Children's Holidays     

Child provides holidays for children aged 7-15. We have provided holidays for over 1100 children to date.  Holidays are a great opportunity for the children to mix, learn from each other and enjoy a wide range of fun activities.   We ensure that the week provides a safe, secure and fun environment for them. The holidays take place in carefully selected residential centres.

Child Holiday Structure

Each holiday is run and organised by experienced and trained staff, lead by the holiday Director and Assistant Director.

The Support Staff consists of a team of volunteers, including a trained first-aider, who assist the Directors and the Group Leaders.

When the children arrive they are allocated into groups of approximately eight and with two Group Leaders, who ensure the children have all the care they need during their stay.

The children can take part in a host of activities including swimming, rock climbing, horse riding, crafts and canoeing to name but a few.

Our volunteers are full of energy and enthusiasm and give all they can to make the holiday as great as they possibly can.

Since 1996 we have run 16 very successful holidays in Omagh, Castlewellan, Craigavon and Newcastle for children aged 8-15 yrs.  We have provided holidays for over 1100 children, all of whom had an action packed, fun week.
