Worried how to keep your children entertained while they’re on their Easter school holidays? The City of Cape Town\u2019s Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department is hosting a range of activities during the Easter school holidays to ensure that they don’t get bored.<\/p>\n
The Department has planned approximately 500 holiday programmes running from Monday 26 March \u2013 Thursday 5 April 2012. The programmes will be presented at the City\u2019s various community halls, swimming pools, beaches, parks and public open spaces, libraries, sport and recreation facilities and resorts across the metropole. <\/p>\n
\u201cEach of the six districts in the Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department will use the services of volunteers to ensure that all of the programmes are effectively implemented. Our goal with these programmes is to encourage children from communities throughout the city to participate in sport, recreation and special events during the holiday period, and in the long-term,\u201d said the City\u2019s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services, Councillor Tandeka Gqada. <\/p>\n
A number of youth and holiday camps will also be hosted at various City resorts during the holiday period. The objective of these camps is to expose the youth to fun activities while also building social and life skills by teaching them how to work in groups, respect authority and appreciate nature. <\/p>\n
These are skills and lessons that the youth will be able to take back to their communities so that they can positively influence their peers. The participants will be based at the camps and will also go on mountain hikes and excursions to explore the biodiversity within the city. <\/p>\n
Indoor programmes that will be hosted at Community Centres include board games, gymnastics, rope-skipping, karate, pool, poetry and drama, concerts, indigenous games, cultural dances and fitness training, talent shows and arts and crafts. <\/p>\n
Outdoor programmes include five-a-side soccer, mini-netball, basketball, cricket, hockey, sport against crime, big walks, fun-runs, beach soccer, water polo, learn-to-swim programmes, beach volleyball, slippery slides, jumping castle, face-painting, trampolining, touch rugby and various recreational activities and family festivals. <\/p>\n
The public is encouraged to take advantage of the City\u2019s extensive holiday programme and to visit their local Community Centre. <\/p>\n
