🐾 Frequently Asked Questions 🌿

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about Jungle Explorers Holiday Club.

Who can come to the holiday club?

Jungle Explorers is open to all primary school children aged 5–11 (Reception to Year 6). Everyone is welcome – you don’t need to attend church to join in the fun!

When and where is it happening?

The holiday club runs on:
📅 Wednesday 20th – Friday 22nd August
🕘 Time: 9:45am – 12:15pm
📍 Location: Christ Church Colchester, Ireton Road, CO3 3AT

How much does it cost?

The club is free to attend, and we’re so happy to offer it as a gift to our community. However, if you’d like to support us, donations are gratefully received to help cover the cost of materials, snacks, and activities.

Do my child(ren) need to attend all three days?

We kindly ask that children attend all three days of Jungle Explorers Holiday Club if possible.
Each day is part of a connected adventure, and being there for the full journey helps children build friendships, join in all activities, and get the most out of their jungle experience!

Can children under 5 attend the Holiday Club?

Unfortunately, Jungle Explorers Holiday Club is designed for children aged 5 and above.
For safety and activity suitability, we’re not able to accommodate under 5s—but we hope to see them on a future adventure when they’re a little older!

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, places are limited – so we encourage you to sign up now to avoid disappointment.

Will there be food?

We’ll provide a biscuit each day. Please let us know about any allergies or dietary needs when signing up.

Who is running the club?

The club is run by experienced children’s leaders and volunteers from Christ Church. All adults are DBS checked, and we follow safeguarding best practices.

Can parents stay?

The club is designed for children to attend on their own, but parents are warmly invited to join us for the Celebration Service on Sunday 24th August at 9:30am at Christ Church!

What happens at the Celebration Service?

It’s a joyful, family-friendly church service where we share songs, photos, and stories from the week. It’s a lovely way to wrap up the adventure and for families to see what we’ve been up to!
