Spring into the
school holidays
The weather is warming
up and Spring School
Holidays are almost here –
time to start planning how
you are going to keep the kids
occupied.
Here are a few ideas to
keep kids active during the
break.
Goodwin’s Tennis
Academy
With years of local knowledge
and experience Joel Goodwin
and the team have got kids’
school holiday tennis camps
down pat.
Held at Mona Vale and
Narrabeen for ages 4 and up,
Joel offers parents and carers
great flexibility with full-week
or daily bookings available
and free before camp care
from 7.30am and after camp
care until 5pm.
Qualified coaches ensure
the kids learn and/or improve
their tennis in a relaxed environment;
there’s lots of fun
and prizes – and free Maccas
on the last day of each camp!
For details and bookings

or call 9979 6772.
Coastal Environment
Centre
Parents and carers in-theknow
book kids into the CEC’s
Kids On The Coast holiday
programs early to avoid disappointment.
There’s a range
of fully supervised activities
available during the holidays,
teaching kids the value of our
natural environment. Below is
a taste of what’s on the activity
menu.
Running Wild – kids will learn
about bush tucker and how to
make tools out of what they
can find in the bush, how
to make fire with hands and
make a fish hook out of shells.
Race Around the Headlands
– a day-long treasure hunt
where kids follow the clues at
the CEC and surrounding area
on a trail to fun and adventure.
Survivor Challenge – a great
activity for those wanting to
learn how to build a shelter
and survive on what they find
in the great outdoors.
Rock Platform Rambles – oldfashioned
outdoor fun by the
sea where the kids peer into
rock pools, build sandcastles
and fly kites.
The CEC is on Pelican
Path, Lake Park Road, North
Narrabeen. Kids must be 6
years and over and enrolled
in school. Activities run from
10am-3pm (no before or after
care). Cost $61. More info
