As summer approaches, you and your guests will need to think about activities for children during the school break.
We are trying to persuade schools and other providers to organise such activities, e.g., camps. This page contains information about these.
Premier Education are working with Mail Force to provide 20,000 Ukrainian children with places at their fun-filled summer Holiday Camps. Please register here.
Barracudas Activity Day Camps are among the UK's most popular holiday clubs and are offering free spots for Ukrainian refugees across their 45 locations, also in collaboration with Mail Force. Click the link above for more information and to register.
Westbourne School hosts a few summer camps in Chichester, run by various organisations. We are trying to negotiate discounts/subsidised places, but it might be worth trying yourself. (The Tech Summer Camp looks wonderful for some of our children and Mr Bailey who runs the Bumblebees camps is the most amazing person you will meet!) For more information and to express your interest, contact Kate Hogan.
Cobnor Sailing will run an activity day on either 19th, 29th, or 30th August which will include four activities including water sports. 09.30-16.30. If this is of interest please complete this Doodle poll asap, to help them decide on the date.

Can be just children however they request a couple of parents or people to come to support a 1:10 adult:child ratio. Children and families can bring packed lunch or picnic to eat over the lunch break.
