Teenz
Teenz is Playscheme grown up a little. The oldest division, for ages 12 to 14, gets more independence, later-feeling days and the kind of trips younger children aren't ready for.
How Teenz works
Teenz run in two sections, Red and Blue, with volunteers who treat them like the young adults they nearly are. The programme is built around doing things together rather than being looked after.
Trips and adventures
A typical Teenz week includes:
- Manhunt, the legendary wide game
- A day of outdoor activities
- Swimming
- Roller skating
- TenPin bowling
On site
Back on site, Teenz have their own take on the week, including the Teenz Disco, and they join the whole scheme for the Big Show and the end-of-scheme party.
What comes next
Teenz is where the next generation of the scheme comes from. Many of our volunteers were Teenz themselves. When your child ages out at 14, volunteering is the way back in.
