HAF Camps The Positive Impact On Our Local Communities

Great news! Our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) camps are back for another year!

Thanks to our partnership with local councils, we’re excited to keep supporting children and families by providing free sports, fun activities, and healthy meals during school holidays.

What Is HAF?

HAF is a government-funded program that helps children who get free school meals stay active, healthy, and happy during the Easter, summer, and Christmas breaks.

At our camps, children enjoy:
60 minutes of sports every day
Nutritious meals to keep them strong and energised
Fun enrichment activities like swimming, gymnastics, and trampolining at leisure centre facilities.

Why HAF Camps Matter

School breaks can be tough for families.

Without regular school meals and activities, children might miss out on healthy food and exercise. Our camps keep routines going, help children make new friends, and teach them about nutrition and staying active.

Our HAF camps do more than just keep children busy – they bring communities together. By working with local schools, families, and organisations, we help children stay active through the holidays and discover a love for sports and exercise that can last a lifetime.

Exciting Activities Await!

This year, we’re making our camps bigger and better than ever!

As well as Graves Leisure Centre, we are now working in partnership with Queen’s Park Sports Centre so we are able to offer the following sports in Chesterfield.

• Swimming
• Gymnastics
• Trampolining
• And much more

It is a great opportunity for children that are not normally exposed to these facilities and activities to enrich themselves in a new skill.

At our school provision we have a slightly different offering which does not compromise on fun and engagement. Using the school’s facilities we will put on a wide variety of sporting and craft activities.

Join the Fun!

We can’t wait to welcome even more kids to our HAF camps this year! Want to learn more or sign up?
