A summary

The PPAME @OBA HAF Holiday Activity Camp is an exciting, inclusive, and enriching programme that supports children and young people during school holidays. Delivered as part of the government's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) initiative, the camp provides a safe, welcoming environment where children can learn, play, build friendships, and enjoy nutritious meals at no cost to eligible families. At the heart of the PPAME @OBA HAF programme is a commitment to creating positive and memorable experiences for every child. Each day is carefully planned with a wide range of engaging activities designed to suit different ages, interests, and abilities. Participants can enjoy sports such as football, basketball, multi-skills games, dance, and team-building challenges, all of which promote physical wellbeing, teamwork, and confidence. Alongside physical activities, children have opportunities to explore their creativity through arts and crafts, drama, music, and cooking workshops. Educational and STEM-based sessions also form part of the programme, offering fun and interactive ways to develop problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a love of learning during the holidays. The camp places a strong emphasis on personal development and wellbeing. Through collaborative tasks, group activities, and positive social interactions, children are encouraged to build resilience, communication skills, leadership qualities, and self-confidence. The supportive environment promotes respect, inclusion, and positive behaviour, ensuring that every child feels valued and able to thrive. Experienced and trained staff provide high-quality supervision, guidance, and encouragement throughout the programme. A key feature of the PPAME @OBA HAF Holiday Camp is the provision of healthy, balanced meals. Every child attending receives a nutritious meal each day, helping to reduce holiday hunger while encouraging healthy eating habits. Mealtimes provide a relaxed and social setting where children can connect with their peers and learn about the importance of nutrition and overall wellbeing. Accessibility and inclusion are central to the programme. While the camp is primarily aimed at children who receive benefits-related free school meals, efforts are made to support children with special educational needs and disabilities wherever possible. Activities are adapted to ensure all participants can engage safely, confidently, and successfully. For parents and carers, the PPAME @OBA HAF Holiday Camp provides reassurance and support during school breaks. Families can be confident that their children are safe, active, well-fed, and engaged in meaningful experiences that support their development and wellbeing. Ultimately, the PPAME @OBA HAF Holiday Activity Camp is much more than a holiday programme. It is a vibrant and supportive community where children can stay active, develop new skills, build lasting friendships, and return to school feeling healthier, happier, more confident, and inspired for the future.
