Holistic Kidz has launched its sell-out Summer Forest Camp and for the first time will be joined by some of Northern Ireland’s leading professional sportspeople to help inspire and encourage children to ‘Believe to Achieve’.

The award-winning camp will return to Barnett Demesne in Belfast from Monday 3rd July – Tuesday 29th August and runs Monday to Friday from 10am – 3pm.

There will be lots of action-packed fun and outdoor adventure for children aged three to 12 including forest trekking, bushcraft, mega mudslides, mud bath jumping, tree swinging, nature arts & crafts, colour run assault courses, pro-football and rugby sports star camp visits, positive affirmations & mindfulness fun, scavenger hunts, planting & potting, a weekly Pizza Co. campfire party and Friday prize giving ceremony and much more!

Northern Ireland football legend Niall McGinn is the first special guest to be announced. Whilst well-known personal trainer Neil Anderson will be returning to put the Holistic Kidz through their paces with weekly Woodland Workouts.

Colette McCartney, Founder of Holistic Kidz said: “Building confidence and inner self belief is at the heart of everything we do at Holistic Kidz and we encourage all children to ‘Believe to Achieve’. This summer, we are teaming up with some of Northern Ireland’s best known professional athletes and sports stars who will share their incredible stories with our Holistic Kidz to show how they believed in their dreams and because of this, have each gone on to achieve great success and accomplished their goals.”

“Scandinavian countries are ranked the healthiest and happiest in the world and one of the reasons behind this is that from a young age children are taught outdoors in all weather conditions. Our Summer Forest Camp takes place in the great outdoors, and rain, hail or shine, children will be able to avail of the many proven scientific benefits of this including increased energy levels, physical fitness, improved mood and focus and running around breathing in the fresh air always ensures a good night’s sleep!

There is no better place for children to thrive as they will learn new skills, build their confidence, boost their creativity and enquiring mind and develop essential problem-solving skills and independence,” Colette added.

An Holistic Kidz Weekly Explorer pass (Monday – Friday) is £127 per child and a Daily Explorer pass is £35 per child.
