· Children must be ages 9 - 12 years old to join the ZONE.
This is a FREE program for our children to attend. However, a parent, caregiver, or guardian must collect and complete a permission slip from the front counter. This helps us ensure the safety and privacy of all participants, especially in cases where photos or videos may be taken during activities and crafts.
Date & Time: Every Friday from 3:30pm – 4:30pm (Excluding the school holidays)
Requirements: To participate, the completed permission slip must be returned to the front desk by a parent, caregiver, or guardian. Once that’s done, all your child needs to bring is themselves and a smile!

What we’ll be doing at the ZONE:
🎲 Games:
· Get ready for laughs and friendly competition! Each week we’ll play all kinds of games — from fast-paced group games like touch or soccer, to indoor challenges like Minute to Win It, trivia, or board games. No pressure to be sporty — just come have fun and make friends!
🎨 Painting & Crafts:
· Unleash your creativity! We’ll try out cool projects like canvas painting, DIY slime, friendship bracelets, clay making, and seasonal crafts. Don’t worry if you’re not “artsy” — we’re here to have fun and try new things!

🌳 Picnics & Outdoor Fun:
· When the weather’s nice, we’ll take the club outside! Think laid-back picnics, sidewalk chalk art, flying kites, and scavenger hunts in the park. It’s a great way to get some fresh air and hang out.
🍕 Food Fun:
· Sometimes we’ll have snacks and mini food activities like decorating cookies, making your own mini pizza, or simple no-bake treats. We'll always check for allergies and make sure there's something for everyone!
💻 iPad Time & Tech Fun:
· We’ll explore awesome (and safe!) ways to use technology — from playing creative games to trying out cool apps like digital drawing or interactive puzzles. Sometimes we’ll have group tech challenges or let everyone chill with supervised free-play time. Just fun, learning, and digital creativity!
