BUDDING surfers of all abilities can sign-up now for OCRA?s surf camp, which will run on August 17, as a last-minute, new addition to the programme of activities being offered over the summer holidays by the Okehampton sports charity. Aimed at 11 to 18 year olds, the day will include transport to the beach and a whole day of trying out bodyboarding as well as surfing. OCRA will also be offering other sports camps which will run on Wednesdays from 10am until 3pm, including a multi-skills camp on August 8, a football camp on August 15 and a rugby camp on August 22. Sport and art days for children aged from 6 to 14 are running on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Parklands Leisure Centre. And until August 28 there will also be summer activities for the under 5s on offer, with sessions including soft play, music, dance and singing. Two woodland adventure days are also being offered this summer, one on Friday August 3 and the other on Friday August 24, when children can learn to build a shelter, cook on a camp fire, kayak, and follow a woodland trail. And OCRA is also holding two horseriding days for 11 to 18 year-olds, on Wednesday July 25 and Wednesday August 8, and a tennis day for ages eight and over on Tuesday August 21.
