Code Camp

Code Camp teaches children how to code to create their very own iPhone game or app, in a 3-day school holiday camp. There are camps for kids aged 5 to 13 years from the beginner to the advanced coder. At Code Camp, kids are taught to become digital storytellers where their imaginations can run wild.  They can come up with their own game or app idea, create their characters, design their levels, choose their baddies and make everything move, all with using code!

Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean that you can’t have a paddle! Visit Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre for one of their awesome school holiday programs, or simply to have a play at Splasher’s Water Playground. It’s all indoor so it could be freezing outdoors and you’d not feel it while you’re splashing away!
