Our fully-qualified team of coaches take the pressure off your shoulders by planning an exciting, active and enjoyable programme of activities that your children will love.
Holiday Playscheme Dates
Monday 26 July - Friday 2 September
Location: YMCA Club 112 Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3NQ
Ages: 4 - 12
Monday 02 August - Friday 20 August
Location: YMCA KX 120 Cromer Street, London, WC1H 8BS

Activities are made up of a bouncy castle, obstacle course, circuits, athletics, swimming, basketball, football, and more. We will also be walking to either Regent’s Park or Coram’s field on afternoon trips.
Playscheme will be running on weekdays only. The standard playscheme day has been extended to 9am – 5pm. Unfortunately, we will not have optional extended hours on either side of this time.
To promote health and safety we will have smaller groups of 20 children, split by age groups, which are subject to change.
To make the booking process as easy as possible we have created a how-to book guide.
Please see our FAQs or contact the Club team if you have any questions.

The Charity takes its responsibilities for safeguarding extremely seriously and believes that it is never acceptable for a child, young person, vulnerable adult, or any member of society to experience abuse of any kind.
