As the weather warms up, Central Coast Council will deliver an engaging program of activities and events throughout the spring school holidays, with plenty of activities to help families enjoy the outdoors, stay active, and keep young minds entertained.
Council’s Youth Services and local youth providers have plenty of exciting opportunities, events, and workshops to help young people across the Central Coast explore their passions, build skills, and be inspired while connecting and socialising with friends.
Activities on offer range from entering or supporting a mate in the Central Coast Skate and Scooter Competition to enjoying a free movie night, participating in interactive workshops or updating videography or construction skills.
Families can enjoy sports, active recreation, and physical activity options, with children and adults of all ages encouraged to try something new for free or at an affordable cost.
Options range from swimming and basketball to yoga or another recreational sport, gym and fitness activities.
Families can enjoy colouring-in activities or creating a cyanotype in the sunshine with T LO Art Pop Up, as part of Council’s fun-filled Creative Spaces programming across the Coast’s town centres.
Dance-lovers can enjoy special music and movement classes with the TipToe Giants Play Pop Up featuring vocals, green screen recording experiences and an insight into the benefits of music therapy.
At Council’s Libraries, kids can get involved in a range of face-to-face and online activities designed to activate young minds.
High school-aged kids (12-17) will have the opportunity to work together and put their problem-solving skills to the test by unravelling a compelling story behind an Escape Room-style detective challenge.
Primary-aged kids with a creative interest can join Australian Children’s Laureate Gabriella Wang to discover the inspiration and creative process behind her latest book and learn how to draw a mythical creature.
The whole family can visit Kincumber Library to indulge in a fun-filled list of glow activities with The Midnight Zone with glow-themed sensory activities, stories and craft, and engineering challenges.
Enjoy live theatre at Laycock St Community Theatre with an interactive performance of The Alphabet of Awesome Science or Urza and The Song in the Dark, a new story for young people set in an underground wonderland of caves, lakes, fantastical creatures, and myths waiting to be discovered.
Central Coast Galleries and Leisure Centres remain open during the School Holidays.
Parents, carers and guardians can head to the School Holidays ‘What’s On’ page on Council’s website to see everything on offer.
