Get Your Children ACTIVE This May Half Term!

Still thinking about what to do when the kids break up for half term next week? We have got lots of activity clubs and exciting sessions running at Active Nation venues across the country.

Sign up for the week or just a day – we can be flexible.

All of the venues taking part have designed programmes that make the most of their facilities.

Our Alpine Snowsports Centres in Southampton and Aldershot are running lots of activities on their slopes – from half-day ski and snowboarding camps, to sledging, X Bobs and so much more. If you live far away, why not make a day of it and introduce your youngsters to the thrill of the slopes?

Great Britain’s Slopestyle Snowboarder Billy Morgan started his road to the Sochi Olympics when he visited Active Nation’s Alpine Snowsports Centre in Southampton as a child. He became hooked and hasn’t looked back since.

Southampton Water Activities Centre has got loads of adventures for kids to get involved in every school holidays. The team will take them out in the boats, teach them to sail and introduce them to life on the water!

But, if that’s too far to travel, give your local Active Nation venue a call as all of the clubs are designed to introduce children to a wide range of sports and exercise in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Plus it’s a good chance to meet some new friends.

As well as cricket, football and swimming, some venues will also be offering ultimate Frisbee, tennis, volleyball, obstacle courses and so much more.

If you need a chance to cool down in the hot weather, why not come for a swim in one of our pools? Many venues are also running intensive learn to swim lessons and children’s distance badges.

One parent from Lincoln has just called Yarborough Leisure Centre to book her children in. She said: “I had booked the week off work, but they said they’d rather be with you guys than at home with me. So I’m off back to work – I’ll take the time off in the summer and they can have fun with you!”

Another parent added: “My children had a fantastic time at the last holiday club – the staff were great with them. We will definitely be back!”

So what are you waiting for? Get in touch today and see what adventures your child can experience this half term. Chances are that they will have some more exciting stories to tell when they get back to school than if they had sat playing their Xbox or PlayStation all week!
