Looking for something fun for the kids to do these school holidays?
The department's popular school holiday camps get kids outdoors, making new friends, having a lot of fun in a safe and supportive environment. There are so many activities on offer, you're sure to find a camp your kids will love. Choose from day camps and overnight residential camps.
It’s one of Perth's best kept secrets: an out of school recreation camp that has kids swapping screens for the outdoors without breaking the budget.
There are no upcoming events.
The department has been running school holiday camps since 2009. Our mission is to offer accessible, affordable and fun opportunities for kids during the school holidays to promote being active in the outdoors.
Camps may run at any of our four metropolitan camps (Bickley, Ern Halliday, Point Walter and Woodman Point) and one regional camp (Camp Quaranup) over the school holidays. Note that not all sites will run camps each school holidays.
