Us Girls and StreetGames
Award winning Us Girls Camps and sessions for girls aged between 8 and 14.
Workshops are also common at all camps where you will be able to discuss your views and concerns around different topics including social media, confidence and self-esteem, emotional health, role models and more. You might even be interested in becoming an Us Girls volunteer or young leader and if so we will support you and give you the tools necessary to carry out this role with confidence.
Us Girls and StreetGames
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting two sports camps during half-term at Penlan Leisure Centre, in conjunction with Freedom Leisure.
Us Girls - Tuesday 31st October 2023 - 10.00am-3.00pm, £7.50.
Our very popular Us Girls camp where girls aged between 8 and 14 years can come together in a fun, friendly and non-judgemental environment to try out a range of different sports and activities including dance, dodgeball, swimming and more!
Along with trying out new sports and activities the girls will have the opportunity to meet new friends and discuss topics relevant to them, such as, 'barriers to sport' and 'the importance of being active'. The Sport and Health team are dedicated to ensuring that all girls who attend the Us Girls camp are made to feel welcome, have fun and most importantly are given the confidence and belief in themselves to try new things and to step out of their comfort zones.
StreetGames - Thursday 2nd November 2023 - 10.00am-3.00pm, £7.50.
Our very popular StreetGames camp is a fun, friendly and non-judgmental environment open to both boys and girls aged between 8 and 14 years.
On the day, young people will have the opportunity to try NERF, dodgeball, multi-sports, swimming, inflatables and more! It's sure to be a jam-packed day full of fun.
