YORK Vikings are giving children between the ages of eight and 16 the chance to get active and have fun this summer as they host a week-long basketball camp.

The camp will be held in the York St John University sports hall in Lord Mayor’s Walk from Monday, August 1 to Friday, August 5.

As well as the opportunity to play basketball there will be other active sport competitions and outdoor challenges on offer, while there will also be a half-day demonstration in the Paralympic sport of wheelchair basketball.

The camp runs from 10am to 4pm each day, with the price set at £85 for all five days or £18 per day for one child.

The price lowers to £75 for the week or £16 per day for any further brothers or sisters.
