The Tween Tribe is an award winning day tripper kids club, proudly ranked at 29 in the UK’s TOP 100 Children’s Activity Providers!
We all know superheroes don’t always wear capes. But the founder of Tween Tribe knows tween parents deserve one.
For working parents, the holidays can always be a challenge. Balancing quality time with childcare gets tougher as the children get older – all too quickly the much-loved arts and crafts clubs can no longer accommodate them.
By the time your child reaches their early teens, it’s trickier to find age appropriate actives where they are less supervised, are more autonomous, involving much needed bigger adventures. Not only that, your tween is faced with secondary school and all the social skills needed to thrive there. This is why I created The Tween Tribe. A unique club keeping your tweens safe, happy, making friends, off their screens, building confidence, exploring the real world and having the best day ever!
Hi. This is Kate, founder of The Tween Tribe.
We are all the same! We want our children off their screens, out of trouble, safe, happy, making friends and having an amazing time.
Ticking all these boxes when your child hits the tween years is not easy! Believe me, I’ve been there, and that’s exactly why I created The Tween Tribe!
No more FOMO and boredom.
Everyone gets to feel a bit more grown up and independent. Nothing “babyish” here!
No more loneliness, a chance to make friends and belong.
This is the important bit. The watchful eye of the leader with a million safety policies in place while they interact with the cool, fun teen helpers.
I hope to meet your lovely tween soon. Please ask me anything! I don’t mind, I would have loads of questions too if I was sending my child off to something new!
They say it takes a village to raise a child, I am just so happy that The Tween Tribe can be part of that village.
