SCHOOL HOLIDAY WELLBEING PROGRAMS

Help your child build confidence, resilience & emotional wellbeing

Join us these school holidays for our award-winning 1 Day Workshops and immersive 3 Day Camps for children aged 5 to 12 years.

Through fun, uplifting and practical movement, mindset and mindfulness activities, our programs help children develop meaningful tools and strategies to support confidence, emotional wellbeing and healthy friendships both now and into the future.

More than a holiday activity

Children leave our programs feeling more connected to themselves, more confident in who they are and empowered with practical wellbeing tools they can use for life.

Our Holiday Programs are intentionally designed to support the social and emotional wellbeing of children in a proactive, empowering and heart-centred way.

Lemonade Kids is a trusted licensee of the multi award-winning Standing Strong® program, and through this approach we have supported over 10,000 children since 2020.

Each Holiday Program incorporates our three STRONG pillars: Strong BODY (movement), Strong MIND (mindset) and Strong HEART (mindfulness), helping children build confidence, emotional awareness and practical wellbeing skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Strong BODY includes gentle, low-competitive movement, fitness and exercise through team building activities, worry workouts, and PE games in both an indoor and outdoor setting. Strong Body is at the start of the day to help calm nervous energy and give participants the opportunity to meet other members in a fun, interactive way.
Strong MIND is our core component and in our professional opinion is where the 'gold' comes from! For a 1 Day Workshop we explore three topics, for a 3 Day Camp we explore six topics. These are mindset topics that parents wished schools were able to teach more of.
Strong HEART is enjoyed from lunch time onwards, as a good learning opportunity for children to recognise their 'energy scale' of how they are feeling in their bodies, and how mindfulness exercises can bring them back into balance. Mindfulness exercises that we love teaching include breathwork, yoga, yoga games, grounding exercises, meditations and visualisations.

One of the common things we hear from parents after their child attends a holiday program is “I wish something like this existed when I was growing up!”

Holiday programs

Whether attending a confidence-building 1 Day Workshop or an immersive 3 Day Camp experience, children are supported through fun and meaningful activities designed to build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

To help create a positive experience for all participants, your child should feel comfortable participating and engaging within a group setting of up to 30 children.

3 DAY CAMP

Our 3 Day Camps are designed for children aged 7 - 12 Years Old and provide a deeper and more immersive wellbeing experience across three meaningful days of learning, connection and growth.

Throughout the camp, children explore a wide range of wellbeing topics with our Youth Coaches, along with meeting and learning from external wellbeing guest presenters.

Many families find the multi day format allows their child to put into practice the tools and strategies they are developing, plus build stronger connections, feel increasingly comfortable within the group environment and develop greater confidence, emotional resilience and social awareness over time.

1 DAY WORKSHOP

Our 1 Day Workshops are designed to give children a positive boost in confidence, emotional wellbeing and social connection in a fun and supportive environment.

Across the day, children explore three key wellbeing topics and learn practical tools and strategies they can begin using straight away in everyday life, at home, with friendships and school situations.

Workshops are thoughtfully divided into two age groups:

5 - 6 Year Olds
7 - 12 Year Olds

This allows activities, discussions and support strategies to remain age appropriate and engaging for each stage of development.

It takes a village

Our programs are designed to support not only children, but families too.

Through the consistency and accessibility of our ongoing Holiday Programs, where our topics change every school holidays, parents can feel reassured knowing they are not doing this alone.

At the end of each program, we invite parents to attend a special parent presentation where children proudly help share the topics, activities and strategies explored throughout the program.

Along with children’s take-home folders, families also receive online access to each topic resource after each program, helping families continue important conversations and learning at home.

Help your child feel confident these holidays

Because confidence isn’t built by hoping kids “figure it out.”

Our Holiday Programs are a chance for your child to step into the school holidays feeling supported, uplifted and connected.

Through fun, meaningful and age-appropriate activities, we help children build the tools they need to navigate friendships, emotions, challenges and change with greater confidence.
