Half Term offers all the amazing experiences of a Le Pas Opton summer holiday but with lower prices, starting at just £410 for a family of four including Dover-Calais ferry crossings*.

Running Saturday to Saturday, this is an action-packed week that is fun for all the family. With morning children’s and youth programmes provided by the Youth for Christ team led by Beth Newman and Sam Hughes, a packed afternoon and evening activities programme and all the amazing facilities on site to enjoy, your Half Term holiday with us will be unforgettable!

There will be loads going on in the children’s groups this week with games, drama, crafts, songs and more, all while learning about Jesus. The evening gatherings offer fantastic family fun, with all-age activities and lively worship. Don’t worry, teenagers will have a great time too with activities and space for them to be themselves.

Flexibility

The programme is set to run for Saturday arrivals and departures, but you can stay extra days at a low nightly rate. You can even come Sunday-Sunday if that works better for you. Online bookings can only be made Saturday-Saturday though: call us on 01825 748318 to book other options.
