Give your child a summer they’ll remember at the Grey Lynn Community Centre’s Creative Summer Days – January 2026 Holiday Programme. Designed for kids aged 5–13, our programme is all about hands-on arts and crafts, with a couple of fun park and water-play days added in for extra adventure.

Each day offers a new creative theme – from collage, tie-dye caps, patchwork art and string-pull painting through to sponge printing, scratch art, mosaics, pastels and paints. We also have special workshop days like Art Magic with Deahne and Bongo Drumming, plus trips to Grey Lynn Park, movie time back at the Centre, and a big water games + ice blocks afternoon to round out the holidays.

With centre-based care from 8.00am, options for early pick-up or full days, and experienced staff who know how to keep kids engaged, you can relax knowing your child is safe, happy and busy creating (not glued to a screen!). We accept WINZ OSCAR subsidies, and bookings are confirmed once enrolment and payment are completed through Enrolmy.

Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your child’s spot in our January 2026 Creative Summer Days programme.
