3-Day School Holiday Camps – Balmain & Sydney Harbour

Our screen-free school holiday camps are designed for children aged 5–12 who love the outdoors, teamwork, and real-world fun. Based at Balmain Rowing Club, each 3-day program is a mix of sailing lessons, beach takeovers, bushwalks, team challenges, and water play in some of Sydney’s most beautiful harbour locations.

Highlights include trips by boat to Greenwich Baths for swimming and sand play, and — when conditions allow — a visit to the iconic Dawn Fraser Baths. Every camp also includes group rituals, nature games, and creative challenges that build confidence, courage, and connection.

Small groups mean every child is included, supported, and encouraged to try new things. Kids leave with laughter in their hearts, salt in their hair, and memories they’ll share all summer.

Every day is different. Every season brings something new.

Our camp days are thoughtfully structured to give kids the perfect balance of connection, challenge, creativity and calm. Activities shift with the seasons and change daily — no two days are ever the same.
