Easter Activity Package for Basildon Kids

Basildon is offering an action filled catalogue of activities to entice young people into the district’s sport and leisure centres during the school holidays.

The programme of leisure opportunities has been lined up to amuse, exercise, educate or just to provide good fun and a laugh for the district’s youngsters during the Easter holidays.

The Base Camp and No Limits programmes are returning with a wide choice of things to do. For those aged 5 to 11 the Base Camp programme includes gymnastics, football for boys and girls, indoor athletics, karate, futsal and basketball. They can also try Lazar Quest, nail art, street dance, Dodge ball, drama, Heeley disco or even cheerleading.

Older children have the No Limits range of activities which extends the Base Campselection with aerobics, kick boxing, ceramic arts, American football, go karting, paintball and much more.

Basildon Council leisure officer, Simon Jones, says : “We are looking forward to opening our doors to all our youngsters over Easter with dozens of sports and activities to keep them healthy and entertained”.

Brochures are available at all council leisure centres or via its web site.

The activities are accessed through the Fast Card scheme which already has thousands of young supporters. The mobile phone style card can be used to pay for any activity instead of carrying money. It is free and can be topped up with amounts of £5, £7.50 and £10. £1 equals 100 credits.

The cards are obtainable at any council leisure centre or swimming pool.

The Basildon Council Easter programme is also supported by the Football Foundation, Positive Futures and the Community Safety Partnership.
