There’s something for young people of all ages and abilities including: football, arts and crafts, swimming, martial arts, theatre shows, circus skills, family fun days, dance, mountain biking, treasure hunts, snorkelling, music, gymnastics, cheerleading, surfing, storytelling, discos…plus lots more.
Activities are available in local leisure centres, swimming pools, schools, libraries, and community facilities, Bryngarw Country Park, the Berwyn Centre, Nantymoel and the Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl and range from free of charge to different priced events. Some leisure centre-based sessions are also provided at a discounted rate with a Bridge Kids card.
Councillor Lyn Morgan, Cabinet Member for Wellbeing said: “Bridgend County Borough Council is proud to offer a wide range of new children’s activities for summer 2010. Our carefully-planned programme will give young people the chance to try a variety of fun activities that will keep them both physically and mentally active over the holiday period.
