With Easter not too far away, it’s the time of year for those who have kids to be thinking about holiday plans and holiday clubs. We now have Super Camps and Activate Sport sharing offers for staff with kids.
Holiday clubs
Activate Sport are offering 20% discount on their sport and activity holiday courses for children aged 5-16 years in the UK. They operate courses such as the Andrew Flintoff Cricket Academy, the International Netball Roadshow and the Brendan Cole Dance Academy. They have facilities at over 75 locations nationwide including Bolton School, Stockport Grammar School, Cheadle Hulme School, Lymm High School and The Grange in Hartford - so plenty going on in and around Greater Manchester at Easter and in the summer!
Super Camps provide multi-activity camps and workshops for children aged 4-16 giving sporting, craft and outdoor options. Whether it’s whizzing round a motor quads course, creating themed arts and crafts projects or competing in a new Super Camps sports competition, children have the chance to learn new skills and have fun with a number of their courses running from the nearby William Hulme Grammar School. Visit the Activate Sport and Super Camps pages to get your code and access and savings.
