Ark-T Centre
A summary
When arriving at our creative holiday club, drop-off is at 10AM at Ark-T, Cowley Centre (Templars Square). Young people should bring a named water bottle, a waterproof coat, comfortable clothing, and sun protection if needed. Pick-up is at 2PM at the same location. If someone other than the listed emergency contact is collecting the child, parents must notify the camp staff in advance.
The daily schedule runs from 10AM to 2PM and includes a variety of creative activities, cooking, well-being workshops, and free-choice activities. There are daily walks in local outdoor spaces, and children will have time for free play in the designated play spaces. Each Wednesday we will also take the young people on an outing: Week 1- The Story Museum and Week 2- Oxford City Farm (packed lunches will be provided on these days).
.
Ark-T has a large art room where children will participate in various creative activities each day. The club will have a Summer focus, encouraging creativity in the garden as well. Outdoor play is incorporated into the schedule, though specific sports or games are not detailed. Children will have the opportunity to choose from different activities to suit their interests.
The meals provided include snacks and a vegetarian lunch, with drinks available throughout the day, including water and sugar-free squash. All dietary requirements are catered for, ensuring that each child has suitable meal options.
The club is designed for children aged 6-11 years, and spaces are limited. The staff team includes Clare and Vanessa as Club Managers, who are both very experienced and hands-on.
Our holiday club offers limited spaces for children with special educational needs (SEND) on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are carefully reviewed, and if adequate support cannot be provided, staff will contact parents to discuss options.
Ark-T's space in Templars Square is not fully wheelchair accessible, as there is no lift or disabled toilet access.
