SPORTS & SCIENCE CAMP
Saints in the Community are hosting a FREE 'Sports & Science' Holiday Camp to McDiarmid Park this May Day – proudly sponsored by Aviva!
Kids will enjoy a mix of outdoor sports and exciting science experiments, delivered by our incredible partners:
- Rugby with Perthshire Rugby
- Basketball with Perth Phoenix
- Science with STEM Squad
- plus of course, lots of football!
With experienced coaches and instructors on hand, kids can try new things, build confidence, and enjoy a great day of fun - completely free.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Our facility map can be accessed HERE.
Access
Those travelling to the stadium by car can access the facility from the North gate, nearest the crematorium (GATE A). Those travelling to the stadium by foot or public transport can access the facility from the access gate on Crieff Road nearest Tesco (GATE B).
Parking
Families are asked to take a right after entering the access gate and follow the road around to the far side for drop-off and parking.
Registration
Registration will take place at GATE C, the back left corner when looking at the all-weather pitch from Main Stand. Children should queue in the area marked for their age group. Any families who are not registered will not be able to join the Holiday Camp. Families can collect their child from this same gate at 3pm.
What To Bring
Children should bring a water bottle, snacks, packed lunch box and appropriate clothing. Activities will take place outdoors and, due to the large number of children attending, lunch will be eaten in the stand. Water bottles can be filled up during the day. The weather is expected to be dry with sunny intervals, we therefore recommend sunscreen is applied prior to attending.
On the Day
Children will rotate around seven activity stations throughout the day: 3x football-based activities, tennis, basketball, rugby, and a fun science workshop.
Donations Welcome
This camp is free for families, thanks to the support of our partners. You can support us to do this more by making a cash donation upon arrival - look out for our donation buckets - or you can make an online donation HERE. Every contribution helps.
Boot Room
We know those young feet grow fast, so we're making it easy for families to claim pre-loved boots while also doing your bit to reduce landfill waste. Visit our Boot Room beside the all-weather pitch from 8:45am, returning towards the end of the camp at 14:45pm. A large variety of children's boots in a number of sizes are available, and a small selection of adult football boots and trainers are looking for their next home too! Boots are available at a suggested donation of £5 per pair. Donating boots? We’d love to receive them on the day.
Cancelling
The camp has proved very popular, and we have an incredibly long waiting list as a result. If you can no longer attend, please cancel your space via your online account so we can open your space for another family by logging in HERE, navigating to your account overview > bookings > view details > cancel booking > select session and cancel. Alternatively, email us to let us know and we will do this on your behalf.
