Exceptional Holiday Club in South Somerset
We welcome all young people who are happy and able to manage in a group environment without 1:1 support.
Attendees from Reception* to Year 7 follow a fun, theme based programme, with lots of time outdoors being active, at our beautiful Frogmary Green Farm Base in South Petherton, just five minutes from the A303. We support autonomy, so if someone doesn’t want to join in something, they are welcome to play, read, get creative with the art supplies or just take some time out and watch.
* (we welcome children to join in the summer holiday preceeding their Septermber school start as long as they are toilet trained)
We are located within a 20 minute drive from Yeovil, Ilminster, Chard and Crewkerne and under 25 minutes from Langport, Somerton and Beaminster and just 35 minutes from Taunton.
Staying Active, Teamwork and Problem Solving
We go outside as much as possible and use sports, games and challenges to encourage healthy physical activity and as a way to have fun, build self-confidence and teamwork skills. Activities are relaxed and flexible and if someone wants to chill out and do a self-run activity and just watch – thats fine!
Creativity for Everyone
All young people are encouraged to explore their creative side – whatever they use – paint, pens, crafty bits, leaves, twigs, clay, icing pens, cardboard or Lego – all that matters is having a go and having fun.
Themed Sessions
We run up to 60 days of holiday club every year – so we use themes to help us ensure sessions are varied, interesting and appealing to young people. Topics cover International, History, Popular Culture, Cooking, Adventure, Nature and much more! Young people don’t have to love the theme to come along, as the day is always varied and with access to a varity of books, games, equipment and craft supplies.

Our Ethos
Rama Youth encourage young people to form their own opinions and learn how to respect others, that may differ from them. We encourage discussion and debate in a positive way. We do not promote or deny any religion, faith or belief system and we are always interested in hearing about the international links that many of our attendees have.
We promote the ethos that art is a personal thing and doesn’t need to be compared to others. If you want it to look different, then just keep practicing and remember, that what you may see as “failure”, is just part of the road to success.
We actively encourage being physically active, having good self-care and building communication skills.
