South Africa, 05 March 2026: As the Easter holidays approach, many parents face the challenge of finding meaningful ways to keep their children engaged and active, particularly as more households balance work and family life. According to local insights, school holiday care remains one of the biggest pressure points for working parents during peak holiday periods, with holiday clubs emerging as a practical and enriching solution that offers children experiences they’ll remember long after the holidays end.
“The school holidays are an opportunity for children to break free from the routine of the school day, try completely new things, and discover what they’re capable of,” says Dorita Correia, Chief Operating Officer of Total Ninja Group, Africa’s largest Obstacle and Inflatable Adventure Park. “A well-designed holiday club doesn’t just entertain children, it keeps them active while developing lifelong social skills, from independence to resilience.”
Here’s why holiday clubs, such as the upcoming Total Ninja Holiday Club, are so valuable for kids of all ages.
1. Social Skills and Confidence
Holiday clubs provide children with a safe and engaging space to meet peers outside of their usual social circles. They get the opportunity to build on their confidence, work in teams, and navigate shared challenges. Whether it’s collaborating on a creative task or tackling an obstacle course together, these small social interactions build emotional resilience and self-assurance in a supportive setting.
2. Healthy Independence
Holiday programmes give children a sense of independence. Following a schedule, keeping track of their belongings, and making simple choices within a supervised environment strengthen their decision-making skills and self-belief.
3. Active Bodies Support Active Minds
Physical play is more than just fun. Climbing, balancing, running and problem-solving through obstacle challenges improve coordination, fitness and focus. Movement also reduces stress in children, boosts their mood and supports better sleep. This way, children feel refreshed and ready to learn.
4. A Screen-Time Reset
School holidays can easily become ‘device holidays’ where children get caught up watching TV or playing online games. Structured programmes like the Total Ninja Holiday Club provide a dynamic alternative where children stay mentally engaged without defaulting to digital entertainment.
5. Creativity, Teamwork and Resilience
A well-structured holiday club combines movement with imagination. Total Ninja’s Holiday Club, children get to enjoy Ninja skill drills and strength circuits alongside creative activities such as Ninja mask decorating and collaborative team murals. Daily team games and friendly tournaments encourage communication, sportsmanship and leadership, while overcoming challenges helps children build resilience and confidence in their abilities.

Part of what the food industry does with Public Relations, just like the chemical industry or the oil industry, is to try to erase their fingerprints from their messaging. So when consumers hear about a recent effort like the \”food dialogues\” put on by a group called the US Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, do they know necessarily that these \”dialogues\” are being funded by companies like Monsanto, a large chemical company and the controller of most of the patents on genetically modified seeds? No, they don\’t. – Anna Lappe

People who worked with me or knew me still called me the \’world\’s fastest human\’ because I almost never stopped. I\’d found that I could get more done with no regular job or regular hours at all, but by being on my own, flying to speak here, help with a Public Relations campaign for some client there, tape my regular jazz radio show one morning at 5:00 a.m. before leaving on a plane for another city or another continent three hours later to preside over a major sporting event. – Jesse Owens
