'Wheelpower' Primary Sports Camp - Saturday 14th May
18/04/2016
The next FREE Wheelpower Birmingham Primary Sports Camp takes place at Stoke Mandeville Stadium on Saturday 14th May.
The Primary Sports Camp is open to children with physical or mild sensory impairments between the ages of six and eleven years old. We shall also welcome entry forms from those children who would not traditionally fit within ‘disability sport classification’ such as those with dyspraxia, epilepsy or some form of internal organ dysfunction or absence. The aim of this broader definition is to make some form of provision for those children who are unable to ‘fit in’ to mainstream PE/Sport Provision but who also do not qualify for disability provision.
All are welcome to attend the camp and coaches will attempt to include parents, teachers and escorts in the activities. Registration will commence at 9.15 am and participants are asked to be prompt. The Camp will end at 4 pm.
Activities will include Basketball, Boccia, Bowls, Fencing, Golf, Kurling, Zone Hockey and a Fun Session.
Accommodation, if required, will be available at the Olympic Lodge, Stoke Mandeville Stadium.
The entry fee is £9.00 with lunch provided. Accommodation, if required, will be available. A twin room costs £25.00 per night (based on 2 people sharing). Please indicate on your payment form if you require accommodation and please add the additional payment. Breakfast is an additional £3.00.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact WheelPower – British Wheelchair Sport on 01296 395995 or e-mail stewart.jeeves@wheelpower.org.uk who will be able to provide an application form.
