Holiday playschemes
For parents, managing holidays can mean having to find new
childcare arrangements or activities to keep children busy, but
there are resources and initiatives that can help.
Holiday playschemes are an affordable way to find holiday
childcare. The schemes are for children aged five to 11, though
some also cater for older children. The playschemes offer groups of
children activities such as arts and crafts, and outings.
A number of organisations offer holiday camps for children. Some
of these are residential, while others are day camps. Some include
special activities such as a sport, art and crafts, or camping
trips.
Locally, the Go4it Team, The Sands Centre and Carlisle Youth
Zone all run holiday clubs.
