Summer Holiday Activities Feature The Easter eggs may be barely finished but now is the time that canny parents start planning for the long summer holiday. Many of the exciting and diverse range of local workshops, camps and summer schemes book up very early indeed. Leave it to the end of term and you may be disappointed.

Activkids (Farnham & Aldershot)
Surrey’s Summer of Adventure 2011! Calling all adventurous 8-16 yr olds, don’t get bored during the summer holidays - try something different at one of the three activity centres! For adrenalin seekers why not learn to climb or abseil; or take to the water and try your hand at canoeing or sailing or perhaps skipper a canal boat; maybe becoming a soldier at one of the Army Days is more your thing or how about the multi activity days when you can try different activities over several days? Summer holidays need never be boring again, for more ideas or to book see www.surreycc.gov.uk/adventurecourses or call 03456 009009. The Activity centres are: High Ashurst near Dorking, Henley Fort in Guildford and Thames Young Mariners in Richmond.
