SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – March 27, 2024US Sports Camps (“USSC”), the official provider of Nike Sports Camps and a portfolio brand of the leading youth activities platform Youth Enrichment Brands (“YEB”), today announced its acquisition of CMT Learning, the UK’s premier specialists in youth sports and education experiences with a portfolio of brands including Euro Sports Camps, Sports Tours Europe and Charterhouse Summer School.

This strategic move significantly elevates our growing Camps division. With over 5,500 campers expected in 2024, CMT Learning brings a global reach and a track record of excellence in growing sport while delivering best-in-class experiences for aspiring athletes and students with key, globally recognized partners including Nike, Liverpool F.C., Chelsea F.C., and more.

The acquisition ensures the continuity of CMT Learning's existing operations and leadership team while simultaneously giving the organization access to vast resources and support as the latest addition to the YEB Camps’ division.

“After much collaboration over the years with Euro Sports Camps as our European counterpart in with Nike Sports Camps and as a Liverpool native myself, I’ve seen firsthand the best-in-class work that CMT Learning is known for,” said Brendan Doyle, USSC President and head of the YEB Camps division. “Their commitment to excellence and innovation aligns perfectly with the values of our growing enterprise at US Sports Camps, and we are excited to build upon their legacy of providing exceptional experiences for young people around the world while showcasing UK’s finest academic institutions.”

As Europe’s licensed operator of Nike Sports Camps, CMT Learning’s Euro Sports Camps has much in common with USSC. Catering worldwide to kids ranging from 8 to 17 years old, Euro Sports Camps offers both sports camps as well as sports and English language camps, including all overnight camps for the English Premier League’s Liverpool F.C. and Chelsea F.C. plus Nike-branded, sport-specific camps in tennis, field hockey, basketball, golf and dance.

CMT Learning’s Nike ties continue with Sports Tours Europe, offering customized Nike sports tours for teams, schools and groups visiting the UK or traveling from the UK to other parts of Europe and the United States. CMT Learning is also fortunate to call many of the UK’s finest academic institutions partners, including Charterhouse School, Bradfield College, Radley College, Lancing College and Repton School.

“We’ve loved watching US Sports Camps’ growth over the course of the past several years, and for that progress to culminate in marrying our two like-minded enterprises is a huge victory and honor for us,” said Chris Trembath, Founder of CMT Learning. “We look forward to integrating with USSC and to becoming a key player in YEB's commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences for youth activities worldwide.”

As a result of the acquisition, Chris Trembath, Dale Hobson and other CMT leadership now report to USSC’s Doyle as head of the YEB Camps Division.
