FURNESS Academy will be running a summer sports camp at their North Site, during the first week of the school holidays.

The week, which runs between Monday, July 23 and Friday, July 27, is open to both boys and girls, aged between seven and 11.

It will feature a wide range of sporting activities, both indoors and out.

The usual summer sports of cricket, netball and rounders will be mixed with football and rugby league outdoors, while the school’s indoor facilities will host basketball, badminton and table tennis, among other events. There will also be canoeing available, organised in conjunction with Duddon Canoe Club and held at Cavendish Dock, during the week.

All sports will be run by qualified coaches, with the days split into four sessions and four or five sports offered during each.

As well as the coaching sessions, there will also be mini competitions on the Wednesday afternoon and Friday morning to give the children a chance to try out their new skills.

Each day will run between 9am and 3pm – with a break for lunch – and the cost is £30 for the whole week.

Anyone interested in taking part should contact Furness Academy for an application form, or download one from the Barrow Borough Sports Council website at www.barrowsportscouncil.org.uk
