Summer Adventures,
where friendships are made.
This Summer, your child will form bonds with new and old friends and our caring sKids team. They’ll discover the joy of crafting and giving, building connections as they gift something special to someone they love. Our journey extends into our community, where we’ll explore the beauty of our surroundings and meet the friendly locals who make our summers so unforgettable. Get ready for a summer like no other, where your child will glow with new friendships, community spirit, and the irresistible charm of our Kiwi Summer!

The care, the varied activities and the fact that I can carry on working with complete confidence that my child is well looked after.parent, sKids St Theresa’s Karori
My daughter loved coming to your holiday programme! The facilitators were so welcoming and approachable. They know all the children well and provide a fun and safe environment. She quickly made friends and really enjoyed herself. She will be back next holidays for sure! Parent, sKids Kapiti
My Daughter always came home happy from skids and would tell me about all the fun stuff she got up to while she was there. She always had a positive experience with skids so for that I’m very grateful.Parent, sKids Hamilton East
The sKids team are so friendly! They look after a large group of kids, and I was impressed by how quickly they learnt not only the kids’ names, but who their parents are. They always greet me with a smile. It’s those sorts of little details that show me my son is in a safe, caring environment. He loves sKids too!Parent, sKids Oxford Crescent
