Suitable for children age 8 years plus - Spend the week having a go at a range of outdoor activities such as Canoeing, Kayaking, High Ropes, BMX, Problem Solving and Archery. Children will be supervised at all times by a youth worker and all activities are run by qualified coaches with a DBS check.

We are offering a three day respite from your children by looking after them at the Hub and teaching them how to cook! The sessions run from 9:00am until 5:00pm each day. Children will learn how to make basic meals to share with their family and friends, learn about making healthy snacks that can be made and grabbed on the go and also design and produce a few sweet treats along the way.

The course is suitable for ages 8 + as children will need to be responsible for their own work areas, be aware of any allergies or intollerances and their own skill levels.
Places are £96 for three days, which works out at £4 per hour for 24 hours. Early bird price of £80 if booked before Friday 30th June.
