Registrations for Camden's Easter Holiday Activities and Food Programme 2026 are now open - book your places now!

Young Camden Foundation is excited to welcome children and young people back for another fantastic Camden Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme this spring. Funded by the Department for Education and Camden Council, Camden HAF offers free holiday activities, enriching experiences, and healthy meals for children and young people aged 5 to 16 who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.

Across the Easter holiday (30 March to 10 April 2026), there will be a wide range of activities to choose from - including sports, creative arts and hands-on learning opportunities delivered by trusted local providers in safe and supportive environments.

Young people can get active with sessions such as football, basketball, swimming, boxing, and jiu jitsu, or express their creativity through dance, pottery, crafting and music production classes. There are also opportunities to develop practical skills through cooking sessions and enjoy social experiences like trips to the cinema.

Every session includes a nutritious meal and opportunities for children to learn new skills, build confidence, make friends and have fun during the school break.

Places are limited and must be booked in advance, so families are encouraged to register early to secure their preferred activities. We look forward to seeing you!
