What is Games at the Gate?
Games at the Gate is a Multi-Sports and Activities camp, during every school holiday period for children and young people of school age, in and around Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Based on the principle that 'children learn best when they are having fun' - our priority is that every child leaves our camp with the satisfaction of trying something new and more importantly - spending their school holidays playing with and making new friends.
We play exciting and innovative games and activities that capture the imagination and encourage creativity, movement and decision making. Our Games at the Gate include a wide variety of Sports and Activities including Basketball, Netball, Hockey, Football, Arts & Crafts, Dodge ball, Parachute Games, Kite Making, Face Painting, Kids Zumba and Dancing, Friendship Bracelets, Tennis, Lacrosse, Rounders and so much more....
We also have our own Library, Computing Suite and Woodland with an adventure trail!!!
We really do strive to have something for everyone, from every walk of life!!

Peace Of Mind
Your child's Welfare is our number one priority and we do everything possible to ensure our members are safe and secure. Our amazing staff are insured, PVG Checked, experienced and love working with children. All of our equipment and facility is risk assessed to a very high standard with public liability insurance in place prior to attendance. We do not tolerate inappropriate behavior between our members and follow very strict anti bullying procedures.
We want you to feel content that your child will be looked after and supported in all aspects of their involvement.
Please not however that we are not a childcare service and that children who attend our clubs do so with the intent of taking part in our games and sports based activities. All aspects of care are still the responsibility of the parent/guardian and we stress that phone numbers on consent forms be available at all times whilst your child is in attendance.

Giving Back
Giving back to the community is very important to us and Games at the Gate is already looking at ways of improving the play spaces available in and around Gate 55. Recently we built an outdoor basketball court for centre (pictures below) and are looking into improving the space further with an outdoor tennis/badminton/volleyball court built next to it.
