Code Camp

These school holidays, give your child creativity, connection, and confidence with Code Camp — one of Australia’s most loved holiday programs for kids.

With a wide range of in-person camps and online programs to choose from, there’s something for every kind of kid. Whether your child is a total beginner or a budding tech enthusiast, they’ll discover new skills, make new friends, and have a great time.

New to Code Camp? Their flagship coding programs are the perfect place to begin. Little Coders (ages 5–7) takes the very first steps into the world of coding in a fun, age-appropriate way, while Spark (ages 7–12) challenges kids to use drag-and-drop coding to build their very own arcade-style game. Both programs are designed to build real skills while keeping kids engaged, curious, and inspired.

The camps kids keep coming back for are returning this season – Minecraft Engineers, Roblox Legends, Robotics Camp, and Animation Camp are all on offer, blending STEM learning with hands-on fun.

For kids who love Roblox, their brand-new program takes things to the next level. At Roblox Studio Designers, kids step behind the scenes to learn how games are actually designed, built, and brought to life using Roblox Studio. With a focus on building, logic, and problem-solving in a safe, development-only environment, it’s a fantastic introduction to real game development.

Not every child wants screen time, and that’s where Code Camp’s Get Crafty! camps come in. These tech-free creative camps swap keyboards for hands-on, tactile activities that encourage mindfulness, imagination, and collaboration. Think of it less as an arts and crafts class and more as a full creative adventure – the kind that leaves kids proud of what they’ve made and excited to come back.
