Make your plan

Pick an age range and the hours families need. Say whether early drop-off or late pickup is available.
Choose a mix of active, creative and quiet activities. Leave room for children to choose between two simple options.
Try one week before planning a whole summer. Notice which parts need more space, supplies or staff time.

Picture it

A nature week might include a short walk, leaf drawing and a team game each day, with the same arrival routine every morning.

Put your choices into a plan you can change and share with your team.
