The Outdoors Project - Summer 2024 Holiday Clubs Poster

What's on this summer?

We have 17 different activities in store for you this summer! Our biggest summer yet. Check them out below. These are rotated on different days throughout the summer, so you'll have more than 1 chance at attending a specific activity.

As usual, each day is based on a theme, with 4 related activities & games per day. We'll be playing outside every day, away from screens! Our activities have fun at their core, and also focus on keeping active, learning new skills, & getting curious about the world around us - just how we think an exciting childhood should be!

All of the activities are below. We have branches around the UK with their own schedules, so to see when & where these will be running: Choose Your Location
