Holiday sports camps

Junior Saints runs a number of sports camps throughout the year to coincide with school holidays and in-service days. If the schools are off, you can guarantee that Junior Saints will be on!

For summer 2026 camps, we have teamed up with StAMP (St Andrews Music Participation) who will be running half day music camps as part of our Junior Saints Camp Programme. More information can be found below.

Childcare vouchers

My son goes to the pre school camp and as he is 3 I was nervous how he would get on but the staff have been fantastic with him, very friendly and supportive while also making him have such a fun time in the sessions. Since it has been such a good experience we are now joining future sessions too.
