Mobile
Activity Centre (MAC) |
The Launceston PCYC can
offer a wide range of recreational activities with its Mobile
Activity Centre (MAC) trailer.
The trailer is loaded up
with all sorts of sporting equipment and recreational gear that
can be used for a wide range of activities, primarily for young
people, or even the “young at heart”.
We can now also include
Taiko (Japanese) drumming in our range of activities! It’s great
for all-round focus and coordination!
Our program can offer not
only a regular opportunity to get active and stay healthy, but
also to develop or enhance skills in one or a number of areas.
The program operates in a
safe and fun filled environment where everyone has the
opportunity to participate individually, or in small teams.
We can bring the MAC
trailer to your school, community event, club, work windup or
even your birthday party, to keep your kids active and happy.
That makes the MAC program
the ideal recreational facility for your particular situation.
