EASTER CAMP ENROLMENTS ARE NOW OPEN!

EASTER CAMP DATES - 16TH-20TH APRIL.


Camp Blue at North Sydney

Day camps (2, 3, 4 or 5 day options)


Held in the grounds of Monte Sant Angelo in North Sydney, your child will have a unique school holiday experience. What can you do at Camp Blue? We offer a diverse range of activities so every child and their different needs are catered for. You and your child select the programs they would like to participate in throughout the week from the activities that are listed below. Your child will participate in 5 activities every day for the duration of the week (except for Little Blue Campers who will participate in an adapted set program). Camp Blue places an importance on learning so each activity will be taught by an experienced and qualified instructor and your child will come away with something to show for what they have learned that week. We also understand that the most important thing to a child is to have fun at camp, so you can be assured that while your child learns they will be having a blast!
