The Summer holidays are just around the corner, and NL Active is on hand to help children across North Lincolnshire stay active, have fun, and make the most of every single day!
From 21 July to 2 September, NL Active centres will be bursting with activities that’ll get little ones off screens and into action. Whether they’re climbing to new heights on the climbing wall at The Pods, splashing their way through summer in our pools, or challenging their friends to a team game, there’s something for everyone, every day!
It’s more than just fun, our sessions help children stay active, build confidence, make friends and try something new in a safe, inclusive and welcoming space.
Here’s what’s coming up this summer:
Free swimming in NL Active pools
Children can swim for free at all NL Active pools this summer…just look out for the Summer Daze free sessions on our swimming pool timetables!
Climbing & bouldering sessions
