Camp Blue Melbourne

Camp Blue Melbourne is a school holidays day camp for kids conveniently located on the grounds of St. Mary’s College Edmund Rice Campus in St Kilda East. This is an ideal base for our school holiday program and allows us to facilitate a wide variety of activities that cater to the dynamic interests and desires of all our campers.

Our daily schedule is comprised of 5 activity periods. With a focus on Sports, Arts, Science and Environment, the program is packed with unique and diverse activities for a truly unforgettable experience.

Some activity periods each day are scheduled for campers to enjoy with their Hub (age group). This enables each camper to learn and build on new skills across an assortment of activities while enhancing their social connections and providing a consistent support network. There are also periods each day where campers can choose their activity, based on their individual curiosities and interests.

All campers are supported, encouraged and cared for in a safe and happy environment run by enthusiastic and highly skilled staff members. Our team embodies the positive spirit and sense of community that Camp Blue is known for, and we strive to send our campers home at the end of every day feeling happy, connected and accomplished.
