We offer a range of activities including outdoor adventure activities, drama and dance, arts and crafts and various sport activities. Our activity camps can include traditional sports like football, cricket, basketball or tennis and there are also outdoor pursuits like assault courses, canoeing, kayaking, raft building, treasure hunts, orienteering, and survival skills.
The activities offered give children the chance to learn and experience new things that might not be available to them throughout the school year. It can be a life-changing experience that helps children to grow, not only because they may learn new skills, but they also grow and develop emotionally and mentally. For some it will be the first time they are away from their parents. For others, it will be a much needed break from the pressures of school. Everyone will take away something different from our camps.
Classes and Clubs
Our after school classes are enjoyed by hundreds of children every week as they develop skills and confidence with food, creating nutritious and exciting dishes from scratch. Our specially created programme has been developed with a variety of school facilities in mind, so whether your school has a fully-fitted food technology suite, or just a room with access to washing up facilities, we have a solution that will fit. And with over 100 different recipes completed (and counting) there is a fantastic variety and something new to look forward to each week.
Parties
Our recipe for a successful party is to take all the stress out of the organising - you provide the children, and we’ll provide everything else. At the party, children make their own party lunch or tea. The menu of recipes include a choice of savoury and sweet treats and they will make enough so they can take something home in their party bag too.
Tuition
We provide one-to-one or small group tuition that is designed to provide a solid foundation for later life by developing key skills in the kitchen.
Holiday Workshops
