SSHF offers free two-hour program during February school break

Posted by on

Kids out of school and don’t know what to do? Come hang out and have some fun at the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame!

From February 20-23, you can experience Saskatchewan’s great sport history with our School’s Out program. Book a time at either 10:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. to receive a formal tour of the SSHF galleries, active play on our adaptive curling rink, STEM Gallery, and multisport simulator and then we’ll take it outside for some fun in the snow (weather permitting) in Victoria Park. Programs are two hours in length and there will be time at the end to warm up with hot chocolate and cookies in our boardroom after the fun is over. The program is free thanks to a Winter Initiatives Grant from the City of Regina. This program is best suited for children 4-12 years of age.

There is a limit of 25 participants per session (children and adults).

To book a time for you and your children, visit our home page and in the “Make Your Reservation” widget at the top of the page, select “School’s Out!” from the drop-down menu under ‘Select an Event Type’ and fill out the date and time you would like to sign up.

Questions? Please email our Education Coordinator Vickie Krauss at [email protected] or call 306-780-9232.

Parents are expected to stay with their children and are welcome to participate as well. Water bottles are recommended as the water fountain is not available to the public. Please dress appropriately for the weather outside.

School’s Out returns for Easter break

Posted by on

Kids out of school and don’t know what to do? Come and hang out and have some fun at the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame (SSHF)!

The SSHF is offering a new program during the Easter break to encourage kids to have fun and keep active.

Schools Out! is a 90-minute program that will run from April 11-14 and is being offered at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Hall of Fame (2205 Victoria Ave., Regina). The program will feature a guided tour of the Hall of Fame’s exhibits and then plenty of time to play and enjoy our multi-sport simulator, adaptive curling ice, and the STEM Interactive Gallery sponsored by SaskTel. The program will also feature ABC activities and allow time at the end to play and explore on your own.

Visitors to the STEM Interactive Gallery can test their vertical jump, their balance, their strength, their standing long jump, their flexibility, and their grip strength at our STEM stations. The multi-sport simulator is a popular favourite that allows visitors to test their sporting skills in a variety of virtual games like baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, and more. Our four-rock adaptive curling “ice” allows visitors to slide their stones down the ice either from their knees or with an adaptive stick that affixes to the stone.

The Hall of Fame’s featured exhibit is Fanfare, while the Dedication to Sport exhibit celebrates our 13 newest inductees.

Participation for one adult and one child requires a $5 donation. Each additional visitor (whether adult or child) requires another $2 donation. We ask that children be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their visit and the adults are welcome to participate as well. This program is best suited for children between the ages of 4-12. Water bottles are recommended as the water fountain in our foyer is not available to the public. Clean indoor shoes are also recommended.

Donations are non-refundable. We thank you for your understanding. Participants will receive a tax receipt for the cost of their donation.

If you have any questions, please email our Education Coordinator Vickie Krauss at [email protected] or call 306-780-9232.

There is a maximum of 20 spots available for each of the eight offerings of the program. Please reserve your space in the program by filling out the form below.
