Stadium is the place for fun during school holidays

Published on 17 December 2024

Primary schoolers and teenagers looking for something to do during the school holidays have plenty of options at Camperdown stadium.

Corangamite Shire Council Recreation Officer Ricky Birmingham invited Shire youth to come along to some active and social holiday sessions.

“We essentially have open hoops and free-play sessions for kids to come along and try basketball, netball, soccer, pickleball, badminton, table tennis, indoor hockey, lawn games and tennis,” Mr Birmingham said.

“Everything will be set up and kids can just move from station to station enjoying themselves.

“Come along with your friends and enjoy something you love already, or try something new. There’s no need to book. Just turn up on the day.”

The sessions $10.30 per person.

Mr Birmingham said Council was committed to working towards ensuring the health and wellbeing of the community by supporting a range of opportunities for people to lead active lifestyles.

“Taking part in sport, even at a social level, has health benefits and joining in when you’re young can establish good habits for life.”

The free-play/sports circuit sessions run from 10 am – 1 pm on

There will also be an afternoon session on Wednesday 22 January with free play and sports circuit from 4-6 pm and a free screening of the movie Sing 2 from 6:30 pm.

Camperdown Stadium will close Thursday 19 December at 5pm and reopen for limited school holiday scheduling from Monday 6 January.

Usual programming kicks off on Tuesday 28 January with the Camperdown Amateur Basketball Association returning for action from 4 pm.

Timboon stadium will close on Tuesday 24 December and the gym will reopen on Monday 13 January. For more information call Council on 5593 7100 or follow the stadiums on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CamperdownStadium and www.facebook.com/timboonsportscentre
