The Best Summer

Massive thank you to Peter Young, Aberdeenshire Council and all the wonderful playworkers who made this possible.

As a working mum of two children with Autism these summer camps and activities have been an absolute godsend.

We have attended all the camps (Ellon and Meldrum) and my children have tried so many different activities.

My son doesn't usually entertain the idea of clubs but he has managed the whole 7 weeks and it really wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful staff who encouraged him. And he ended up having the best time.

My daughter has also attended all the camps and so many different activities, she has tried her hand at cheerleading, tennis, jogging and multisports .

This has been great for the children in giving them new opportunities, gaining confidence, learning new skills and socialising but it has also been a godsend for me. I am self employed and especially given the current situation with Covid I really couldn't afford to take time off work. I don't have family to rely on but thanks to the camps I was able to continue working.

I honestly struggle to put into words how much I appreciate everyone who has made these camps and activities possible.

I have never seen such a selection of children's activities in the Shire and I really do hope these continue in the holidays.

I now have two children who don't want to go back to school as they have enjoyed these clubs so much.

Charlotte says she has had the best summer holidays!!!
