Kids Holiday Camps in Glasgow
It’s here! The perfect way to keep the kids active, off screens and full of energy during the school holidays.
From trampolining and parkour to skateboarding, scootering and BMX, no two days at The Loading Bay Holiday Camps are ever the same. Action-packed, and full of movement, your kids will try a huge range of urban sports and activities while building confidence, independence and skills.
They’ll also make new friends and have a great time along the way!
All delivered in a safe and supportive environment by our experienced coaching team, our camps run throughout the school holidays, Monday to Friday, from 10am – 4pm and include lunch.
Only £45/day per child or £195/week per child. Suitable for age 6 and over.
What Happens at The Loading Bay Holiday Camps?
Every camp day begins with a big group warm-up session in our Trampoline and Parkour Room. Experience tells us that this is the perfect way for everyone to get to know each other and warm up for a full day of activities.
At 11am, activities move into the Skatepark where kids learn directly from our experienced coaches. From there, the day is packed with coached sessions, games, challenges and free-flowing activities including:
- BMX
- Skateboarding
- Scootering
- Parkour
- Trampolining
- Gymnastics-style movement sessions
- Group games and skill challenges
Kids are never forced into the Skatepark. If they prefer to stay in the Trampoline and Parkour area, they can continue learning tricks and developing skills there with support from our coaching team. This flexible approach helps every child feel included, comfortable and confident throughout the day.
The Loading Bay Approach to Urban Sports Coaching
We love urban sports, and we want your kids to love them too.
Our team helps children build skills step-by-step, offering guidance, encouragement and new ideas. Purposely created for mixed abilities, kids are encouraged to explore activities at their own pace. So, whether they’re stepping into a skatepark for the first time or building confidence in their chosen sport, they’ll have a great time learning, improving and having fun.
Why Parents Love Our Holiday Camps
The Loading Bay is a welcoming environment for kids of all abilities, and our qualified coaches aim to create a positive atmosphere where children are encouraged to try new things, support each other and – most importantly – enjoy themselves.
Parents also find that full days of active fun and confidence-building activities give their kids a chance to socialise away from screens, as they learn how to interact as part of a group.
What should my child bring?
Children should arrive wearing comfortable clothing suitable for movement and activities. Helmets are essential, and protective equipment can also be used – we trust parents to know how best to protect their own child.
If they have one, kids are encouraged to bring their own scooter, skateboard or BMX bike. If they’re just starting out, hire equipment is available, including helmets.
In addition, please let us know about any allergies, medical conditions or additional support needs before attending camp. Please ensure your child has everything they need to attend to these needs. Eg Inhaler / allergy medicines. You can let us know this as part of the waiver form process, after completing booking.
