Oñati, Spain – Registration is now open for the popular ‘Uda Kanpaina’ summer sports campaign, offering a wide range of activities for children and teenagers. The campaign aims to keep young people active during the summer break, with options spanning from traditional sports to more unique pursuits.
The ‘Uda Kanpaina’ will run across three sessions this summer: June 29th to July 10th, July 13th to July 24th, and June 29th to July 24th. The program boasts a diverse menu of sports, including skating, tennis, golf, badminton, rock climbing, chess, pelota (Basque ball), water games, roller hockey, yoga, Zumba, CrossFit, mountain biking, and aqua aerobics. This variety ensures there’s something to appeal to a broad range of interests and skill levels.
Registration is available online at zubikoakiroldegia.oñati.eus and in person at the reception desk of the local polideportivo (sports center). The registration period closes on March 29th, so interested families are encouraged to sign up promptly.
Due to anticipated demand, the Oñati municipal sports service will conduct a lottery for placement in each activity within each session. The lottery will prioritize fairness, taking into account minimum and maximum participant numbers for each sport. Results will be emailed to applicants on April 1st. From April 13th to April 17th, cancellations will be processed, and individuals on the waiting list will be contacted to fill any remaining spaces.
This initiative underscores Oñati’s commitment to providing accessible and engaging recreational opportunities for its youth. The ‘Uda Kanpaina’ isn’t just about sports; it’s about fostering a healthy, active lifestyle and building community spirit during the summer months.
Beyond the ‘Uda Kanpaina’, Oñati is preparing for a full summer of activities for children and adolescents. Ondavasca.com reported on March 17, 2026, that udalekus (summer camps), arte udalekuak (art summer camps), and the ‘Uda Kanpaina’ will collectively offer games, art, and sports from June 29th to July 24th. These programs aim to fill the summer days with fun and creativity, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for children from third grade of primary education through sixth grade.
The udalekus will operate from Eltzia, but activities will extend throughout the town, utilizing plazas, parks, and other public spaces. The camps will run from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with optional childcare available from 8:15 AM to 10:00 AM for families needing early drop-off.
Registration for the udalekus is similarly open until March 29th and must be completed online through the municipal website.
