Best Sports Holiday Camps in Perth for Kids

School holidays in Perth — glorious sunshine, endless energy, and the inevitable “I’m bored” by day two. If you’re looking to keep your kids active, learning, and off their screens, sports holiday camps are one of the smartest options going around.

Perth has a fantastic range of camps covering everything from swimming and gymnastics to soccer, tennis, and multi-sport programs.

Here’s a sport-by-sport guide to some of the best school holiday camps in Perth.

Why Sports Holiday Camps Are Worth It

Beyond simply filling the calendar, sports holiday camps build real skills — confidence, coordination, teamwork, and a love of being active. Most run full days from around 9am to 3pm, making them a practical option for working parents as well as a genuinely fun experience for kids. And because camps bring together children from different schools, they’re a great opportunity for kids to form new friendships outside their usual circle.

Multi-Sport Camps

A great option for younger kids trying sport for the first time.

Soccer Camps

Soccer is one of the most popular holiday camp choices in Perth, with several quality providers to choose from.

Tennis Factory offers a slightly different twist on the camp experience. Kids are split into teams and earn points throughout the week for things like helping coaches, persevering with improving a shot, and showing good sportsmanship, with prize-giving at the end of the week.

Perth’s warm climate makes swimming a natural choice, and there are solid holiday programs available across the city.

The program focuses on technique, skills, and strength in the water, taught by highly qualified teaching staff, with small class sizes that see fantastic progress over a week or more of consecutive lessons.

Tips for Booking Perth School Holiday Camps

• Book early — popular camps fill up fast, especially over summer and Easter. Many providers offer early bird pricing.

• Check the age range — most camps have minimum ages and group children by ability, so make sure the camp is a genuine fit for your child.

• Ask about safety policies — look for Working with Children checks, qualified first aid on site, and clear policies around allergies and child safety.

• Look for flexible bookings — some camps, like Tennis Factory and AO Holiday Programs, let you book individual days rather than committing to a full week, which is handy if your child has other commitments.

• Government sport vouchers — some Perth camp providers accept Active Kids-style vouchers, so it’s worth checking if your family is eligible.

Perth’s school holiday camp scene is genuinely strong across a wide range of sports. Whether your child has a passion they want to develop or is simply ready to try something new, there’s a camp here that will keep them active, happy, and tired enough to sleep well — which is a win for everyone.
