The Active Holidays consist of themed courses designed according to the time of year, which are open to children from 18 months to 12 years of age, with unique and fun activities in our beautiful facilities.
Participants enjoy recreational activities in a controlled, safe environment with professionals who specialise in stimulating all the children’s abilities. It is also an opportunity to make friends and encourage healthy coexistence. Food (lunch and snack) and materials are included in each course, if any child has a special dietary situation we take it into account.
For students who will be part of the SEK Big Family for the first time, it is an ideal place to familiarise themselves and get to know their new school with greater confidence and security.
