Active Kids Rockhampton is a 5-day sporting and recreation day camp for 9 to 13-year-old boys and girls in the Central Queensland area, from January 16-20, based at the CQ Community Sports Centre on Rockhampton campus.

Organiser Alex Bright said she was overjoyed with the response and that participants were enjoying the experience.

The children rotate through five different sport and recreational activities daily, all taught by qualified Development Officers and Recreational Instructors in their various fields of expertise.

Activities for the week include athletics, fitness testing, baseball, pool games, basketball, netball, tae box, croquet, soccer, cricket, orienteering, water polo, bushdancing, rugby union, volleyball, swimming, pilates/yoga, golf, futsal, table tennis, boot camp, rugby league and nutrition.

CQU Human Movement Science students play a major role in Active Kids Rockhampton, assisting in the organisation of the camp through their Industry Practicum. Students studying to be HPE teachers provide supervision and assist with activities.
