Why School Holiday Camps Matter for Families in Lane Cove
School holidays are a reset. For kids, it is a chance to move, build confidence, and make new friends. For parents, it can be a juggling act.
A well-run holiday camp helps by giving your child:
✔ Structured activity throughout the day — not just free play
✔ Skill-building through games that match their age and ability level
✔ Consistency within a group, allowing them to settle in and progress
What makes our camp different is the variety. Rather than focusing on a single sport throughout the week, children can experience Tennis, Pickleball, Basketball, Soccer, and more — all in one place at a purpose-built recreation centre in Lane Cove.
Whether your child already has a favourite sport or is still discovering what they enjoy, there is something each day to keep them engaged.
Galuwa Recreation Centre is managed by Sydney Sports Management Group (SSMG), bringing extensive sport and recreation expertise to the Lane Cove community.

Our Camp Approach
We keep camp practical, energetic, and structured so kids stay engaged throughout the day.
We start camp by getting kids settled and comfortable, then grouping them with peers so they can progress together. Staying with the same group builds confidence and momentum across the week.
The morning opens with tennis — the foundation of the program.
Coaches use age-appropriate equipment and methods so every child,
regardless of prior experience, can take part and improve from
the very first session.
As the morning progresses, sessions move into point play, games, and match play. Children learn to use their skills in real match situations — not just in isolated drills.
Kids get regular breaks including recess and lunch, plus drink intervals throughout the day to stay hydrated.
The afternoon rotates through Soccer, Basketball, and Pickleball — designed to keep energy high, build different movement skills, and let children discover which sports they enjoy most.
Each camp week includes awards and prizes for participants.
Wet Weather Plan
Our holiday programs run rain or shine.
If the weather is poor, we transition to indoor activities until conditions improve.
If necessary, we may transport children to a larger indoor facility within our group to ensure they have enough space to play.
If you have questions about a specific day’s forecast, call us before drop-off on (02) 8360 5555.
