School holiday fun on offer over summer

Published on 21 December 2022

Young people between the ages of 12 and 25 are invited to supercharge their summer school holidays by participating in Council’s 2023 Youth Holiday Program.

Hosted by Macedon Ranges Youth Services, these events are a great opportunity to get involved in some school holiday fun, fill in those long summer days and meet other young people in the community.

As part of the program, YMCA will be hosting a skate/scooter/BMX competition at Gisborne Skate Park on Saturday 21 January.

Participants can compete to be crowned the winner of the Western Regional Series in the Victoria League, which is part of the YMCA’s national pathway program. The event will provide an opportunity for enthusiasts to have a go, improve their skills, interact with the pros and win some fun prizes.

Other events throughout January across townships within the Macedon Ranges include:

Council’s Director Community, Maria Weiss, said the Youth Holiday Program provided an opportunity for young people in the community to stay active and socially connected during the holiday period.

“It’s a great opportunity for our young people to get together and have some fun in a safe and supervised environment within their own community,” she said.

“There are a range activities on offer, so there is sure to be something for everyone.”

Some entry fees and costs may apply.
