Join us at Rhyd-y-Creuau for our Holiday Club. We will be running fun outdoor activity days at Field Studies Council Rhyd-y-Creuau during the school holidays, for children aged 8-11 years old.
Each day will be a mixture of adventurous activities such as hill walks or gorge scrambling and nature-based environmental games. Activities will happen on-site at the centre or in the surrounding area with a minibus journey to the activity location.

Example Timetable
Our day will run from 9am to 4pm. Children can be dropped off from 8:30am and collected at 4pm.
Activities over the two days can include the following. We will make a plan on the day that best suits the weather conditions and group that are attending so no fixed activity plan on each day.
- Gorge scrambling at Llyn Geirionydd (we will only do this from May onwards because of water temperatures)
- Cwm Idwal mountain adventure
- Environmental art
- Orienteering on site and in Coed Hafod ancient woodland
- Land-based minibeast hunts
- Investigating the Afon Conwy and what lives there by getting in the river and taking samples
- Team games and challenges
- Bushcraft on site and building shelters in Coed Bron Rhedyn
