Adventure Camp
Join an Adventure Camp & leave no kids inside these School Holidays. Ditch the iPads & video games – forget about your phone. Instead, kids will build shelters, create maps, solve puzzles, explore & make new friends. Our three-day programs are for kids aged 7-12, and are non-stop outdoor fun and games, based out of the Greenwich Sailing Club (with other north shore locations also).
Adventure Camp programs are built around challenging outdoor and problem solving activities. These will teach your kids to appreciate diversification in one another’s personalities and skill sets. They will learn leadership skills and discover how to understand risk, make safe decisions and (most of all) have fun outdoors. When learned in an outdoor setting, these core skills have been proven in kids to build confidence and responsibility. They also promote creativity and imagination. Our winter camps have different activities to our summer programs (no water sports), and we can’t wait to take your kids on an Adventure.

Educational
Kumon Lane Cove
At Kumon, we personalise each student’s program, right from the beginning. Students start at a level that allows them to build self-confidence from day one, and progress according to their ability rather than their age. Over time, our students develop the study habits, attitude and skills that will allow them to study advanced material confidently and independently.
During August, you can try Kumon for Two Weeks for FREE! You will need to attend an assessment & orientation prior to commencing, and spaces are limited.
Find out more about the Kumon Method of Learning by watching our introductory video (kumonglobal.com/kumon-a-foundation-for-the-future/) or booking an Orientation Meeting directly with Sheryl at [email protected].

View the CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Due to operating limitations, our program will be smaller than usual this spring. However, there are still plenty of great choices with a selection of our most popular classes. As always, our classes are hands-on and super fun with a range of topics suitable for children from Kindergarten to Year 6.
Sydney Speech Clinic
Group sessions promote peer learning in an interactive, motivating and supportive group environment.
Our group programs are designed to supplement the learning a child is already doing (e.g. at school, at home, or in 1-on-1 speech pathology) by building on existing skills. Most importantly, these groups encourage the children in the group to learn from one another. We often find that children thrive in this group setting, and come out of the program feeling confident and empowered to apply the new skills that they have learnt. Group programs offer a reliable and affordable way of maximising your child’s exposure to learning.
Literacy Programs & one to one Holiday Intensives
Lego® Based Therapy Group Programs

Our Social Programs offer a fun and natural way to approach social communication, emotional regulation, resilience and life skill development which can improve generalisation of important skills into everyday life. We want participants to feel that they are valuable members of their community and for them to feel independent and empowered. more info here
