Designed especially for children under ten from across the Armed Forces community, whether based in the UK or overseas, these online sessions bring military children together for fun, creativity, and connection.

The autumn line-up features an exciting mix of activities, including; Dance lessons, Live baking classes, Science experiments, Space adventures, Animal encounters and Art sessions.
