Our Before and After School Adventures

Unlock your child’s potential with our Adventure Programme

The Adventure Programme consists of seven fun-filled categories that have been designed to help children navigate the world around them.

Each adventure category gives children the opportunity to develop life skills and explore their interests, all while having fun and creating friendships for life.

Let children’s imaginations run wild as they unlock new skills with a range of activities packed with excitement. Whether it's whipping up tasty treats, getting sporty, or unwinding with yoga and mindfulness, our tailor-made adventures let children do what they love and discover new interests!

The seven adventure categories are Flavour Fest, Global Kids, Brain Boosters, Wellbeing Warriors, Power Teams, Super Sports and Creative Inventors.

Happy memories will be made as children embark on adventures that contain exciting games and challenges. Designed for children of all ages, skill levels and interests, each activity promotes inclusion and above all else – fun!
