A rotating roster of active skills
Each week features a different core activity—scooting, skating, climbing and bouldering, circus skills and team games—built around a warm-up and a small scored challenge that contributes to a half-term competition.
Friendly scorekeeping and an end-of-term prize
Sessions record a small challenge score each week; at the end of the half term the winning school receives a certificate and a small prize.
Organised pickup and flexible arrival
The operator provides minibus pickup from Dunster School with 12 allocated seats on a first-come, first-served basis; families may alternatively deliver children to Minehead EYE and should arrive from 3:45pm if self-transporting.
