With limited spots available, this is a fantastic opportunity for young residents to engage in fun and interactive experiences.
A Summer Program Brimming with Adventure

This initiative harmonizes sports, healthy leisure activities, and community engagement, providing an appealing toolbox for youth to make the most of their time off. Engaging with peers while participating in these activities not only promotes physical well-being but also social interaction, vital for personal development.
Kickoff with Karting and Driving Workshops
The action starts on August 8, when participants can join a karting event coupled with a driving workshop in Puerto del Rosario. This day promises not just thrilling races but also insightful tips on driving mechanics and safety. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a newcomer to the world of racing, this activity encourages skill development in a safe and fun environment.
Giant Foosball and Bumper Ball in Gran Tarajal

This unique blend of teamwork, laughter, and some friendly competition makes for a memorable day, tapping into the spirit of camaraderie and healthy fun.
Aquatic Adventures in Corralejo
To cap off the month, August 29 will see the festivities conclude at a water park in Corralejo. Youth can splash around and enjoy various water rides and activities, creating an unforgettable experience. This is more than just a day at the park; it’s a chance to unwind, cool off, and connect with friends in a joyful setting.
