    Summer of Play

    by Mrs Paterson, over 3 years ago
    Well what can I say Live Love Aberdeenshire, you should be commended for a truly wonderful ‘Summer of Play’.

    I was so impressed with the summer programme on offer during the school holidays. My daughter attended the camps in Meldrum and thoroughly enjoyed every session. She even thanked me for booking her in!

    She said she particularly enjoyed having the opportunity to try new activities that she would have never signed up for otherwise. Also, I think getting the chance to mix with other children from different schools offered some social interaction that kids have been crying out for.

    Thank... Continue reading

    We didnt manage to book any of the camps in fraserburgh but we have enjoyed the free swimming at stonehaven outdoor pool and fraserburgh. We have also gone tubing at Huntley which the kids loved and visited the fraserburgh heritage centre. Kids have thoroughly enjoyed their summer. Thank you

    The Best Summer

    by Kerry, over 3 years ago
    Well what can I say....


    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... Continue reading

    We had a wonderful experience of summer of play 2021. Having recently moved we did not know of all the wonderful activities that were offered free of charge over the summer.

    My 10 year old attended the half day kids club at Mill o Forest there was a great range of activities offered Dodgeball, frisbee. His favourite activities were the climbing wall, Zorbs and archery.

    Both my 10 year old and my 13 year old have loved being able to go to the open air pool with their friends.

    The sessions are very well organised and well life guarded.

    Amazing fun for the kids

    by Erin S, over 3 years ago

    My son attended the sports camp every week they were at our local centre, he got to try sports he normally wouldn’t, coding, orienteering, basketball the list goes on. He came out every time so happy and loved every minute. He got on great with the instructors and now sees them out & about. An amazing thing to put on for free & we will 100% use again. Same with the swimming AMAZING thing to have on for families as the days are hard to fill and the pennies quickly add up so to have an activity on that’s free... Continue reading

    by Leanne Reid , over 3 years ago
    My eldest daughter, 10 had thoroughly enjoyed the camps throughout the summer in Banff - she had a great time meeting new friends & took part in lots of different activities. The leaders were lovely & really made things lots of fun for the kids. Meanwhile my youngest daughter, 2 has attended some of the free swimming sessions & is getting so much more confident in the water & asks to go swimming daily! Thanks so much for the opportunity to attend these after a tough year. Well done to all involved!

    Summer play fun

    by Lynn780 , over 3 years ago

    My son aged 8 attended some of the camps and he had a fantastic time.

    He took part in all the activities and there was a good variety on offer.

    The staff were great, sign in/ out process was easy and efficient and there were suitable covid restrictions in place.
    I was happy and reassured that he was safe and enjoying himself when he was there. He always came out with a smile on his face and tales to tell.

    It is important to me that he takes part in physical activities and after lockdown it was great for him... Continue reading

    Inverurie Camp

    by Cara Hay, over 3 years ago
    My son is in P7 and although one of the oldest children attending the camps has thoroughly enjoyed them! He has attended with friends and been able to be active in a variety of sport’s for a couple of sessions each week! He has also been able to take up the free fun sessions at swimming as well as transition sessions for the Academy! Inverurie Community Campus has had a bit of a buzz about it and it’s so good to see happy children enjoying themselves! Well done Active Aberdeenshire!
