Ethos Academy of Sport runs a three-day holiday sports camp for children aged 8 to 13, which uses sport to build character, confidence, leadership and life skills. It is not a childcare service. The camp's website says it is back at Whangaparāoa and Birkenhead this spring, and is going to Dilworth for the first time. Its camps are run in houses and teams, and there is an FAQ page and an online registration form.
Each day mixes a wide variety of sports and self-designed games, with team challenges. Sessions are led by qualified PE teachers and supported by senior student leaders, and each day ends with a reflection so that lessons from the field carry over. The camp focuses on six values: resilience, teamwork and communication, leadership and responsibility, courage, respect, and accountability. The four pillars of the camp include integrity, which is practised through self-officiated games where children are trusted to be honest about the rules. The website says the camp suits children who are willing to give new things a go, whether they are keen sportspeople or curious learners.
