Why Staying Active in the School Holidays Matters

School holidays are a time for children to relax, recharge, and have fun, but they can also lead to too much screen time and boredom if there’s no structured activity.

Many children experience a drop in physical activity during school holidays, leading to:

  • Increased screen time and less outdoor play.
  • A disrupted routine, making it harder to settle back into school life.
  • Missed opportunities to build social and teamwork skills.

As parents, we all want to keep our kids engaged, social, and active during the school holiday break, but finding the right balance can be tricky. That’s where school holiday camps come in. Holiday camps offer the perfect mix of fun, being active, and making friends, ensuring children make the most of their time off and you having the peace of mind that they are being kept safe.

Top 5 benefits of active holiday camps for kids:

Holiday camps provide a structured environment where children can stay physically active, learn new sports, and interact with friends – all while having fun!

1. Keeping kids fit & healthy
Sports and activity camps ensure children are always on the move, helping them build strength, coordination, and endurance in a fun and engaging way. Whether it’s football, gymnastics, creative crafts, sports galore, super skills, or outdoor adventure, every day is action-packed.

2. Making new friends
With a mix of children from different schools and backgrounds, sports and activity camps are a great way to make new friends, helping kids build confidence and develop teamwork skills in a supportive environment.

3. Learning new skills
From mastering a new sport to improving agility and coordination, sports and activity camps offer diverse activities to keep children engaged. Plus, professional coaches ensure kids learn in a safe and encouraging setting.

4. Giving parents peace of mind
While kids have an amazing time, parents can relax knowing their child is in a structured, safe, and supervised environment. No more worrying about how to keep them entertained all day, taking time off work or relying on grandparents!

5. Cost effective childcare
School holidays can be stressful, particularly for working parents. Making sure your children are entertained or relying on grandparents for childcare can be a challenge for 14 weeks of the academic year! Using activity camp providers ensures that your child is active, learning new skills, and making new friends, without breaking the bank!
