About our kids' camps
Who are we?
Sport and Recreation is a Government agency committed to bringing communities closer together through recreational and outdoor activities. Our Sport and Recreation Centres have been providing positive life-changing experiences using traditional camp values for over 50 years. If the name rings a bell, it may be because we organise and run camps for many schools in NSW.
Qualified activity instructors
Our qualified and experienced activity Instructors are trained and accredited outdoor leaders. All Instructors hold a first aid and resuscitation certificate, as well as training in child protection guidelines. They provide a safe environment where kids can try a range of sports, crafts and outdoor activities that they normally wouldn’t get the opportunity to do.
Supporting camper wellbeing
Our friendly, supportive and caring Camp Counsellors really make camp the very best fun it can be. They supervise and engage kids throughout the camp, fostering a positive, inclusive, safe and fun environment. The Camp Counsellors makes sure each child settles into their new environment on the first day, encourages the development of good social skills and ensure that each child’s wellbeing is maintained.
Modern facilities
Every Centre is equipped with modern facilities including comfortable dormitory-style accommodation with bathrooms, commercial kitchens where our qualified caterers prepare plentiful and nutritious meals, and large seated dining halls.
Serious about safety
Safety is a top priority for Sport and Recreation Centres and we have an excellent record. Here are some of the ways we make sure the camp experience is a safe one for all concerned:
- Fully qualified staff
- Thorough Working with children checks for all staff
- First aid and 24-hour staff support
