Holiday & Saturday Club for 8-17 year olds
Supported by Kent County Council, our holiday club for young people provides a natural break for children with additional needs and their families
The club is for 8-17 year olds living in Kent. Activities are tailored to individual and group needs and include hands-on cooking, environmental arts, recycled art, brickmaking, den building, pond dipping, forest activities and gardening. All activities are led by our team of tutors with vast experience teaching children with a variety of additional needs. The sessions will be age differentiated and help to develop skills, confidence and self esteem appropriate to need and interests.
This is a club for young people - carers/parents are not required to stay. Parents or carers who want to know more please contact becky.baldock@boreplace.org 01732 463255. If you are working with a young person and their family and think this might be for them, please get in touch too.
