Families across Caboolture will have dozens of free options to keep children entertained during the winter school holidays. Moreton Bay is rolling out a packed program of activities across libraries, museums, galleries and recreation venues.
The winter schedule includes everything from target archery and junior boxing to alpaca visits, 3D printing workshops and creative activities designed to keep young people active and engaged during the school break.
With many families looking for affordable ways to fill the holidays, the program offers a mix of educational, recreational and cultural experiences suitable for a range of ages and interests.
Sport and recreation activities encourage active holidays
Children who enjoy getting outdoors and trying new activities can take part in a variety of sessions through Moreton Bay’s Active Holidays program.
Target archery is among the featured activities available during the winter break, alongside hip hop dance, tennis, junior boxing, multicultural games and survival skills sessions.
The program aims to encourage participation, build confidence and introduce children to activities they may wish to continue after the holidays.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the school holiday program was designed to help young people remain active while creating opportunities to spend time with friends and family.
He said the wide variety of activities available meant children could explore different interests and discover new skills throughout the break.
Alpacas and lambs bring learning to local libraries
For children interested in animals and hands-on learning, the Winter Woollies program will bring alpacas and babydoll lambs to selected City of Moreton Bay libraries.
The sessions are designed to teach children about where wool comes from and how it is transformed into products used in everyday life.
Families attending the events will also be able to watch demonstrations of carding and spinning, showing how raw fleece is prepared and converted into yarn.
The educational program combines animal encounters with practical learning about farming and natural fibres.
Libraries offer creative and interactive experiences
Libraries across the city will host a range of activities aimed at encouraging creativity and curiosity.
Children can take part in beginner 3D printing workshops, improv sessions, magic shows and circus-themed experiences during the school holidays.
The activities provide opportunities for young people to explore technology, performance and creative thinking in an engaging environment outside the classroom.
Museums and galleries add family-friendly attractions
The winter program also extends to Moreton Bay’s museums and galleries.
Families can visit events such as the Farmyard Family Fun Day at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum and participate in creative workshops, including projects that allow children to create their own illuminated LED story lanterns.
The activities combine learning and creativity while encouraging families to explore local cultural attractions.
