A brilliant School holiday, outdoors for kids 8+

Our School Holiday Clubs are active, confidence-building days outside, designed for children who love to move, explore, make friends, and come home happily tired. We run holiday clubs at our site in Doddinghurst, Essex, across the Easter and summer holidays, with a mix of direct booking places and funded places through HAF (Holiday Activities and Food).Expect: outdoor games, woodland skills, nature exploration, team challenges, campfire moments, and plenty of time to just be a kid outdoors. 

These are for children aged 8+

Who it’s for

 Let's Get Out Holiday Club is ideal for children who:

  • enjoy being outside (or need a gentle nudge to build confidence outdoors)
  • like practical, hands-on activities
  • benefit from movement, fresh air, and a calmer environment than “indoor all day”
  • want to make friends and feel part of a team
  • Aged 8+ years old

We welcome a wide range of needs and personalities. Our approach is supportive, inclusive, and child-led, with clear boundaries and kind adults.

 Every day has a simple rhythm so children feel safe and settled, while still keeping things exciting.

  • nature connection and exploration
  • practical outdoor skills (age-appropriate)
  • lunch and downtime
  • afternoon adventures (bushcraft, trails, problem-solving games)
  • end-of-day reflection and pick-up

Activities vary by age, weather, and group energy. We’ll always prioritise safety, fun, and belonging.
