Christmas Holiday Camps: 13th December – 7th January 2025
Recruits
Join us for our Recruits classes: a jam-packed, fun-filled 45 minutes where your child will be exercising both their muscles and mind!
The games are specifically designed to challenge and develop this age group and are part of an active learning approach to focus on their physical and emotional skills, including fine and gross motor skills, hand eye coordination, problem solving, team-work and communication.
The children are introduced to new vocabulary, colour names and matching, number reognition and counting. Your child will be supported by our instructors to feel confident and self-assured, and we take the time to celebrate every achievement – no matter how big or small.
Whilst the theme of the class changes each week, the overarching structure itself remains the same. We feel this routine is essential for young children.
The Recruits class is a fantastic opportunity for your child to meet new friends and leave TARKA with a new host of role models.
Holiday Camps
Come and join us for 4 hours of MADNESS! The camp starts as soon as the children walk through the door. They are greeted with high fives, and encouraged to join in straight away so they immediately feel comfortable in the camp. They will be stretching, running, jumping and crawling to focus and work on whole body movements, strengthening their core muscles.
Our instructors transport them to an imaginary world, they could be building a city of skyscrapers, driving cars around the track or defending a castle. The exercises are part of an active learning approach and designed to focus on fine and gross motor skills, hand eye coordination, problem solving, team work, communication, leadership, and imaginative play.
Most importantly, the camps are designed for the children to have a huge amount of fun. Our high ratios of instructors to children ensure that each child is given the attention they deserve and no child is ever left behind. The camps are high energy from the start all the way to the end where the children take part in a cool down which includes stretching, breathing and mindfulness exercise so they leave the class happy, relaxed and calm.

-
My child isn’t yet potty trained and is sometimes in nappies. Can they attend the drop-off camp?
Staff are responsible for supervising the toileting needs of young children. At TARKA we support children who go to the toilet. We do not provide or encourage the use of potties, this eliminates the risk of cross infection and promotes good hygiene standards.
Nappies
We do not provide or change nappies at TARKA. If a child is in a drop-off class with a nappy on, the parent is required to stay on site.
