 Freshney Place to host Weekly Summer Camp Activities to Entertain Families

Freshney Place is preparing to entertain families this summer by hosting a fabulous weekly programme of activities. The Freshney Place Summer Camp events will offer a diverse range of free entertainment for children, to help families make the most of their school summer holidays.

Taking place each Saturday across six weeks, the Summer Camp will have a different type of activity each week to offer creativity and fun.  After the successful completion of each activity, children will be rewarded with a special embroidered badge and sash. If they manage to join every Saturday and complete all the activities, they will receive the full set of badges to add to their sash – becoming Summer Camp champs!

First up on Saturday 27 July is the Reptile Badge where children can meet and hold various reptiles and learn some interesting facts about the animals, such as what they eat and when they sleep.

On Saturday 3rd August it’s time to earn your Gardening Badge! Children can make their very own mini greenhouse, sow some seeds and learn about their life cycle. They can then take them home to watch them grow!

Saturday 10th August the circus will roll into town! Children can earn their Circus Badge by taking part in the circus workshop, learning how to aerial hoop, juggle and spin plates – all great skills to impress the family once back home!

For enthusing science buffs, Saturday 17th August will give youngster the chance to earn their science badge. Watch the mad scientists prepare their crazy experiments and take part in learning how to make slime, energy sticks, screaming balloons and instant snow.

On Saturday 24th August an Artist Badge will be up for grabs in the fabulous art workshops. Exploring the works of some of the most famous artists such as Picasso and Andy Warhol, children can experiment with artistic styles such as collage, pop art and watercolour.

Finally, to close the Summer Camp programme of activity, on Saturday 31st August

There will be a Dance Badge to earn whilst celebrating at the Summer Camp Party!  Learn some new moves and then show them off by dancing to some great tunes played by the DJ!

In addition to the Summer Camp activities there will also be FREE face painting every Saturday. And Freshney Places’ much loved summer trail will invite families to explore shop windows as they search for clues to complete their trail form. Collect and return your trail form to the event staff member near BB’s Cafe and receive a free treat for each one correctly completed! Visitors can also look out for Freshney Dog, the centre’s mascot, who will be making regular appearances, entertaining visitors with his playful antics.

Amanda Austin, centre director at Freshney Place said:

“Families will love all the activity we have lined up and it should help to keep little ones occupied during the long summer holidays. There will be something for everyone in our Summer Camp activities, so it should be great fun whilst also giving children the chance to gain some valuable new skills!”

Workshops will be available between 11am-3pm on Saturdays. *
