Central Coast Council is offering a range of free or cost-effective activities to keep children and youth entertained during the school holidays.
Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the exciting summer program showcases Council’s facilities and community services and offers fun and educational activities for kids of all ages.
“There’s a great range of activities in our program to provide fun and excitement for kids across the Coast,” he said.
“From animal encounters to arts, sports to water-based activities or environmental programs, we have something for everyone.”
Here are some highlights from this year’s summer school holiday program:
Learn about bushcraft and bush survival, composting and worm farming, turtles, birds, bugs, rockpool critters, art, bush tucker and lots more in the Environmental Program.
Why not let the kids swim and splash their energy away these school holidays?
