Local MP Justin Tomlinson has shown his support to Draycott Sports Camp at Oakhurst Primary School, which runs a daily schedule of activity throughout the school holidays for primary aged children.
The camp was established by Mark Draycott two years ago, who also works as a PE teacher at Oakhurst. The idea behind the camp was to create an exciting, fun and friendly atmosphere for children of all abilities to enjoy their school holidays.
Justin visited the camp during last weeks half term break, and wasn’t afraid to get involved in some of the activities including lacrosse, netball and football.
There was also a Q&A session between Justin and all of the children attending where the questions ranged from what it was really like to be in Parliament, to what football team Justin supports. The final question was a challenge to see how many kick-ups Justin could do - a chance to prove his sporting ability!
Justin Tomlinson MP said: “It was absolutely fantastic to see this great initiative in action. This sports camp is a wonderful facility for children to have access to over the school holidays, and it’s great for working parents across the Northern Sector to have the option of good value activities for their children. It’s so easy these days for children to stay in doors during the holidays watching TV or playing on video games. Draycott Sports Camps ensures that children stay active and get involved with team activities each and every day. There is also something on offer for every child; whether they are into sports or not. Not only is Draycott Sport Camp a great choice for parents, but it is also a valuable asset for the community in terms of promoting children’s health and well-being.”
Draycott sports camp will next be running throughout the summer holidays at Oakhust Primary School. They also have ongoing after-school clubs which run throughout the school term. Further details available at www.draycottsportscamp.com - Telephone: 07581045845 - Email: info@draycottsportscamp.com.
