There\u2019s also a Christmas in July Party in between. The OOSH team knows that children love parties as they provide them with an opportunity to celebrate and have fun with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incursions and excursions are scheduled across vacation care that will cater to varying interests. In the first week, the Petting Zoo is back. Everyone enjoyed seeing and touching animals last holidays, so the OOSH team arranged to have them visit again. Exergames are running a sports camp and Funday Out a Science vs Art battle and Silly Slinky drama workshop. It\u2019ll be a week of surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"615\" data-id=\"17254\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo.jpeg 921w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/06\/Petting-Zoo-225x150.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Week 2, the children are going bowling.
