Youngsters in Moreton Bay are being urged to ditch the screen and check the outdoor scene with Easter school holiday activity bookings about to open.
Bookings for such as fishing, camping skills, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, target archery, interactive drumming, golfing and hip hop dancing open on Thursday March 26.
“We are blessed to live in a City surrounded by natural beauty with so much to see and do outside,” Mayor Peter Flannery said.
“Council is proud to offer these activities, at little to no cost, that keep our young active and engaged with the community.”
Mayor Flannery said the City’s outdoor trails were another great option to stay active, connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
