What does the club provide?

It provides the children with age appropriate Crafts, Bible Stories, Drama, Singing, Games and above all – lots of fun!

The club is based around a different exciting theme each year and in previous years it has taken us exploring in the Jungle, riding the Rocky Rapids, or even up into space and time travelling.

The week of fun is rounded off with a barbecue for the children and their families on the Friday evening.

All four churches of Olney (see below) come together as The Combined Churches of Olney to organise this event for the children of Olney and surrounding area.

It is run by a large team of volunteers drawn from the churches and elsewhere.
