Summer activities made simple by Total Craigroyston

So many summer programmes, so little time! Total Craigroyston has made finding something to do over the summer holidays more simple. Read on …

A number of the youth and children’s as well as Community Learning and Development run extensive programmes during the summer holidays.

We’ve collated these activities into one place and created a timetable of all the opportunities available. Over the 6 weeks there are just under 400 opportunities for school-aged children and young people. A good number of these are free or very low cost.

To find out more information about any of these activities take a look at Join in Edinburgh (www.joininedinburgh.org) – just enter the name of the activity in the search box.

Countdown to The Quest 2012

Summer’s flying by (or maybe floating by!) and one of the highlights of the summer youth programme is now just a week away. The Quest is the annual event enjoyed by hundred of local young people, and the final destination this year is , as always, a closely-guarded secret.

Muirhouse Youth Development Group’s (MYDGs) Joanne Stewart explained: “The Quest is an area-wide event  – a scavenger hunt across Edinburgh ending in a secret location with a barbecue and fun activities for around 100 young people and volunteers, which promotes team work and sportsmanship. The Quest aims to include each youth agency in the North Edinburgh area and is one of the most popular area-wide activities –  it’s been taking place for many years, always with a great turn out.  We are very proud to say that we won an award from the Edinburgh Evening News last year for ‘the best youth initiative’, voted for by Evening News readers, which I think shows the popularity of the event in the community. We’re hoping this year’s Quest will be even better!”

The Quest starts from Scottish Gas HQ on Waterfront Avenue next Friday (27 July) at 11am and finishes … well, who knows?
