The Active Summer Programme gets underway on 1st July, offering a wide range of activities for children and young people during the summer break.
The Clacksfun programme has been extended and for the first time it brings together activities at Alloa Leisure Bowl and Ochil Leisure Centre, making it easier for parents to see what is available, and when.
The popular Activity Camp for 5-13 year olds is back at Alva and Lornshill Academies. Both camps are for children aged between 5-13 with events taking place each day from 8.30am until 4.30pm.
Education, Sport and Leisure Convener, Councillor Ellen Forson said: "Our activity camps are jam packed with exciting activities, including arts and crafts, a bouncy castle and a whole range of sporting activities including table tennis, football, badminton, fun fitness sessions, team games and quizzes. I would encourage many of our young people in Clackmannanshire to get along, get involved and above all, have a fun an Active Summer."
Kidzone out of school care in Alloa boasts a fantastic programme of workshops including baking, woodwork, jewellery making, graffiti art, drama and dance, circus skills and many more.
