Kids on Track runs fun, non-residential camps during half terms and holidays for extremely disadvantaged children from Andover. For many children the holidays are so tough they would rather be at school. Kids on Track camps are held 3 days every holiday where they run different activities on each day. For most children who attend, this is the highlight of their holiday.
The James Tuttiett Trust was delighted to provide financial support to help fund the running of the summer camp Bushcraft activities, which provided children with an opportunity to be outside immersed in nature and learn new skills.
Kids on Track camps are held in the magnificent grounds of local independent school, Farleigh. The children have access to 70 acres of landscaped woodland and parkland. In addition, they are able to use all the fantastic facilities such as the sports hall, theatre, Astroturf, tennis courts and pitches. This freedom and space enable the children to grow in confidence and discover their individual talents.
Highlights included Basketball led by Bulford Bob Cats, tennis, golf and a mobile climbing wall. There was also cooking, music and drama on offer.
The camp was rounded off with a with a mini sports day followed by a BBQ and ice cream van.
None of this fun would happen if it wasn’t for the amazing volunteers for which the charity is incredibly grateful.
