A CORONAVIRUS-safe summer holiday programme for young residents has been drawn up by the Dinton Activity Centre recently.

Activities have been made available to young residents looking for water-sport fun over this summer, including courses for sailing, kayaking and paddle-boarding.

The activities are available to children aged between 10-17 regardless of level of experience, and adults can also hire out boats from the centre in their own time, so long as the latest safety procedures are adhered to.

These procedures, set out by the Dinton Activity Centre, include residents pre-booking only and only using single-occupancy boats, residents using the provided hand sanitizer, as well as making sure social distancing measures are adhered to.

Staff at the Dinton Activity Centre, Sandford Lane, Hurst, will also be washing down all equipment between users, regular cleaning of common touch points and deep cleaning of equipment overnight.

The activity centre is providing junior sailing courses, Teen sailing training courses, 'Wild Sessions' for young children, family taster sessions, and individual use.

Cllr Parry Batth, executive member for environment and leisure, said: “We’re delighted to safely welcome children and their families back to Dinton Pastures for a whole host of exciting water activities.

"Whether your children want to try their hands at sailing, paddle boarding or kayaking, there’s a session to suit.

"I am very proud of The Dinton Activity Centre team who have worked hard to produce a summer programme that meets the Government’s Covid-19 safety guidelines.

"I know they are looking forward to welcoming families back."

In the interest of safety, all sessions requiring multiple-occupancy boats will not be running, and toilet access will only be available to course participants.
