Creative Art and Design Camp @ Kingston!
IDEA Design Hub CIC
A summary
Unlock your creativity and inner artist at the HAF programme this winter, in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and funded by the Department for Education!
This engaging programme brings together art and design, physical activity, and nutritional education in a fun, inclusive, and age-appropriate environment for both primary and secondary school-aged children.
Each day combines hands-on creative experiences with opportunities to move, explore, and learn practical life skills that children can take home and continue beyond the summer.
Children will journey through exciting summer-inspired themes including:
- Ocean & Coastal Explorers
Create sea-inspired artwork, design underwater worlds, build imaginative sculptures, and discover the importance of protecting natural environments.
- Nature & Outdoor Discovery
Take inspiration from summer gardens, wildlife, plants, and seasonal colours through creative making and sensory design activities.
- Creative Summer Studio
Experiment with drawing, painting, mixed media, design projects, wearable creations, and imaginative problem-solving inspired by the energy and freedom of summer.
- Play & Movement
Enjoy daily physical activities including team games, movement challenges and summer-themed fitness sessions that promote confidence and healthy habits.
In addition, children will enjoy creative nutritional education and learn about healthy eating habits. Every day will provide a healthy hot meal, enriching activities, and joyful experiences that help children learn, create, stay active, and celebrate the spirit of summer together.

HAF Eligibility
FUEL (which stands for ‘Feed Ur Everyday Lives’) is the name for the holiday activity and food programme (HAF) in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is funded by the Department of Education and run by Achieving for Children.
Eligible recipients of the HAF are young people aged 5 to 16 years (including 4 year olds if they are in reception) who are receiving benefit related free school meals. More information on HAF eligibility is available here.
Benefit related free school meals are different to the universal free school meals that all young people now receive at primary schools. Benefit related free school meals need to be applied for through your local council. You can find out more information on applying for benefit related free school meals here:

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
