggling to navigate the complexities of childcare will find relief through the return of Kellogg's Football Camps, offering thousands of free spots across the UK. As the school holidays approach, these camps ensure that children can engage actively, learn new skills, and make lasting friendships.
A Solution for Families
After the success of delivering over 80,000 camp days last summer, Kellogg's Football Camps are back for their third consecutive year. In partnership with the English Football League, Manchester City, Celtic FC, and Rangers FC, they will provide over 39,000 free spots for children aged five to 15. This initiative aims to support families during the challenging summer months when many parents report feeling overwhelmed by the need to balance work and childcare obligations.
Encouraging Active Lifestyles
The camps will commence on June 27 and take place at various clubs, including Grimsby Town and Hull City. Coaches who are qualified by the Football Association will lead sessions designed to inspire a love for football while providing children with an opportunity to step away from screens and engage in physical activity. Last year, these camps were able to deliver over 16,000 hours of coaching.
Community Impact
Kellogg's UK general manager Dean O’Brien expressed pride in the initiative, which aims to make sports accessible to all families, especially those who might otherwise miss out. This sentiment is echoed by Debbie Cook, EFL director of community, who noted that the camps not only keep children entertained but also foster community ties and support local families during a hectic season.
Parents interested in enrolling their children can easily sign up by purchasing a participating Kellogg’s cereal box and scanning the on-pack QR code or visiting kelloggsfc.com. This summer, the return of these camps promises to deliver not only skills in football but also a sense of community and support for families navigating the holiday season.
