Our programme is free for all school aged children (reception to Year 11), who are eligible for benefit related free school meals.
There’s a fantastic range of exciting indoor and outdoor activities to choose from.
There will also be a healthy meal on offer at every session attended, so no need to bring a packed lunch.
