Holiday Club 2025!
23rd-25th July
10am – 1pm
St Andrew’s Church
Put on your hiking boots and grab your rucksacks... don't forget to pack the insect repellent! Join with other young explorers on an intrepid jungle adventure this summer and discover more about Jesus along the way.
Jungle Run Holiday Club is three, action-packed mornings of learning and fun for primary school aged children (Reception – Year 6 in the 2024-25 academic year). Each morning we'll spend time all together and in our small groups exploring some of the stories of Jesus in Luke's Gospel. There will also be lots of songs, crafts, games and other activities to get involved with. Each child will be assigned to a small group with designated leaders who will look out for them and be available if they have any questions or worries during the sessions.
When and where is it?
Jungle Run Holiday Club is running at St Andrew's Church in Keighley town centre from Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th July, 10am-1pm each day. After the final session on Friday 25th families are invited to join us for lunch (details will be sent out nearer
the time).
We'll provide a mid-morning snack of drinks and biscuits and will end each session with lunch (sandwiches, fruit etc). We just ask that your child brings a water bottle if possible, as that makes things easier and avoids spillages.

For safeguarding and capacity reasons we can't let parents stay with their children unless they are a member of the team. If you'd like to help with the holiday club please see the information about 'Joining the Team' further down this page.

Not at all, but you need to be aware that this is a Christian holiday club which will include Bible teaching, worship songs and prayer. We want to give children the opportunity to find out about the Christian faith and explore their own beliefs. There won't be any pressure on children to do or say anything they're not comfortable with.

We will endeavour to cater for additional needs wherever possible. Several of our team have training and experience working with additional needs children and we will have one person with specific oversight of this area. The whole holiday club takes place within the main church worship space, but we’ll have a supervised ‘quiet zone’ for children who need a bit of time away from the main activities.
Please let us know about any additional needs on your registration form so we are aware and can look to put things in place. We will be in touch with you nearer the time to find out more about the support your child might need. If you have any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss first please contact kathryn@keighleyparish.org
