New holiday kids club at Crealy

A new holiday club for children is starting at Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park this Easter holiday.

Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club is open to children aged 8 years and over old during school holidays. Children attending the day camp will enjoy the facilities and attractions at the family theme park, participating in a timetable of exciting activities from theatre workshops to animal handling, parachute games to camp craft and survival skills.

Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club is staffed by Crealy Rangers chosen for their childcare skills and experience, including qualified primary school teachers and qualified activity instructors.

Angela Wright, MBE, Managing Director said, “As we all know, Crealy is loved by children of all ages therefore where better to spend school holidays than at the South West’s favourite family attraction? Children will have the school holidays they dream of at Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club and parents will be confident their children are having a great time, learning new skills and meeting new friends in a safe, yet fun environment with well-qualified staff.”

Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club runs every weekday in the school holidays from 8am until 6pm, with lunch and evening meal included in the price.

Angela Wright continues, “I am a working mother of five children, so I understand the complexities involved in organising childcare during the school holidays. There are many challenges to consider from opening times to meal provision and of course, making sure you’re is having the most fun in a well managed, safe environment. Crealy celebrates 20 years as the region’s leading family attraction so parents can be confident that Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club will tick all of those boxes.”

Crealy Kids’ Adventure Club must be booked in advance by contacting the Crealy Reception on 01395 233200 with further information available online at www.crealy.co.uk
