how unbordz works

Making holidays count

We have two different types of activity days running throughout the week. Most weeks we will be based at EX5 Alive Hub between Monday and Friday. Then for our special event days we will be out taking part in an experience day or visiting a theme park. These days will run sporadically throughout school holidays depending on the demand. The main thing is young people can take part is as many activities as they like. They’re in control.

All of our activity days run from 8:30am – 4:00pm. From just £30 a day your teen will enjoy a vibrant mix of:

Full day activity sessions

monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday & friday

Throughout the week we will be based at EX5 Alive Hub in Cranbrook, we will offer a range of activities for your child. This can range from activities such as chocolate workshops, pizza making, water balloon fights in the country park and much more! We also offer a range of quiet activities for young people.

Why parents love Unbordz

Safe & Supervised – We provide a structured, fully-supervised environment; ideal for working parents who want peace of mind.

Social Connection – Teens thrive when they’re around peers. Our sessions help build friendships and reduce screen-time boredom.

Designed by a Parent – Founded by Kay Haslam, a local parent of two teens, Unbordz is shaped by real-life experience and a deep understanding of what teenagers actually enjoy.

Fully Inclusive – We welcome all teens, including those with special educational needs, ensuring every young person can join in and feel part of the group.

Important booking information

Please book your young person onto our activity days in advance. Please book on by 8pm on the Wednesday before you want your child to attend. For example, to book onto week 1, please book by Wednesday the 16th July.

We need to have a minimum of 8 young people to be booked on each day to run this holiday provision. Staff are booked each week on Thursday for the following week which means we can’t have people turn up on the day and book in. This is vital to ensure our attendees safety and keeping our staff ratios.
