Finding free school holidays activities in Adelaide can be a bit hit and miss. Fortunately the April school holidays overlap with National Youth Week in South Australia, and there are a fistful of free things to do for young people all about SA.
This year the theme of National Youth Week is
My Community is Your Community, highlighting the cultural diversity of South Australia. People have been working around the state to create a program of fun things to do for young people aged between 12 - 25 years old.
If you want to get a head start on Youth Week you can enter the Multicultural Youth SA (MYSA)
street art competition already. Your street art must relate to the Youth Week theme, MYSA supply the materials free of charge, and the winner receives a prize of $250.
There are so many fun things to do for Youth Week all about South Australia that we can only give you a sample. Here are a few of the highlights, but go to the
Office for Youth website to see the full list for your area. Be sure to also check
which are school holidays activities (some are not)
whether there is a cost
which activities need booking in advance
the age range applicable to the event
whether there are special requirements such as a parental release
