What the day feels like

What a day feels like

Mornings begin at The Hub beside the river with kit and briefings; the day alternates between water sessions on boards and kayaks and land-based skills like archery and bushcraft, with a break for lunch and time to change and dry off. Activity rotations mean children can attend multiple days and still experience something different each time.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this Holiday Club suits — and who it doesn’t

1
Active familiesIdeal for children who enjoy outdoor, hands‑on activity and water sports; the day mixes physical challenges and skills training appropriate for 8–14 year olds.
2
Working parentsBuilt to cover weekday school breaks, the programme provides a full day (9am–3:30pm) of supervised activities so parents can work while children are engaged.
3
Repeat attendeesA good fit for children who will attend multiple days — each day features different activities so repeat visits still offer new experiences.
4
Younger or older childrenNot suitable for children outside the 8–14 age band; the programme and safety measures are tailored specifically to that range.
