Cllr Dr Kindy Sandhu, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to get involved in outdoor adventures and fun. The camps provide so many exciting activities that will undoubtedly get young people stimulated on the day and beyond.

“Each person will be equipped with what could be future life skills, preparing them for adulthood whilst having an enjoyable time which is what the camps are all about! I look forward to seeing and hearing all about the new adventures that are to take place over the summer.”
