Activities at Lee Valley VeloPark
While the venue is famous for cycling, our Rising Stars camp brings a full multi-activity experience to Stratford. We ensure children aren’t just doing one thing all day.
A typical day involves a mix of physical activity and creative downtime. We might run a high-energy “Mini-Olympics” tournament involving running and relay races, followed by a calming arts session where children design their own medals. It is the perfect choice for parents searching for holiday clubs near me that offer a premium, safe environment in East London.
Activities are Adapted by Age & Confidence Level
Younger children get extra support, familiar routines and gentle encouragement.
Older children enjoy more choice, team challenges and skill-building activities.
Every child is helped to feel included, confident and ready to join in.
