The Dolphins Youth Club was busy over the summer months with various, well-attended, local activities. Young persons actively involved in club events throughout the year saw their hard work and dedication rewarded in the form of various fun events and trips.

One of these events was the Dolphin Youth Club’s annual BBQ, which was held in July. This year, the Dolphin Youth Club invited young people from the Youth Centre, providing a chance for the members of the different clubs to socialise with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. The invitation was reciprocated a few weeks later at the Youth Centre’s annual BBQ.

The club’s Arts & Crafts week-long programme also took place in July and was aimed at younger children aged between seven and twelve. It formed part of the Summer Sports and Leisure Programme and this year’s theme was based on marine life, with young people learning about the marine environment and creating their own paper-mâché fish.

A taster session in Canoeing was also organised with the kind assistance of Arturo Asquez from the Gibraltar Canoeing Association. Club members were given a chance to try out canoeing within the safety of the inner harbour waters.

Other popular summer activities included a beach outing to nearby Camp Bay and a sleepover, where the young people slept on air beds and in sleeping bags and spent a very enjoyable night chatting away and watching movies.

More trips and events are being planned for the near future. For further information about such activities, please feel free to contact the Youth Service via Tel: 20075020 or Email: gibyouth@gibtelecom.net
