HAF holiday activities for Summer 2026

The Jewish Federation

We will provide play camps, based at Heathlands Village in Prestwich.

These will will comprise of the following:

Sports and physical exercise sessions including an intergenerational sports event with older people living as residents at Heathlands Village
Arts, crafts, and baking including as focus on nutrition and healthy eating.
A nature walk, gardening, tending our sensory garden with herbs
Several day trips out to local attractions and parks, soft play as well as the zoo
A cycling event on-site and a trip to a local cycling track
Baking Challah bread and making Challah bread boxes
A drive-in cinema afternoon – where the children will make ‘cars’ from cardboard boxes and then sit in them to eat popcorn and watch a movie
Plenty of free play with other children including circus skills, animal therapy

Accessible, free transport will be provided to enable children and young people to attend and get home. We will offer 8 children from Bury a place on our playscheme. The children will be aged 4-15 years old.

Children will undertake health and fitness activities for at least one hour a day. The activities will include cycling proficiency skills, sports day, physical games, and lots of outside play. The sessions will be offered to children in Bury living with complex disabilities and social care needs.

The sessions will take place in at Heathlands Village, which is a bright modern building with specialist play equipment and adaptations for disabled children as well as toys and books. There is an outdoor play area.

The majority of the children who will attend the groups will have a limited social life due to their health conditions. They may require one to one support in a calm and well-staffed environment.

We know from talking to children themselves and their families that they love coming to the camps and value the chance to play with friends their own age and try new experiences. The cohort of disabled children currently supported are maturing and require highly complex support packages to allow them to participate in Jewish cultural/social life.

Our staff ratios (sometimes two to one) have increased so we can remain accessible. There is no provision locally that caters for Jewish children with complex disabilities from across the spectrum of religious observance.

Our project is open to all Jewish children in the community, whether religious or not.

Our staff are trained and experienced at providing specialist care to this cohort of children. All staff undergo an enhanced DBS check and regular training.

We will undertake cooking with the children and encourage children to participate in meal preparation. Many of the activities we will offer are focused on building children’s confidence and social skills as many struggle to socialise. We will offer exercises and activities that build up children’s self-esteem and will provide plenty of praise and feedback and have as much fun as possible.

We are offering daily sessions of at least 8 hours that combine drama, movement, storytelling and creative arts in a fun, inclusive and professional environment.

Each day children will take part in structured performing arts activities, crafting for their end of week show and this is designed to build confidence, develop communication skills and try new experiences - from improvisation and character work to voice, physical theatre and collaborative storytelling. Sessions will incorporate at least 60 minutes of physical activity through warm-ups, movement and performance-based exercises.

A hot, nutritious meal will be provided every day, alongside informal education around healthy eating and healthy lifestyles woven into the programme.

We are committed to welcoming children from all backgrounds and cultures across Bury, Prestwich, Crumpsall and all over Greater Manchester, including those who have never had the opportunity to explore the performing arts before.

DANCE COURSE - PROJECT DANCE

This is a dance specific programme that will train the participants in contemporary and commercial dance in a variety of categories such as teams, solo routines and duos.

Our aims are to improve the mental and physical health of children and young people, through dance as physical activity in disadvantaged communities and to also give them the confidence, skills and opportunities.

Benefits of Dance - Dance builds physical fitness and improves coordination, strength, and flexibility. Teamwork skills, problem solving, and discipline are developed through the practice needed to master dance routines. Cooperation, trust, and sensitivity are developed through creative dance, lifts, and partner work.

Performing is the vital key element to the process and builds confidence, self-worth and a sense of achievement and aspiration. We aim to motivate young people to live a healthier lifestyle whilst also instil the confidence to allow them to perform and express themselves in a safe environment.

Through this programme we aim to take complete novice dancers and teach them the skills to be at a level to perform confidently in dance.

Social activities for children/young people with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), for primary and secondary aged children. A variety of activities that are inclusive for a broad range of disabilities and needs. Depending on the venue size and capacity, we aim to keep the activities to smaller group sizes to ensure that it is manageable for our children of whom many have sensory processing difficulties.

All of our activities will be exclusively booked so that our families feel as comfortable as possible. Bee Inclusive acts as the booking agent for the activities and generally uses external providers. Due to the varying complexities of the children/young people's needs, at all our activities a parent/carer must stay to supervise their child/young person. This supports peer-peer support between parents/carers and helps promote a network of support and friendship for children/young people.

To meet the needs of the children/young people and to ensure a quality accessible offer, our activities are located in a variety of locations across Bury and the surrounding area.

Several activities are available at 5 different venues.

Venue 1 Ski slope

Tubing at the Ski Slope - Rossendale Ski Slope. The activity itself is 50 minutes tubing in a tyre down the ski slope. Our total session time is 2 hours, as children/young people who are wet will need to change in the facilities before joining children in the party room for lunch and a further opportunity to socialise. The minimum age is 5, so suitable for primary and secondary ages.

The activity is quite strenuous. A travelator takes the children/young people up to the top of the Ski Slope. The activity can include children with physical needs so long as they can transfer to the tyre at the top (with support from parent/carers).

A cold food option from Bury Council Catering will be provided. There is a party room where children can stay to eat their lunch and socialise.

DANCE COURSE - PROJECT DANCE

This is a dance specific programme that will train the participants in contemporary and commercial dance in a variety of categories such as teams, solo routines and duos.

Our aims are to improve the mental and physical health of children and young people, through dance as physical activity in disadvantaged communities and to also give them the confidence, skills and opportunities.

Benefits of Dance - Dance builds physical fitness and improves coordination, strength, and flexibility. Teamwork skills, problem solving, and discipline are developed through the practice needed to master dance routines. Cooperation, trust, and sensitivity are developed through creative dance, lifts, and partner work.

Performing is the vital key element to the process and builds confidence, self-worth and a sense of achievement and aspiration. We aim to motivate young people to live a healthier lifestyle whilst also instil the confidence to allow them to perform and express themselves in a safe environment.

Through this programme we aim to take complete novice dancers and teach them the skills to be at a level to perform confidently in dance.
