EXCELR8 Easter Sports and Arts Camp
Our programme offers a fun, inclusive and enriching holiday experience where children can eat well, play actively and grow with confidence. Our provision combines high-quality physical activity, creative enrichment and nutritious food to support children’s health, wellbeing and development throughout the school holidays.
A key highlight of our programme is swimming, delivered in a safe, fully supervised leisure centre environment. Swimming sessions take place twice a week and focus on building confidence, improving technique, promoting water safety and enjoying fun aquatic games. These sessions help children develop essential life skills while boosting fitness and self-esteem, making swimming one of the most popular and valuable elements of our offer.
Children also take part in a wide range of engaging activities including multi-sports, team games, fitness-based activities, dance, yoga, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts and open play. Open play allows children to explore their interests, create their own games and build independence, while team activities support cooperation, resilience and friendship building. Calm spaces, reading zones and sensory-friendly options are available to support wellbeing and inclusion.
