Kids on Track exists to provide an enrichment programme for children from disadvantaged areas of Andover, that will help develop a positive mind-set and
build confidence, so that these children can achieve their full potential. Kids on Track works with local schools and social services to identify children that could benefit from additional support. We currently have 48 children attending activity camps during the school holidays. Activities
regularly include sport, arts and craft, cooking, music and drama, together with specialist events such as street dance, circus skills and woodland den building.
The aims of the camps are:
To provide an opportunity for children to have fun during holidays
To broaden experience
To develop confidence
To develop social and emotional skills such as teamwork/ co-operation
In addition, we run after school activity clubs at local secondary schools for the Kids on Track children currently attending those schools. The activity clubs fulfil a similar and supplementary role to the camps, providing a little extra interaction and development of a key life-skills eg cooking and
nutrition.
