Booking HAF Easter 2026 activities
Activities for our Easter 2026 provision start on Monday 6 April and run through to Friday 17 April.
Not all school holidays run at the same time so there are some activities available from Wednesday 25 March.
Booking for all activities is open from Monday 2 March 2026.
You will receive an email from hello@holidayactivities.com with a link to login, claim your voucher code and start booking activities.
If you’ve not received the email by Monday 2 March 2026, please speak to the school’s receptionist office.
How to book
If your child is eligible, you will be sent an email or text from 'Holiday Activities' explaining how to set up a 'Holiday Activities account', receive 'Holiday Activity vouchers' and use the 'Holiday Activity' booking system.
On your account, you will be able to see all available activities, dates and times, any age restrictions and suitability levels and book on to them using the voucher code.
Once an account has been created, parents or carers of eligible children will receive a 'Holiday Activities' code via text or email to use to book onto the sessions.
Each voucher code will equate to four, four-hour sessions, which will be displayed as four credits on your 'Holiday Activities' dashboard.
Haven't received a code?
If your child attends a Bury school and you do not receive a voucher code, please speak to the school office.
If your child attends a school outside of Bury, please contact the HAF team haf@bury.gov.uk and they will support with any queries.
Holiday club support - choosing activities for children with additional needs
In response to feedback, we have streamlined the booking process for the families of children with additional needs to make it clear what suitability support level is available at each holiday club.
So that you can choose activities with the most suitable support for your child, we have identified four key categories to clearly show the level of care that each of our holiday clubs can provide.
These range from Level 1 (mild needs, fairly independent), through to Level 4 (more severe needs, dedicated support needed).
About the four suitability support levels
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have mild needs, who are able to go to the toilet and eat their lunch with correct supervision but do not need direct support in doing so.
This level is suitable for children who do not present risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information that may affect your child's experience.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have moderate needs, those who may need direct support with personal care and may need one to one support with eating their lunch.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information and/or a copy of the child's personal care plan in advance of the session.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who are known to demonstrate risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
It would be expected that increased staffing numbers are a standard to accommodate the children's needs and requirements.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information and/or a copy of the child's personal care plan in advance of the session.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have moderate to severe needs, those who may need direct support with personal care and may need one to one support with eating their lunch.
These children and young people may also be known to demonstrate risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
Please let the activity provider know all relevant information and provide them with a copy of the child's EHCP plan in advance of the session.
SEND providers
Providers offering SEND accessible activities give clear guidance of their provision to ensure you are well informed as to the suitability of the activities.
Please ensure that you give the provider as much information as possible relating to the level of support and care your child will need to enable them to give the best possible experience to your child.
Our providers do their utmost to support children with SEND where possible.

Activities information
Azamrah Youth Club
Azamrah youth club focus on changing the lives of young people. We are committed to empowering and inspiring young people to unlock their true potential through our sport themed, creative, physical, recreational activities bringing about positive physical and mental health outcomes. We offer unconditional support and provide tangible opportunities to allow positive change in their lives through constructive, educational and stimulating social health and sports programs. We do this through the provision of:
- School holiday programmes during the summer, winter and Easter school holidays as well as all half terms reaching out to over 350 young people on each occasion
- After school sport themed workshops which have been very successful with a high level of demand and need proven
- After school / warm hub club with enriching activities offered including creative arts, woodwork
- A teen heART project where teens take part in creative arts after school hours
The programme will include a rich mix of creative, physical, educational, and life-skill activities. Creative enrichment may involve arts and crafts, painting, sculpture, music-making, dance, drama, and storytelling. These sessions allow children to explore their imagination, express emotions, and build confidence through performance and self-expression.
Life skills and wellbeing activities will be woven throughout the programme. Cooking and food-based sessions will teach practical skills such as meal preparation, budgeting, hygiene, and nutrition. Wellbeing sessions will focus on mindfulness, confidence-building, communication, and friendship skills, supporting children’s mental and emotional health.
We will ensure enrichment activities are inclusive and adaptable, ensuring children of all abilities and backgrounds can participate fully. Sessions will encourage choice, collaboration, and child-led learning, helping children develop independence, social skills, and a sense of achievement. Collectively, these enriching experiences will ensure the holiday club is not only enjoyable, but also purposeful, supportive, and impactful.

The Jewish Federation
We will provide play camps will be based in our children’s centre based in Prestwich. These will involve the following activities;
- 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
- A cycling event on-site and regular cycling activities
- Baking Challah bread and other baking activities
- 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 at our play camps. 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 our children’s centre which is a bright modern building with specialist play equipment and adaptations for disabled children as well as toys and books. There is safe, secure space for outdoor play.
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 centre 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.

Absolute
Absolute delivers high-quality Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes that provide inclusive, engaging and meaningful experiences for children of all abilities, including those with SEND. Our sessions combine physical activity, creativity and structured enrichment to ensure every child can access, enjoy and benefit from the programme.
At Absolute Futbol, we’re more than just sports coaches, we’re passionate about giving every child a place to belong, learn, and thrive during the school holidays. Our team has years of experience working in schools and the community, and we know what it takes to make a child’s day unforgettable, while supporting families and the wider community too.
Here’s what you can expect from our HAF delivery:
Every single day of our camp includes a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity, meeting and often exceeding CMO guidelines. But we don’t stop there. Our sessions are built around variety, enjoyment, and progress. Whether it’s team games, fun relays, dance, or skill-building drills, there’s something for everyone - no matter their ability or confidence level.
Children can also earn achievement awards, build their physical literacy, and explore long-term opportunities through our pathways into local clubs and grassroots sport.
Alongside sport and food, we give children space to explore, express, and discover.
- Activities are designed with input from the children, reflecting what they’ve enjoyed and asked for
- From STEM experiments to arts and crafts, LEGO building, and more - no two days are the same!
- We celebrate effort and resilience through small rewards and shoutouts
- Specialist enriching activities include: Laser Tag, Inflatables, Archery, Nerf Zone, Fencing, Ultimate Frisbee, Curling, Glow in The Dark Dodgeball and much more
- We will invite visitors like police officers, fire crews, and dental nurses to speak with the children - offering a fun way to learn about community roles and safety. These visits are always a hit (especially when toothbrushes and helmets are involved!)

Bee Inclusive
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.
It is important to note that Bee Inclusive is a voluntary led community interest company. We do not have a base level of paid staff in place to deliver, plan or administer the HAF offer. Therefore our current skeleton staff levels will be increased to facilitate this, which is reflected in the bid administration cost that will be required to facilitate the offer.
There are three different activities at three different venues.
Activity 1
This is a 2 hour activity of trampolining and soft play, catering for Primary and Secondary aged children/young people. This is an exclusive booking for children/young people with SEND only.
This means that our families will have the whole of Jump Xtreme to themselves, allowing plenty of space between families. Parent/carers can support children on the trampolines if their needs require it, and this builds on the offer of supporting family fun. Children can freely move between the soft play area, “That Fun Place” and the trampolining area, so they have a choice of activity. A cold food option from Bury Council Catering/Jump Xtreme will be provided.
- Venue 1: Jump Xtreme, Trinity Retail Park, Bradford Street, Springfield, Bolton, BL2 1HY

- Ages: 4 to 16

Activity 2

We are booking the first 3 floors of the arcade club which host a mix of games including physical, strategy, musical and consoles such as Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Parent/carers can play and support their children with the games. Children and families can move freely between the floors which provides plenty of space.

Activity 3
This is a 2 hour activity. Children make a pizza themselves with ‘Dough So Good’ pizza company. They then participate in a craft session painting pottery whilst they wait for their pizza to be cooked and then eat their pizza’s together. Bee Inclusive will supply the pots and paint.
This has historically been a very popular session due to its accessibility for wheelchair users and those with complex care needs. Tables are ‘rise and fall’, allowing wheelchair users to be involved fully. Painting is an activity that with help, most of our families with complex needs can join in with and enjoy together. The activity allows children/young people to learn cookery and craft skills.
This is an exclusive booking for children/young people with SEND only.

Radcliffe Alternative Provision
We are an alternative provision throughout term time, covering all key stages from key stage 1 through to 4. Providing support, reintegration, interventions and PSD – all individually based.
Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:

- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

We deliver 2 x 2 days programme of 4 hour activities including a healthy lunch for the 2 weeks of the Easter holidays. Each programme requires the use of 2 vouchers.
Each group would be limited to 8 due to health and safety in line with our Risk Assessment. Maximum of 1:4 for 11+. Our 2 staff are qualified teachers and equine specialists, and our volunteers over 16 mentors and previous attendees, all have full DBS.
We aim to raise standards, increase awareness, reduce loneliness and raise achievements in young people using natural science and its effects on the future stability of the local and wider environments.
This will include species protection, land and water management, growing and working towards sustainable living. We will do this by making action-focused fun sessions designed to support all of the above, whilst wrapping around self-actualization, resilience and enterprise skills.
This year we are also focusing our workshops on climate change, and this will promote sustainable gardening and protecting the environment using nature itself.
Working with the 5 horses and other animals will increase leadership skills, improve communication and teamwork.

Children can also earn achievement awards, build their physical literacy, and explore long-term opportunities through our pathways into local clubs and grassroots sport.
Alongside sport and food, we give children space to explore, express, and discover.

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

Bee Inclusive
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.
It is important to note that Bee Inclusive is a voluntary led community interest company. We do not have a base level of paid staff in place to deliver, plan or administer the HAF offer. Therefore our current skeleton staff levels will be increased to facilitate this, which is reflected in the bid administration cost that will be required to facilitate the offer.
There are three different activities at three different venues.
Activity 1
This is a 2 hour activity of trampolining and soft play, catering for Primary and Secondary aged children/young people. This is an exclusive booking for children/young people with SEND only.
This means that our families will have the whole of Jump Xtreme to themselves, allowing plenty of space between families. Parent/carers can support children on the trampolines if their needs require it, and this builds on the offer of supporting family fun. Children can freely move between the soft play area, “That Fun Place” and the trampolining area, so they have a choice of activity. A cold food option from Bury Council Catering/Jump Xtreme will be provided.
- Venue 1: Jump Xtreme, Trinity Retail Park, Bradford Street, Springfield, Bolton, BL2 1HY

Activity 3
This is a 2 hour activity. Children make a pizza themselves with ‘Dough So Good’ pizza company. They then participate in a craft session painting pottery whilst they wait for their pizza to be cooked and then eat their pizza’s together. Bee Inclusive will supply the pots and paint.
This has historically been a very popular session due to its accessibility for wheelchair users and those with complex care needs. Tables are ‘rise and fall’, allowing wheelchair users to be involved fully. Painting is an activity that with help, most of our families with complex needs can join in with and enjoy together. The activity allows children/young people to learn cookery and craft skills.

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

The Sunnywood Project
Meeting at The Sunnywood Hub in the Burrs Country Park, we'll board our minibus and venture off exploring the moors and various green spaces around the Bury area. The Sunnywood Project’s 'Youth Hikes' promote a love for the great outdoors and seek to encourage a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle for young people.
Suitable for ages 9 years and up, our adventure will cover a distance of approximately 4 miles over mixed terrain, providing time away from home to ‘reconnect’ with the outside world and reduce screen time.
We will break for a picnic lunch at a picturesque spot to admire the views and scenery.
Research suggests that spending time outdoors can help:
- Reduce our levels of stress
- Reduce fatigue
- Boost our immune system
- Reduce anxiety
- Encourage further physical activity
We believe this activity will be well-suited to those:
- Who may be experiencing low mood or low self-esteem
- Who want to make new friends or gain more social confidence
- Who want to be more physically active or spend time in nature and outdoors, but do not necessarily enjoy team sports
But, it will also be suitable for anyone who just wants to join us on an adventure!

Bee Inclusive
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.
It is important to note that Bee Inclusive is a voluntary led community interest company. We do not have a base level of paid staff in place to deliver, plan or administer the HAF offer. Therefore our current skeleton staff levels will be increased to facilitate this, which is reflected in the bid administration cost that will be required to facilitate the offer.
There are three different activities at three different venues.
Activity 1
This is a 2 hour activity of trampolining and soft play, catering for Primary and Secondary aged children/young people. This is an exclusive booking for children/young people with SEND only.
This means that our families will have the whole of Jump Xtreme to themselves, allowing plenty of space between families. Parent/carers can support children on the trampolines if their needs require it, and this builds on the offer of supporting family fun. Children can freely move between the soft play area, “That Fun Place” and the trampolining area, so they have a choice of activity. A cold food option from Bury Council Catering/Jump Xtreme will be provided.

This has historically been a very popular session due to its accessibility for wheelchair users and those with complex care needs. Tables are ‘rise and fall’, allowing wheelchair users to be involved fully. Painting is an activity that with help, most of our families with complex needs can join in with and enjoy together. The activity allows children/young people to learn cookery and craft skills.

Radcliffe Alternative Provision
We are an alternative provision throughout term time, covering all key stages from key stage 1 through to 4. Providing support, reintegration, interventions and PSD – all individually based.
Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

The Sunnywood Project
Meeting at The Sunnywood Hub in the Burrs Country Park, we'll board our minibus and venture off exploring the moors and various green spaces around the Bury area. The Sunnywood Project’s 'Youth Hikes' promote a love for the great outdoors and seek to encourage a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle for young people.
Suitable for ages 9 years and up, our adventure will cover a distance of approximately 4 miles over mixed terrain, providing time away from home to ‘reconnect’ with the outside world and reduce screen time.
We will break for a picnic lunch at a picturesque spot to admire the views and scenery.
Research suggests that spending time outdoors can help:
- Reduce our levels of stress
- Reduce fatigue
- Boost our immune system
- Reduce anxiety
- Encourage further physical activity
We believe this activity will be well-suited to those:
- Who may be experiencing low mood or low self-esteem
- Who want to make new friends or gain more social confidence
- Who want to be more physically active or spend time in nature and outdoors, but do not necessarily enjoy team sports
But, it will also be suitable for anyone who just wants to join us on an adventure!

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration. Using the unique facilities at Tottington United FC, children will split their day between structured outdoor activity, nature discovery, and team challenges, supported by warm indoor space for meals, workshops, and reflection.
This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.

The Sunnywood Project
Meeting at The Sunnywood Hub in the Burrs Country Park, we'll board our minibus and venture off exploring the moors and various green spaces around the Bury area. The Sunnywood Project’s 'Youth Hikes' promote a love for the great outdoors and seek to encourage a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle for young people.
Suitable for ages 9 years and up, our adventure will cover a distance of approximately 4 miles over mixed terrain, providing time away from home to ‘reconnect’ with the outside world and reduce screen time.
We will break for a picnic lunch at a picturesque spot to admire the views and scenery.
Research suggests that spending time outdoors can help:
- Reduce our levels of stress
- Reduce fatigue
- Boost our immune system
- Reduce anxiety
- Encourage further physical activity
We believe this activity will be well-suited to those:
- Who may be experiencing low mood or low self-esteem
- Who want to make new friends or gain more social confidence
- Who want to be more physically active or spend time in nature and outdoors, but do not necessarily enjoy team sports
But, it will also be suitable for anyone who just wants to join us on an adventure!

Radcliffe Cricket Club - Programme Overview
Active Science is a structured Spring HAF programme for children in the Radcliffe area that delivers two clear strands each day:
- Multi Sports & Physical Activity
- Hands On Science Experiments
Rather than blending the two topics together, children take part in separate, clearly defined sport sessions and science experiment workshops, giving variety, routine, and strong engagement for different interests and learning styles.
This format is not widely offered locally and provides a balanced alternative to sport only or classroom based holiday provision.
Tottington Conservice Club - Programme Overview
Wild Active Explorers is an outdoor-focused Spring HAF programme built around forest-school style learning, outdoor sport, and nature-based exploration.

This programme offers a clear alternative to traditional sports camps and indoor HAF provision and is particularly well suited to children who benefit from movement, fresh air, and hands-on learning.
