May Half Term Holiday Club

Come and enjoy a morning full of activities, plus a hot nutritious meal during the May half term at the Cumulus Outdoors Residential Centre. For one week only, we will be offering a range of adventurous, creative and fun outdoor education activities aimed at getting local children active and encouraging an interest in the great outdoors.

Each day, we will offer a fun-filled outdoor activity (weather permitting) before lunch. Not only will the children have great fun on the activity, but they will also enjoy a delicious meal to re-charge their energy levels.

Tuesday 26th May
Join us for a morning of creativity and imagination as children transform ordinary rocks into playful “food” creations using paint and a touch of artistic flair. From colourful cupcakes to quirky sandwiches, this activity encourages observation, creativity and plenty of fun.
We’ll also get hands-on with a unique craft session, creating flower crowns that never fade. Using pipe cleaners and soft wool, children will design and make their own wearable creations — no picking flowers needed, just creativity and skill. Each child will leave with something special they can proudly wear and take home.

Ready for a challenge? Our bushcraft cooking activity will put teamwork and outdoor skills to the test. Working in teams, children will learn how to safely build a fire and cook an egg to the instructor’s liking, developing problem-solving, communication and resilience along the way.

This fun-filled morning is packed with laughter, imagination and teamwork, and will be rounded off with a delicious two-course lunch to enjoy together.

Wednesday 27th May
Join us for a fun-filled day of creativity as children design and build their own recycled musical instruments! Using a variety of materials, they’ll craft unique creations with the goal of coming together as a band and performing as a team. This hands-on activity encourages creativity, problem-solving and plenty of musical fun.

We’ll also make the most of our on-site tunnelling system, where children can explore, play exciting games and take on engaging puzzles. Working together, they’ll build teamwork skills while enjoying a sense of adventure.

The morning will be rounded off with a delicious two-course lunch, giving everyone a chance to relax, refuel and celebrate their creations

Thursday 28th May
Join us for a bright and colourful day of creativity as children design their own tie-dye creations! Using vibrant dyes, they’ll experiment with patterns and colour combinations to create a unique piece they can take home and proudly wear.

We’ll also enjoy an energetic game of “hunt the instructor” — a teamwork-based twist on hide and seek, where children will work together to track down the hidden leader around the site. If there’s still time, we’ll keep the fun going with a selection of mini games out on the field

This lively morning of creativity, teamwork and play will be rounded off with a scrumptious two-course meal for everyone to enjoy
