Summer activities for children on Free School Meals (HAF)
Bewl Water Outdoor Centre is delighted to be part of the Government's national Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF).
We will be running 4-day holiday programmes during the Summer holidays for children aged 8 - 16 years old that are eligible for Free School Meals. The programme is free for eligible children and there are no extra costs or charges involved.
The 4-day sessions will take place during the first 4 weeks of the Summer holidays (between the 26th July to 20th August 2021).
Children can attend any week but cannot switch between weeks so we can maintain consistent COVID-safe bubbles for the entire 4 days.
Activities
We are offering a programme that will include taking part in a wide range of outdoor learning activities including:
- Stand-paddleboarding
- Canoeing
- Sailing
- Climbing
- Archery and Axe Throwing
- Low Ropes and Challenge Course
- Team-building and Problem-Solving
- Orienteering and Mapwork
- Bushcraft and Campfire Cooking
- Mountain Biking
The exact programme will be based on the weather, ages and ability of the groups.
All activities are led by our fully qualified and experienced outdoor instructors and have been adapted to ensure they are COVID safe, with equipment sanitised before use.
Bewl Water Outdoor Centre is proud to hold an Adventurous Activity Licence (AALS) and Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Quality Badge.
