Free School Holiday Kids Club: 14-17 April

April 9, 2026 By Roxane Manley

There is no excuse for young people in Parkes to be bored these school holidays, with a free Kids Club running from Tuesday 14 to Friday 17 April at 1 Talbot St, Parkes, from 10am – 12 noon and the best part is it’s free to attend for all kids aged 4 years – 12 years.

Co-ordinated by STORM Co, Kids Club is a total blast, with pup­pets, clowns, skits, games, crafts, singing, Bible stories, parachute activity, balloons, face painting and so much more – all for free.

What’s more there’s a free coffee shop for parents and carers, of­fering hot drinks and delicious treats. The friendly team will make you feel very welcome.

STORM Co was created in 1995 on the Gold Coast, based on the concept of young people serving their communities via kids clubs, yard clean ups, and generally helping the community wher­ever they can. The idea quickly spread throughout Australia, with STORM Co’s now operating around the world, usually run by young people from big cities, to help out small country towns.

The Adventist church and Sanitarium both sponsor Kids Club, and there are many individual STORM Co teams around Australia that run these events each year. For instance, a STORM Co team from Wollongong visit Condobolin each year to run a Kids Club and serve the community in many other ways too.

Everyone is welcome to come along to the free Kids Club and parents are encouraged to enjoy the free coffee shop. Assuming that Kids Club is a success in Parkes during the April school holi­days, STORM Co plan to run a monthly kids club on the first Sat­urday of each month. Keep an eye out for this!
