My two kids love Healthy kids. Every year we send them and they come back ao enthused. The coaches are fantastic and when I pick my child up and hear them call his name I think it is great. They take time with the kids and get to know them. The skills they have gained have impacted their general sports activities. Last year my son said if he had to choose Healthy Kidz or Cul Camp .. it would be Healthy Kidz. Well done to all involved.

Seth had an absolute ball at the Oxford sunnyside Easter camp. As always he enjoys all the healthy kidz activities after schools, camps etc, but the Easter camp he said was he favourite as it was mostly football and he’s football mad.
