Summer Of Fun

Summer Of Fun

WYCP’s Summer of Fun program will offer children and young people aged 8-16 a variety of on-site and offsite activities to enhance their personal, social, and emotional development. The program will run for 4 days a week, for 5 weeks during the school summer holiday, including two residential experiences. It will provide opportunities for young people to engage in positive activities while receiving a healthy meal/food at every session. The activities will encompass a diverse range of experiences, and the program will also incorporate physical activities, including weekly group games and sports sessions. Off-site visits will be available, and when a trip has limited capacity, alternative sessions will be offered.

The program will feature Centre-based activities, off-site activities in local parks, and activity centres. As part of the Summer of Fun, up to 30 children will have the opportunity to take part in a five-day residential at the Farms for City Children (FFCC). This will enable children to immerse themselves in farming for a week, gaining a deeper understanding of food sources and developing valuable skills, including teamwork, social skills, reduced reliance on technology, and healthy eating habits. Through immersive activities spanning five days, children will develop essential soft skills, including communication, confidence, compassion, courage, curiosity, connection, conservation, community, and collaboration. This will take place in week 2, from July 2th to 31st.

Additionally, there will be a five-day camp residential trip to Playaway Eshton Grange in week 4 (10th -14th aug), where young people will camp, sleep under the stars, participate in stargazing, experience the Perseid meteor shower, learn essential life skills, engage in healthy cooking and sports activities, and be surrounded by nature throughout the week.

Summer of fun starts 20th July – 21st August 2026
