☀️ Outdoor Adventure Holiday Clubs for Kids
8:45am – 3:15pm | £39.95 per day
At The Outdoors Project, we know that children’s happiest memories are often made outside — under open skies, amongst trees, across fields, and in spaces where imagination can take flight. Our Outdoor Adventure Holiday Clubs are expertly designed to combine dynamic play, creative challenges and real-world exploration into every single day.
From the moment children arrive at 8:45am, they’re greeted with warmth, enthusiasm and a sense of possibility. Each day runs until 3:15pm, giving children a full day of enriching, active experiences that engage both body and mind — all for £39.95 per day. Unlike ordinary holiday clubs, ours are 100% outdoors, tapping into fresh air, natural spaces and real adventure to support wellbeing, confidence and curiosity. Parents consistently share how much their children thrive here, with one noting that their kids “have a fantastic time” and that the outdoor play is “so creative and allows each individual to get something different out of the experience.” 
Our approach believes in learning through doing — whether that’s through teamwork, problem-solving, seasonal exploration, building skills or simply running free in green space. Children don’t just attend a club; they experience it.

🌟 Different Immersive Themes & Activities Every Day
One of the things families love most about our holiday clubs is that every day feels fresh, exciting and completely new. Our immersive themes are thought-through narratives that bring each day to life — from woodland explorers and forest challenges to nature missions and creative craft quests.
Themes aren’t just labels — they shape the whole day. Children become part of the story world: planning missions, solving challenges, learning skills, collaborating with others, creating woodland-inspired art and pushing themselves in playful ways. One parent shared that the themes are “really well thought out, organised and delivered with interesting themes that grab my child’s imagination — he skips off each morning!”  That’s the reaction we aim for — joyful anticipation and eagerness to learn, play and be outdoors.
Variety matters. Whether a child loves energetic games, building dens, creative crafts, storytelling or team challenges, there’s always something new to discover. Each theme is designed to be inclusive and scalable so children of different ages, personalities and interests can fully participate. This keeps every day fresh — and means siblings, friends and repeat bookings always feel exciting.
As another happy parent put it, “My son says it was amazing … so much fun! My daughter said ‘I LOVED IT!’”

🌿 All Outdoors – Healthy, Green & Inspiring Spaces
Our clubs happen entirely outdoors — and that’s at the heart of what makes them special.
Playing outside isn’t a bonus; it’s our core philosophy. Fresh air, natural light and green spaces support physical health, emotional wellbeing and social connection. Nature invites curiosity at every turn — from logs and leaves to trails and trees — transforming every moment into an opportunity to explore and create.
We operate at two incredible locations, each offering expansive outdoor environments with their own unique advantages:
📍 Great Walstead, Lindfield
Set within 250 acres of beautiful woodland and open spaces, Great Walstead feels like a natural playground waiting to be explored. Children can wander through shaded paths, discover hidden nooks, play big group games and take part in nature-based missions away from traffic or buildings.
📍 Southover School, Lewes
Situated in an idyllic and peaceful location, Southover School offers a huge green playing field — perfect for dynamic games, team challenges and imaginative open-air adventures close to Lewes town but still in a secluded, natural environment.
Both sites create the perfect backdrop for active, nature-rich days that children genuinely enjoy and remember.

🧠 More Than Childcare — It’s Childhood Magic
Our holiday clubs are more than just a way to keep children occupied. They’re experiences that:
• Boost confidence — through team challenges, new skills and personal achievement
• Encourage resilience — learning to problem-solve and adapt outdoors
• Build friendships — through shared play and group missions
• Ignite creativity — using natural materials and free play
• Support wellbeing — active play in fresh air reduces stress and increases happiness
The feedback from parents reflects precisely this impact. Families tell us time and again that their kids can’t stop talking about their experiences, that they wake up excited, and that attending our clubs becomes a highlight of their holiday. For many parents, it’s also a breath of fresh air — knowing their children are outdoors, active, safe and engaged.

Outdoors Adventure Holiday Clubs for Kids!
At The Outdoors Project, we believe childhood should be filled with fresh air, freedom and real adventure. Our Outdoor Adventure Holiday Clubs run from 8:45am to 3:15pm, giving children a full day of excitement, exploration and outdoor fun — all for £39.95 per day.
These aren’t ordinary holiday clubs. Every day is designed to inspire movement, imagination and confidence through hands-on activities set entirely outdoors. From bushcraft and den building to wide games, creative challenges and team missions, children are constantly engaged in experiences that feel like true adventure.
We create a safe, supportive and energetic environment where children can take healthy risks, try new things and build independence. Our experienced staff encourage teamwork, creativity and resilience — all while ensuring children are having enormous fun. There’s no screen time, no stuffy halls and no repetitive schedules — just active days packed with meaningful outdoor experiences.
Different immersive themes & activities each day
No two days are ever the same at our holiday clubs. Each day brings a brand-new immersive theme, carefully planned to keep excitement high and imaginations switched on.
Children might spend one day as woodland explorers building shelters and learning survival skills, and the next on a mythical quest crafting shields and completing team challenges. From Nature Ninja missions and wide-area capture-the-flag games to creative woodland crafts and problem-solving adventures, our themes are woven through the entire day.
This variety keeps children engaged across multiple bookings — whether they attend for a single day or a full week. It also means there’s something for every personality type: energetic movers, creative thinkers, quiet builders and natural leaders all find moments to shine.
Parents often tell us their children come home not only tired and happy, but more confident, more independent and full of stories from the day’s adventures.
Set in Lewes!
Our holiday clubs are run entirely outdoors in beautiful green spaces that give children the room they need to thrive.
At Southover School in Lewes, we use a huge green playing field tucked away in a quiet, idyllic location. The setting feels peaceful and spacious, yet remains conveniently located for families. The wide-open space allows for large group games, team challenges and active play in a safe and inspiring environment.
Both sites offer something truly special — real outdoor space, fresh air and freedom to explore.
