School holiday courses

Our holiday courses are for children aged 3 - 13 and take place in every school holiday. The children are split into age specific groups to ensure all activities are pitched at the right level. At Active Kids we work very hard to ensure that each child achieves and has an entirely positive experience of sport of physical activity.

Carefully selected venues

All our courses take place in carefully selected, high quality venues with sufficient indoor space to allow the children to remain active irrespective of the weather. All our key staff are highly qualified professionals. All our staff are CRB checked and there are named first aiders at each centre.

Guaranteed fun

The days are structured so that children are active throughout their time with us. We keep to strict ratios and limit group sizes to 14 for pre school though to 20 for 8-11 year olds. All groups are led by a qualified leader and an Active Kids trained assistant.

Holiday programme

Here's an example of a typical day on one of our holiday programs for school age kids. The example activities are taken from the programme for 6 year olds.
