Manly Camp

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM ON SYDNEY’S NORTHERN BEACHES

Camp Blue Manly is a day camp located on the grounds of Stella Maris College on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Combining the incredible facilities of Stella Maris with nearby Keirle Park, Lagoon Reserve and the iconic Manly Beach, our Camp Blue school holidays programs are diverse, unique and never boring!

Each day is comprised of 4-5 activity periods, with a variety of sports, arts, STEM and special interest options on offer. Our schedule is structured to allow for each camper to incorporate an element of choice in their daily activities, satisfying their individual curiosities and interests while providing them with a unique opportunity for growth.

What we do

Each day kicks off with a fun, age-appropriate Hub activity where campers can develop new skills and strengthen their social connections, all while being part of a supportive community. Afterward, campers in Years 1-9 get to choose from a wide range of activities that align with their own interests and curiosities, making each day unique and tailored to their personal growth. Kindy campers will remain with their Hub Group for daily activities with our Little Blues program designed to introduce them to new skills in a supportive and consistent environment.

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.
