Why FRKC is the right choice for your after school activities in Brisbane
Childhood is to be lived and, with permission, to be messy and creative around others. It should be fun, loud and messy without pressure. It is for creating, expressing and using imaginations without being afraid to make mistakes. All with some adult supervision, of course!
Our facilitators have the necessary qualifcations to work with children, so you can rest easy knowing your kids are having fun and are in safe hands.
At FRKC our overarching belief is to have FUN, in a safe and supervised environment, while connecting with others. We hope to make a myriad of experiences accessible for all families.
When you book Free Range Kids for your after school activities, you are
choosing real people, real connections and real fun for your kids.

Our Story
In response to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Michael swapped city life for six weeks of camping on their regional family farm.
This experience was life-changing as Michael and his wife watched their young daughters thrive and develop in response to the freedom that comes with unstructured play in the great outdoors.
This invaluable time highlighted the importance of experiences like these for children.
The idea of Free Range Kids Club (FRKC) was born.
Kids love getting out there and having fun, while their parents love seeing their kids engaged and their confidence grow. Most parents understandably do not have the time nor the skills to formally organise play-based learning experiences for their kids.
FRKC carefully curates facilitators who offer a wide range of fun-filled and engaging after school activities and school holiday programs in Brisbane and makes them accessible to primary school-aged kids in a range of locations.
Our Why
Like all parents, at FRKC we want what’s best for our kids.
The environment in which we are raising our children differs to the one we grew up in – screen time is a consistent worry, replacing time once spent engaged outdoors and socialising.
Research shows the negative effects of passive screen time include:
- Impacts on sleep;
- Impacts on cognition and literacy;
- Impacts on the ability to make friends and problem solve; and
- Increased rates in anxiety and depression.
It is hard not to be overwhelmed! But our team understands that life is busy, expectations are high and that there are many limitations faced by parents and children today.
