Bloem Sports & fun camp
What are you going to do with your kids this Holiday period?
Why not let them do something active, stimulating, and creative.
During the December Holiday period you can send your kids to The Edge Group sports and fun camp. Let them learn new skills in different sports plus physical activities as well as basic life skills and even some art. There is even a brain workouts activity. Let them be challenged and coached by sport specific coaches, even up to an Olympic level coach and assistants - who knows, maybe you have a champion in the making or artist!
The where and when
The Edge Group will present the Holiday
sports and fun camp at the Fichardtpark Sports club from 5 to 23 December and
then again from 2 to 6 January.
From 8:00 in the mornings until
17:00 in the afternoons, Mondays to Fridays.
the what
Coaches will facilitate lessons in Table
Tennis, Badminton, Squash, Tennis and Golf plus basic health and fitness
techniques, designed to stimulate the kids plus a motivational life skills
session to equip them with more than just physical but also mental skills. To
ensure balance and creativity, an art and creativity session is also
facilitated. The program is designed to work on a round robin basis, where
groups of not more than 12 participants per group, move between the sports and
activities for 45 min sessions per station. Groups will be age and gender
appropriate to ensure comfortable interaction. Participants must be at least 10
years old.
They will be taught the basic rules and techniques
of each sport and get the opportunity to try each of these sports, with the
coaches assisting them in correcting the techniques and enhancing the enjoyment
of each skill – FUN is the primary goal. The same applies for the art and
creativity class.
Each week will have four days with this
model (Monday to Thursday) and on the Friday, the kids will have the
opportunity to compete in a mini tournament against each other with these new
skills they have learned and complete their artwork. The model is best utilized
if a participant attends all five days because the skills build on a previous
day of that week, but because fun is the major outcome, the participant can
even mix and match days in different weeks or even repeat previous days or attend
only one day. Ideally, they will attend all five days because the lessons build
daily on the previous day to have at the end of the week a participant with
some new knowledge and skill and maybe even a newfound passion for a sport or
art.
With the other activities available at the
camp, there are enough to get the interest of a variety of tastes. No
participant will be expected to do anything they are uncomfortable with, and
participants will decide their own level of participation.

priced at R1 250 for the week. Only attending daily will cost R300 per day.
