Summer Holiday HQ Weekly Themes
Week 1: Water Week
Make a splash with one of the most exciting weeks of summer! Children will dive into the action with the Slip n’ Slide Dash, Water Balloon Gauntlet, and a wild Capture the Flag – Water Edition. Every day brings a new way to get soaked, challenge a team, or cool down creatively. Skill Zone challenges keep the momentum flowing with Tidal Yoga, Bucket Fill Races, Nature Sketching Walks and more — all inspired by the magic and movement of water.
In our Make & Take workshops, children will design their own water park, experiment in a splash science lab, create underwater cities, and build calming rainsticks. The week wraps with the colourful, chaotic, can’t-miss Slip n’ Slide & Colour Run, combining water play and powder for the ultimate summer sensory experience.
Week 2: Outdoor Explorers
Nature lovers and curious minds unite for a week of outdoor adventures, discovery trails and wild creativity! From the moment children step into camp, they’ll be immersed in nature-inspired fun — learning Campfire Survival Skills, going on HHQ Scavenger Hunts, and navigating with Compass Challenges. Hero activities blend exploration and teamwork, while Skill Zone introduces trail decoding, outdoor sketching, and nature-based problem-solving.
Back at basecamp, children will channel the wild into hands-on workshops — crafting Leaf Art, building Story Sticks, and sculpting clay creatures inspired by what they find outdoors. With storytelling, exploration and fresh air galore, this week is the perfect blend of movement, mindfulness and outdoor magic.
Week 3: Sports Week
Ready, set, go! This action-packed week is all about movement, motivation and a whole lot of friendly competition. Children will take on daily Hero Activities, including the Mini Olympics, Ultimate Sports Day and fast-paced Relay Races. From warm-ups to tournaments, the energy never stops — with Skill Zone challenges such as Step Tracker Goals, Speed & Agility Circuits, and Teamwork Trials designed to build stamina, focus and coordination.
In between games, children will get creative by designing team kits, crafting medals, and personalising water bottles in our Make & Take workshops. The week includes a high-energy NERF Battle — a thrilling showdown inspired by the modern pentathlon, where children rotate through movement-based challenges before grabbing their blasters for the final event. Whether your child’s a team player, speedy sprinter or just loves getting stuck in, this week is full-throttle fun from start to finish.
Week 4: Fun of the Fair
Step right up for a week of carnival-themed chaos, performance fun and classic fairground vibes! From Carnival Dodgeball and Fairground Relays to hosting their own Talent Show, children will explore the best bits of a traditional fair with a Holiday HQ twist. Skill Zone activities like Comedy Improv Skits, Ring Toss Challenges, and Booth Hosting Games help children build confidence, creativity and a sense of playful showmanship.
In our Make & Take workshops, children will design eye-catching signs, build their own booth props, and craft wearable funfair hats. To bring it all to life, clubs will experience a spectacular Special Event: either a high-energy Inflatables Day or a series of classic Fairground Stalls, from coconut shies to tin can toss. Whether bouncing, performing or game-mastering, every child will find their spotlight in this lively, laughter-filled week
Week 5: Crazy Science & Invention
Strap on your safety goggles — it’s time to experiment, invent and get a little bit messy! This week is bursting with mind-blowing science, creative engineering and curiosity-led fun. Children will erupt volcanoes, launch DIY rockets, and tackle our famous Fizz & Pop Chemistry Lab. Skill Zone ramps up the challenge with Lab Safety Drills, Build-a-Bridge Engineering, and inventive problem-solving games to stretch their logic and imagination.
In our Make & Take sessions, children will construct bubble blowers, build balloon cars, and design their own inventions to display in our mini “Idea Gallery”. The week includes a high-speed RC Car Engineering Test, where children customise remote-controlled vehicles and race them in a STEM-inspired showdown. During the week, the excitement peaks with a visit from ZooLab, giving children the chance to meet incredible animals and learn about their habitats first-hand. Expect plenty of “oohs”, “aahs” and “wows” — this is a week full of brain-boosting brilliance and hands-on discovery!
Week 6: Party Vibes
Let’s end the summer with a bang! This week is a non-stop celebration packed with party games, glow-up moments, and musical madness. Children will dive into Glow Party Games, Dance Battles, and even a Silent Disco Rehearsal to prepare for the ultimate party finale. In Skill Zone, they’ll take on balloon challenges, rhythm relays and creative choreography, building confidence and coordination along the way.
Every day adds to the fun with Party Hat Making, Confetti Crafts, and Celebration Wall Art in our Make & Take workshops — giving children something colourful to take home or wear on the dance floor. To top it all off, the week includes an epic Silent Disco, where children choose their own tunes, dance their hearts out, and celebrate their summer with new friends, big energy, and serious style.
