Out of school clubs Holiday Clubs Forest School Holiday Club - Emberton About our Holiday Club Olney Road, Emberton, MK46 5BX The centre offers fun, active childcare for children aged 4-13 during the school holidays, delivered by our team of experienced forest school leaders. Taking place completely outdoors, children will participate in a range of activities from mini beast hunting, den-building, natural crafts and cooking on a campfire. We have also planted more trees to develop the outdoor environment and built our first outdoor shelter. Over the next couple of years we aim to plant over 500 trees and shrubs, build several outdoor shelters and other wooden structures and sculptures, develop an orchard and allotment area, and develop a range of other outdoor provisions that will enhance the activities and sessions on offer. 2024 Holiday Dates Tuesday 2nd April Wednesday 3rd April Thursday 4th April Monday 8th April Tuesday 9th April Wednesday 10th April Thursday 11th April Time: 8.30am - 4:30pm Price: £42 per session These are now available to book on our website here.

Catering The children need to bring their own pack lunch and snacks for throughout the day, however, a hot snack (such as crumpets, vegetarian chilli with nachos, vegetable kebabs, s'mores, cheese fondue, damper bread, muffins, pizza wraps, cheese toasties and soup) along with hot chocolate is provided as part of a lovely activity where children can gather around the campfire to help cook their own snack in the company of the other children and our forest school leaders.
