End the Summer on a High with Lisburn & Castlereagh Sports Camps

Local children have been making the most of the school holidays with weeks of fun and excitement at the annual ‘Summer in the City’ programme delivered by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council.

The action-packed summer schemes have taken place at venues including Lagan Valley LeisurePlex, Dundonald International Ice Bowl, Lough Moss Leisure Centre and Glenmore Activity Centre.

Children have enjoyed a wide range of activities and sports tailored to different age groups. Many schemes also include two exciting off-site trips each week, offering great value for money and even more fun for children.

Sports courses are also delivered across the council area, giving young people the chance to try a new sport.

Visiting some of the summer schemes and sports camps, Councillor Tim Mitchell, Chairman of the Communities and Wellbeing Committee, said, "We understand how important it is to keep children active for their health and wellbeing. Our schemes and sports camps not only encourage physical fitness, but also help young people form new friendships, build confidence and develop valuable social skills.

"There’s still time for families to get involved before the new school year begins. We have spaces remaining in some of our most popular sports camps, including Jag Tag and Racquet Camp. These courses are a great way for children to try something new, have fun and end the summer on a real high.”
