Are you a young person aged 8+ and enjoy a range of creative activities? Join us for a joyful week long summer club designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and ease gently into the holidays. In a small, supportive group, we’ll explore a variety of fun and relaxing creative arts activities—from painting, sculpture and crafting to mindful journaling and storytelling. It’s the perfect way to unwind, express yourself, and reconnect after a busy school year.
A bit about the club leader: I am Fiona and I have been a Primary Teacher for 16 years. As well as teaching, I am an artist, and qualified holistic counsellor. I run my business, 'Create and Connect Holistic Wellbeing', where I support my clients in developing their creative skills and knowledge whilst focusing on their wellbeing, taking them into relaxation response and benefitting their holistic health.
Planned structure of each day:
Our main activities will run from 10am-4pm and you are free to arrive any time between 9-10am and be collected 4-5pm to allow for more flexibility. The first and last hour of the day you can choose from a range of fun activities.
We have a lovely outdoor space to use so will spend as much time as possible outdoors.
9-10am: soft start and free choice
10-10.30am: relaxation/mindfulness activity- tools for relaxation and better sleep
10.30-12am: art and craft activity (snack whilst creating)
12-12.30pm: lunch break

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you don't mind getting potentially messy in.
We plan to be outside as much as possible. In case of very sunny weather, bring light clothing you can change into/ layers you can remove if it's hot. Please also bring sun cream and a sun hat to keep you protected.
Please bring a lunch- healthy snacks and water will be provided (but feel free to bring your own if you have specific tastes).
All materials will be provided but if you have particular artistic materials you like using you are free to bring them with you too.
Feel free to bring any tech free games/toys of your own that you want to use in soft start/end and break times.
Please be aware the group is a phone free zone, including at break times. I will take contact numbers for parents/guardians in case of an emergency.
