There really is something for everyone during the October School Holiday week.
Clackmannanshire Council's Sports Development Department has linked with other Council Services, local sports clubs and local activity providers to create an exciting action packed programme for the duration of the October school holidays.
The programme of activities, entitled Active Autumn, will run Saturday, 13th October until Sunday, 21st October and are for pre-school children, children aged 5-12 years, secondary aged pupils and adults.
Clackmannanshire Council's Convener of Sports and Leisure, Councillor Ellen Forson said: " Sports Development and Leisure have come together to create a nine day programme of activities for the October week. It is a varied and exciting programme for all the children in the area over the school holidays, and the first time that Sport and Leisure have provided such a programme during this particular holiday break."
Active Autumn is focused on the Lornshill Academy campus, as it boasts first-class sporting facilities, and can cater for a wide range of programmes at one time.
Councillor Forson added: "Our activities run throughout the holiday period, with something to suit everyone with a flexible programme. Our valued team don't just maximise their people skills, they use their technical abilities to the full. They also ensure your time is action packed, fun, safe and enjoyable."
Among the many activities on offer during the packed nine day programme for active teens, aged 12-18 are, urban rebounding, a basketball camp, girls and boys rugby (under-18s), Peer Education training for the 13s and over, badminton, a music workshop, Young Scot Champions Academy and cake decorating.
There will also be an exciting badminton tournament held on Day Nine, Sunday, 21st October, for the under-16s. It will take place in the Games Hall from 10am until 4pm.
Family activities include urban rebounding for eight years and over.
The active adults programme is also packed with a variety of fabulous events, including pilates, yoga/pilates, Tai Chi, Fitter Fellas (men only), Boot Camp and aerobic conditioning.
A music workshop will take place three afternoons during the week, whilst the more creative can try their hand at cake decorating, which is being offered to the 12 year-olds and over age group.
The Young Scot Champions Academy will also be offering Young Scot Rewards points for young people aged 12 - 25 years participating in the programme. Make sure you have signed up for the Young Scot Cards.
