TayPlay Activity Camps (Houghton)
School holiday multi-activity camps for children aged five to eleven, held at Houghton Sports & Wellness Centre with full-week and single-day bookings.
About TayPlay Activity Camps (Houghton)
TayPlay runs school holiday camps at leisure centres across the UK, and in Sunderland it has used Houghton Sports & Wellness Centre on Station Road and the Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis & Wellness Centre. Its summer 2026 camp at Houghton ran for five weeks from 27 July to 28 August, from 9.30am to 4.30pm each weekday, with early drop-off from 8.30am and late pick-up until 5.30pm available at an extra charge.
The camps are for children aged five to eleven and mix sport with other activities, with children grouped by age and given some choice over what they do. TayPlay lists sports, arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, swimming and performing arts among the options, and runs a separate Young Leaders camp for older children. Places can be booked by the day or by the week through the online booking system.
