Sittingbourne Football Club is launching a community football camp in Sittingbourne, Kent, to help local families with childcare and exercise during the February half-term. The sessions are designed for children aged 4 to 14 to stay active and learn new skills while they are away from school.

The camp will run from Monday 16 February to Friday 20 February 2026 at the club’s Woodstock Park home (Staxson/DMA Stadium), Broadoak Road, Sittingbourne, ME9 8AG. These dates align with the official half-term set by Kent County Council (school holidays: Monday 16 to Friday 20 February 2026).

Daily activities take place between 10:00 and 15:00, with coaches leading games, small-sided matches and teamwork drills. Parents can book spaces at around £20–£25 per day, or about £100 for the full week, providing an affordable option for supervised holiday sport; bookings are handled through the club’s youth booking channels.

The camp is part of Sittingbourne FC’s community outreach as the club seeks local support for the proposed Highsted Park development. The Highsted Park scheme is currently a proposed project (planning permission is still to be obtained) and, if approved, would include a new purpose-built sports hub and stadium with 3G pitches and a package of new schools (the project materials refer to four new primary schools and one secondary school).
