The Goldfields Giants’ school holiday camp next week will be the recipient of four cornhole boards made at the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Men’s Shed.

While the camp will see Giants players — men and women — coaching the campers in basketball, there also will be fun games including cornhole.

Camp organiser John Bowler said the whole emphasis of the week was for children to have fun and if in the process they became better basketballers then that would be a bonus.

Other games that will be played at the Brookman Street stadium during the camp include indoor cricket and dodgeball.

Mr Bowler said after approaches from parents whose children could not attend the full week, they had opened nominations for individual days.

Registration for the camp can be done each day at 8.30am at the stadium or on PlayHQ, with the link from the Facebook page of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Basketball Association or the Goldfields Giants.
