Fun & Educational Holiday Clubs
TYoung people who have started in Reception, up until they start Year 8, follow a fun, theme based programme, with lots of time outdoors being active, at our beautiful Frogmary Green Farm location in South Petherton, just five minutes from the A303.
Two Groups for Twice the Fun!
Young people are divided into two groups by age and are offered a programme of activities that provide interest and challenge at their level. They generally stay in these groups for activities and play-time, however we do bring them together at times and our premises is the perfect size that they can have space, but no one is ever far away! Siblings are welcome to be together, and we ensure the group is most suitable for the youngest one 🙂
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 fresh, interesting and all have learning opportunities – our themes are chosen by young people who attend!
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 interesting – quite often they discover something new they didn’t realise they enjoyed!
* (we welcome children to join once they have started school, as long as they are fully 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.

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.
