Summer All Abilities School Holiday Program

The Cahoots All Abilities School Holiday Program offers a range of fun and engaging activities for participants aged 5 to 17 years.

Designed to provide exciting recreational experiences in a supportive, inclusive, and welcoming environment, the program is all about having fun, trying new things, building confidence, and making new friends. Participants are encouraged to explore their interests, develop social skills, and engage with their community while being supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff.

How it Works

The Cahoots All Abilities School Holiday Program encourages young people to connect with their community through a variety of sports, recreation, and social activities. Participants are supported to explore new experiences in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment.

Each session operates with small participant groups and is supported by a team of Cahoots staff and volunteers.

Programs operate from our Bayswater and Wembley locations, with volunteers allocated to a specific site prior to their shift.

Program hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm. Volunteers will receive a 30-minute break during the day. Food, water, transport, and access to all activities are provided for both participants and volunteers.

Activities May Include

• Excursions
• Community events
• Social outings
• Recreational activities
• Dining out and café visits
• Sports and physical activities such as swimming, basketball, dance, trampolining, and more

Please note that activities may vary between days based on participant interests, weather conditions, and program requirements.
