Summer fun on winter holiday sports camp

We've all heard of summer camp, but what about a winter camp for summer sports?

The second week of the school holidays will see a golf and cricket programme run for Year 5-6 students which involves coaching, a movie and some fun in the Wanganui Splash Centre.

Cricket Wanganui's Dilan Raj said the idea of the four days of activities was to provide a fun, structured learning environment with "definite outcomes" for developing the skills of the two codes.

Next Tuesday will be a cricket skills session followed a visit to the Embassy 3 Cinema to watch Despicable Me 2.

Wednesday will be devoted to golf skills, then on Thursday it's back to cricket followed by a trip to the pools.

On the last day, the participants will play a round of golf followed by an indoor cricket game.

The coaches will be Raj, Wanganui representative cricketer Dominic Lock, and Tracey Corbett - the teaching professional at Castlecliff Golf Club.

The sessions will be from 9am to 3pm and cost $35 per day.

For this, the students get a pass to the movie and Splash Centre, a three-month membership at Castlecliff Golf Club, and a Kookaburra cricket bat and New Zealand cricket cap.

The application return deadline is this Thursday.
