The summer holiday scheme is set up to provide young people with the opportunity to take part in various sport and leisure activities during their school holidays.

All courses are run in the conjunction with local sports clubs to help provide a pathway for young people to continue in a sport that they might enjoy.

The summer roadshows aim to provide access to leisure provision within some of the smaller towns and villages in the district. The roadshows are free of charge and provide a wide range of fun sporting activities.

Summer 2008

The Leisure Development teams summer activity programme provides young people across the district with the opportunity to take part in a variety of sports courses and fun activities. Many of the activities are run in partnership with local clubs and organisations to ensure that the courses are run to the highest standards providing both safe and enjoyable activities.

The 2008 programme includes many of the favourite courses from past years such as Sailing, Power boating, Canoeing, Golf, Athletics and much more, as well as the fun activity Roadshow series that will be touring the district and providing free activities in many local towns and villages.

New to the programme for 2008 is Climbing at Grafham Water Centre's Indoor Activity Hall, Mountain Biking at Hinchingbrooke Country Park run by British Cycling's Go-Ride Coach, and Basketball at St Peters School that will be run by Huntingdon Hawks Basketball Club as they aim to set up a junior section.

Also running during the summer will be Street Sports in Little Paxton, Brampton, Somersham and Buckden. All sessions will be taking place between 5:00pm - 7:00pm with the aim of providing informal sports activities for young people aged 13 plus.
