Activate s e r u t n e v d A Introduction to Activate
After School Club
Activate Adventures at LOPC is for young people aged 5 to 17 years. We are here to help you have a good time! You will be able to try things you have never tried before and our experienced Instructors will be able to help you develop skills and confidence in a safe and exciting environment.
The Activate After School Club is open to anyone between the ages of 5 (yr1) and 16. Arrival is from 3.30pm or via our school pick up service (where arranged).
With OFSTED registration, and being an Approved Centre by both the British Canoe Union and the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority you can feel confident to leave your children in our care. All our staff are experienced at making young people feel at home, and with a vast range of activities provided, each person will find plenty of activities they will enjoy and excel at.
The sessions start with ‘chill out’ time. This is a time to unwind after a long day at school, you can play games, read books and take part in creative activities , after this a snack is available (an example of which would be toast and squash). This is followed by a choice of activity sessions that last from 4.20pm until 5.30pm with collection between 5.30pm

Summer Scheme During the summer holiday there are the same multi activities as during the other holidays; however, these are run as complete week programmes so all activities can be done and we can build up a sense of ‘team spirit’. We also offer full day bookings for those who cannot attend a full week.
Award Scheme For those aged 12 years and above there is the opportunity to take part in the special Award Weeks during the summer holiday. This is an excellent chance to develop skills, learn new techniques and gain governing body awards. These are all a good lead into the Duke of Edinburgh Awards covering basic theory and safety elements. The award weeks all culminate in offsite activities at the end of the week.
Annual Events Throughout the year Activate coordinate various events for young people to take part in such as:
River trip to Abbey Park Sunflower Growing Competition Easter Egg Hunt Bonfire Party Christmas Party
Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre is set on a 15 acre site next to the River Soar, making it the perfect place for a wide range of exciting activities available for all abilities and experience levels. All activities are run by fully qualified Instructors. Our site is easily accessible and we have a hoist to enable people with reduced mobility to take part in water activities. We endeavour to be as flexible as possible to ensure your visit is highly enjoyable, and you will want to come back again and again!
