It's a bit of a balancing act - you don't want to mention every skill you've learnt from every extra-curricular activity or bit of work experience, but on the other hand you don't want to just have a shopping list of what you've done with no indication of why you did it.
My advice is try and pick activities which show off a different individual skills, then you only need explain each skill once - if you have other EC's which you want included you could ask your referee to include it.
Also have a look at some sample personal statements to see what other people have done.
