There will be no excuse these school holidays for the kids being bored during their break with the Campaspe council running plenty of activities across the shire.
Camels, ice sculpures, slime and cinemas are some of the free fun activities that kids can get involved in.
Mayor Chrissy Weller said the month of April was simply jam packed with fun, free activities for the kids.
“Thanks to funding from the Victorian Government’s COVID Safe Outdoor Activation Fund, council has been able to provide some memory making moments across our shire,” Cr Weller said.
“This funding is being used in the development of ‘pop-up’ outdoor cinemas, to be hosted at a variety of locations across the shire, along with the school holiday programs in April and June/July.”
