School’s out, and that means it’s time for adventures, creativity, and plenty of giggles! Our Vacation Care program is packed with exciting activities, games, and experiences that will keep your kids laughing, learning, and making memories all school holidays long. From action-packed excursions to hands-on incursions at the centre, there’s something for every explorer, artist, and sports star!
Excursions – Out & About:
We take children on excursions via a private bus to explore, play, and try new adventures. Excursions focus on physical activity, teamwork, and new experiences. Examples include:
• Ice-skating
• Tree Tops climbing adventures
• Multi-cultural dance & art-making
• Trampolining & giant playgrounds
Incursions – Fun at the Centre:
Special instructors or our talented staff run activities at the centre for hands-on, interactive fun.
Examples include:
• Indigenous weaving & painting
• Magic shows & learning tricks
• Farm animals & farm-life lessons
• Gladiator games & water-gun battles
Tip: All activities are listed in the Vacation Care program, so parents can plan the fun and ensure their children don’t miss their favourites!
