IMPs holiday clubs brings musical magic this summer!
It’s summer time, and IMPs Holiday Clubs are back for a musical treat!
We've got six holiday clubs for you this summer from a sensory seaside session, through to moving and grooving. We can’t wait to hear what amazing sounds you all come up with!
Musical Journeys - Wednesday 29th July, 1:30-3:30pm
Use your imagination to canoe on mighty rivers, walk up crumbling volcanoes and swim in deep dark lakes. We’ll be singing songs and playing instruments to create our very own music!
Our woodland room will be available throughout so you can take a breather and chill out.
A Day at The Seaside - Wednesday 5th August, 1:30-3:30pm
Join Becky from Thunk-It on a seaside adventure! Filled with songs, drama, games and sensory exploration! From waking up to getting to the seaside, we'll explore our day through song and drama.
We’ll also have our chill out space, where you can take a break and relax with seaside props and scenes.
Play The Line - Wednesday 12th August, 1:30-3:30pm
Get ready to stick tape on the floor to create jaggedy lines, use nature to create patterns, or squiggle on paper with Griselda. Anna will then take your line or squiggle on a musical journey with you. Will the sticks and leaves be jazzy, or rocky? Will the squiggle be loud or quiet?
Immersive Gardens - Wednesday 19th August, 1:30-3:30pm
Gather round a crackling campfire to hear a story about a buzzing bee and his pals. Together we'll play games, explore touch sensory props, smells and instruments and create multi-layered soundscapes. After the story, we’ll explore more campfire songs, stories and games together.
Musical Games - Wednesday 26th August, 1:30-3:30pm
Join Jodie to find what sounds you'll make as you climb the ladders or slide down a snake or find the right notes to complete a musical twister! There'll be teams and champions, and you’ll need your creative ideas to win!
We’ll also have our chill out space, where you can take a break and relax or try your hand at a sensory puzzle.
Moving, Grooving Pictures - Wednesday 2nd September, 1:30-3:30pm
With Emily, Karen from Mesh Dance and Jodie, we’ll be inspired by the bold shapes of Picasso and the energetic, colourful artwork of Nnena Kalu. We’ll combine music and movement to create our own art work. There’s no right or wrong way to join in. Just bring your energy, ideas, and a sense of adventure! The canvas room will be open for you to chill out in, or create your own gentle art through our sensory props.
iMUSE
iMUSE is our 1-1 interactive multisensory and relaxation session. Young people can have a 20 minute session alongside the main holiday club activity. Let us know if you’d like a session with Hannah.
Where will sessions be happening?
All our holiday clubs will take place at Accessible Arts & Media, Clifton Explore, Rawcliffe Drive, York YO30 6NS
The building is accessible, with a Changing Places toilet.
There is free parking on-site, including four disabled parking bays. If the car park is full, there is plenty of on-street parking.
Who are the sessions aimed at?
Our IMPs holiday clubs are suitable for children and young people with learning disabilities age 8+. (If you fall outside of this age bracket but would still like to come, please contact us for a chat).
Our holiday clubs are inclusive, and you don't need any previous musical experience to take part.
Please note that we do not provide 1 - 1 support. If you need this, please bring your own support or contact us to discuss.
How much do they cost?
Sessions are £12 but we never want money to be a barrier to taking part. We have sibling discounts and fully subsidised places available - please get in touch if these apply.
