Cardiff Rugby Community Foundation, in partnership with the WRU, are running Fit, Fed, Fun camps that are being run in summer holidays.
These camps are free of charge and open to all between the ages of 6-11, for a fun day of being active. These camps are being run at numerous different locations throughout our region to provide children the opportunity to stay active during the holidays, as well as providing breakfast and lunch. Although there will be some rugby based activities, these camps are open to all children, not just those with an interest in rugby, and alternative activities will also be delivered.
The camps details are as follows:
6th August – Abercwmboi RFC
10am-2pm
Breakfast served on arrival.
Lunch provided.

For the camps, all we ask is that participants bring suitable clothing, a coat (weather dependent) as most activities will be outside, suitable footwear (activities will be taking part on grass) and anything additional that they require for a day of fun activities (any medication etc).
The camps are limited to 50 participants so to sign up to the camps, please follow the link in the camp details. Once your place is secured, you will receive a confirmation email.
If there are any parents/guardians that don’t have access to computers to complete the form then please feel free to complete the registration on their behalf and liaise the details with them.
We look forward to what should be a great half term of camps.
Many thanks,
Tal Harding
