    I felt incredibly fortunate that both my foster children were able to attend some half day camps and full day experiences. Having structured routines in the lengthy holidays was a significant support to them and us. Both absolutely loved the activities that they did and have asked to do them again.

    The mountain biking, hill walking and wilderness days were their favourite activities. Well done everyone involved for making summer of play so enjoyable.

    Both our children attended the sports camps for a total of 4 sessions each. They thoroughly enjoyed them and loved getting to meet new children. They got to try new activities and gave them a bit of routine too for the holidays. Spaces filled fast so it would have been easy to miss out. We also made use of the free family sessions at the sports centre to play badminton and basketball which was great. A fantastic opportunity. Thankyou to all that made it possible.

    Thankful for summer of play!

    by Rachael Patterson, over 3 years ago
    My foster child attended most days available in Aboyne and loved every minute!! She thrives on routine so even just something planned to get up for was great but she absolutely loved all the activities as well as staff. Also a wonderful opportunity for her to meet new friends! I was so grateful to have this and really hope it or something similar runs next year. Thank you to everyone involved!! She says extra thanks for zorbing and archery!

    The Summer of Play imitative has been great this year. Fab to try out new activities & also just taking time to go swimming. As others have said it has been hard to book sessions but I joined wait lists & got spaces sometimes. It’d be good to book spaces further forward than 7 days but equally understand that this could mean people booking places they may not attend & stop others booking. Not sure how you could get around this. All in all a great initiative though!

    Summer camps

    by Gillian , over 3 years ago
    My 6 year old used the summer camps at meldrum and Inverurie most weeks. They were invaluable for us to keeping him occupied and mixing with other children. The variety of activities was brilliant and he got the chance to do things that he wouldn’t have otherwise. Thank you so much for all the staff organising and working at Meldrum and Inverurie, you helped this working mum out so much and helped my son make some wonderful memories.

    Great Opportunity. Need more like it.

    My Daughter loved the Summer of Play at Huntly. Elizabeth and the other playworkers were fantastic. My Daughter loved the chance to do roller skiing, crafts, cooking, river education, climbing wall and a plethora of games. Would be great if this kind of sessions could happen every summer. Thanks to all who organised and ran these sessions.

    Stonehaven Summer Camp

    by MrsHRscot, over 3 years ago
    The summer camp on offer to children was absolutely brilliant! My daughter attended 6 sessions and each one was fun and engaging, with a variety of activities. It gave her the opportunity to mix with other children and participate in different activities like rock climbing. Would definitely book again and recommend to others.

    Thank you LL Aberdeenshire and all the volunteers and the staff members at Ellon community campus.
    My son loved attending the summer club at Ellon community campus. They had different activities every time when he was there. And the staff members were very friendly and helpful as well.

    He really enjoyed playing in the swimming pool too. He used to be terrified to go into one. Now he loves it.

    Thank you for everything.

    Mrs. Dan

    Heard lots of great reviews from many people, well done. However, whenever I logged in, the app was too difficult to navigate, and all places were already taken up via the website... After several attempts to book anything l gave up. (and then heard about some sessions that we wanted to do where people didn't turn up) While this isn't your fault, it needs to be addressed.

    I found out about the sessions held in our remote and rural area by chance...and duly spread the news on the day but if your feedback is that these were poorly attended, it's... Continue reading
