Hundreds of kids will experience everything the outdoors has to offer as the Kids Adventure Outdoors festival (KAOs) returns in April.<\/p>\n
Outdoor recreational activities, camps and youth organisation programs will be on around Anglesea over the April 7-8 weekend.<\/p>\n
Event spokesperson Vicki Chrzanowski said KAOs in its fourth year, aimed to engage children between three and 13 years, and their families to get more active.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about getting more kids in the outdoors more often whilst influencing ongoing participation in a huge variety of activities,\u201d Ms Chrzanowski said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKAOs was created to counteract the amount of time spent by children indoors with the average child in Australia spending at least 44 hours per week in front of a TV or screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Chrzanowski said for $90, kids got a full day of activities saturday 9am until 4.30pm or sunday until 12pm or both days for $140, with parents able to attend for free.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom surfing, camping, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing and stand-up paddle boarding there is something for everyone. Families can choose to stay for a single full day, single half day or the entire weekend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can also take part in the campout overnight or stay in cabins on-site at one of the many outdoor camps or caravan parks located in Anglesea.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said for those families yet to experience the joys of camping out under the stars, or who didn\u2019t have the equipment this was the perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n
