Summer activities for children

Smile club is a multi activity summer scheme located in the city centre of Belfast at R.B.A.I. school. This Belfast summer school is one of the few Northern Ireland summer schemes to offer swimming as an onsite activity. Other activities of the scheme include a range of sports, arts and crafts, ICT and cooking. There is also an early drop off and late pick up facility alongside all the other summer activities for the children. For a great summer scheme to attend, Smile Club, also boasts well qualified and highly motivated staff.

The Scheme will be on the College Square East Campus at R.B.A.I. This located in Belfast City Centre.

The summer school is open to anyone. We have children from all parts of Belfast and the wider community participating. Children from lots of different schools are taking part.

Show off your skills

Talent show

The end of the week sees the annual talent show taking place. This is a great opportunity to show of the skills and practising from the week’s program. During the week the children have dancing and singing classes and are led by our expert staff. Dance routines are performed as well as group and individual singing performances. All the children are encouraged to take part in the event but it is by no means compulsory. The atmosphere and enjoyment is always fantastic and the children have great fun showing off their abilities.

A Perfect Summer at Smile Club
Sandra Wrobel
Smile Club was an absolute hit with my child! The camp was full of fun, engaging activities, and my child came home every day with big smiles and exciting stories. The ladies who run the camp were amazing—so warm, caring, and attentive. It was clear they truly love what they do, and it made all the difference. My child can't wait to return next summer. Highly recommend Smile Club for a fantastic, fun-filled experience!
Great!

My two children (7 & 9) were really happy to return for the whole summer. Staff were lovely and so welcoming. Great range of activities and they were exhausted st the end of each day!! They've asked if they can go back at Halloween because they enjoyed themselves so much!
Energy and Fun
Donna
Our 6 year old has been to a few camps now on recommendations from other parents and most importantly the kids! The children are met with energy and enthusiasm when they arrive and as a mum I appreciate the diligent admin and info that comes our way when booking.
Bangor Summer Camp

My two children (aged 7 & 5) were anxious about joining a summer club outside of the only one in Bangor that runs a full day camp. This one was excellent - the best all day camp in the area. Such a shame that it is only for 2 weeks in the summer. Well organised, varied, and fun. Would be great if there was more regular offerings of the sports/activities advertised on the flyers (or an update of available sporting options at diffierent sites). Keep up the great work!
Summer 2024 - fantastic

My two children attended the summer camp held in Bangor. Really good facilities at Bangor Grammar and the drop off and pick up times are excellent for working parents. Most importantly the kids had an absolute ball and are already asking to make sure I book them in next year. They were also very accommodating with my daughter who ended up in an arm cast during the summer. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.
