Kids in Derry who want to beat the wet weather summer blues have been urged to get involved with action packed summer schemes happening in the city.

Derry City Council’s Summer Camp 2012 is well under way at St Columb’s Park Leisure Centre, offering a host of activites including football, wall climbing, badminton, tennis, racquetball, orienteering, table-tennis, basketball and swimming.

The city’s Mayor Kevin Campbell said he would encourage local kids to sign up for the scheme, and get the most out of their summer.

“The Summer camp has completed its first week of programmes and the youngsters have all had a great time. It’s the perfect excuse to get them out of the house and get them active this summer.”

Prices per week are £32.00 for one child. Discounted family rates are also offered for multiple children attending, at £60 for two children and £85 for three children.
