Free holiday activities in Devon – Adventure awaits with Skern Adventure centres

Adventure starts here. Through the Devon HAF programme, Skern Adventure Centres are proud to offer fully funded holiday sessions for eligible children aged 8–11 who receive free school meals.

Each session begins with a nutritious hot meal, followed by an exciting programme of outdoor adventure activities designed to build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. From climbing and problem-solving challenges to exploring the outdoors, every experience is delivered by our expert instructors in a safe, supportive environment.

Our HAF holiday clubs give children the opportunity to stay active, try new experiences, and make lasting friendships during the school holidays — all completely free for eligible families.
