Council urgesyoung to enjoysummer fun

A DIVERSE summer programme has been organised by Derry City Council to ensure local children enjoy an action-packed 2011 summer season.

The history and heritage of the city can be explored with visits to the Guildhall, Foyle Valley Railway and the Award winning Tower Museums. Or why not learn about the natural habitat of our city with Butterfly and Wildflower training in the city’s parks?

There’s a fantastic range of options for sports loving kids as Summer Camps will be taking place across the city’s leisure centre sites and in various community centres across the council area. Specialist Camps in Soccer, GAA and Swimming are also on offer while the multi sport camps offers a wide range of sports and activities for children of all ages including wall-climbing, badminton, tennis, racquetball and table tennis.

Mayor Alderman Maurice Devenney said there was no excuse for any child to be bored over the summer break.

“With so much choice on offer you can ensure your child enjoys round the clock entertainment this summer. Its important that parents and guardians do all they can to promote an active and healthy lifestyle and by registering with some of the summer camps or taking a walk to the park, you can help make the summer holidays a fun occasion for everyone.”
