International camp returns to Devon in 2011

The John Davies international summer camp will take place in Bideford, Devon, in August 2011 as the Western Area once again links up with Team Bath and hosts Kingsley School.

The camp, which launched in 2010, will run from Saturday 13 to Saturday 20 August and is open to boys and girls aged 12 to 19 years.

Lead coaches Sandra Klinger, Simon Ward and Eric Zymna will be joined by guest coach Jurgen Klinger, Team Bath’s high performance coach.

After taking part in the 2010 camp an English cadet international said: “I had an amazing week and experience, I can’t wait until till next year’s camp”.

A junior British international said: “The camp was outstanding and ran an excellent full training programme, without doubt the best in this area ever.”

Co-organiser and coach Simon Ward was very impressed with how the inaugural camp unfolded.

“The success of the 2010 camp was down to the group we had, they all bonded so well and nobody was left out,” said Ward who is working with Sandra Klinger to develop the 2011 structure.

“We had some great judo training which mixed so well with the afternoon sporting sessions such as rope climbing, spinning and many other activities. We had a good balance of hard training and fun things with good living areas with our own cinema, food and transport to visit to take trips off site.

“It was great first camp and this year we are hoping to attract more athletes from Europe and hopefully the national squads.”

The camp costs £230 for an early booking before May or £270 after that date. Discount to coaches with large parties and day-by-day training is available on request.
