    Summer fun

    by Ellie , over 3 years ago
    My two kids (aged 6 and 8) have attended several of the camps in both Huntly and Banff, plus activities such as skiing and swimming. I can’t fault the camps and the activities the kids have got to do. There’s always a wide range and they always come home happy and proud of what they’ve made during their time there. I would love for these activities to be available next summer as well. Twice they’ve been able to try skiing at the Nordic ski centre in huntly and have loved it. The instructors are brilliant and extremely helpful.

    My only... Continue reading

    Happy Loon!

    These sessions have been an absolute godsend while we have been working during the summer holidays. We were a bit concerend as our son has been suffering with seperation anxiety since the Lockdown. After a lot of coaxing and encouragement our son attended his first session in Inverurie back in July and had the best time and has been so happy to go back. He thoroughly enjoyed the bikes, rock climbing, basketball, crafts and tik tok dances. He has also learned some new games......stuck in the mud a particular favourite that he has been learning his friends about. Thank you... Continue reading

    Fantastic range of activities

    by Happy Mum! , over 3 years ago
    Absolutely fantastic range of activities. We made full use of the program and went to Inverurie, Alford, Huntly, Meldrum and westhill. It really helped lift my daughters spirits and allowed me time some time to focus on her toddler sibling knowing she was having lots of fun. As a parent of an autistic child this has been a real lifeline for us and help keep all our stress levels lower. My daughter particularly enjoyed the tubing, crafts and ASN trampolining. It was great to find she also got the chance to try new activities such as rock climbing.


    Thank you... Continue reading

    An Active Summer

    by Grateful Mum, over 3 years ago
    After suffering through so many lockdown restrictions, confined to home and being too reliant on devices for learning and entertainment I was determined that the kids would have a more active and healthier summer holiday this year.


    We took advantage of as many of the activities as we could and the kids loved each and every one. We were lucky enough to get some spaces on the sports camp in week 1 & 2 and the kids really enjoyed trying out all the different sports to see what they liked and what they didn’t. Every collection they were pink cheeked... Continue reading

    Summer of play

    by Angela , over 3 years ago
    Fab summer programme. We’ve been to the outdoor pool in the sun, rain, wind and in the dark! My youngest has loved the multi sports camps and all the new friends and skills he has learned along the way. Looking forward to the basketball and football camps for the bigger ones next week! Certainly helping to keep us busy and moving. Thank you.

    Fantastic! Thank you!

    We have made full use of the summer of play activities! My daughter has been to summer camp sessions in Mintlaw and Fraserburgh. She has really enjoyed taking part in these, asking if she could stay for the whole day!

    We have been to Fraserburgh swimming pool most weeks (some paid sessions and some free sessions). Both kids LOVE the pool so any opportunity that I’ve been able to book (spaces are limited), then I’ve booked us in.

    We have also made use of the free soft play sessions at Macbi on Sunday mornings.

    All in all, it could have... Continue reading
