Skill Samurai Lane Cove Coding Camps
Hi Lane Cove & surrounding families,
Our favourite local holiday camps are back. And this time, they’re bigger, bolder, and packed with even more fun for curious kids!
If you’ve been part of the Skill Samurai magic before, you’ll know these camps are more than just screen time. They’re where kids build their own games, code robots, learn to 3D print and even make music with AI. Did we forget to mention their favourite platform Minecraft & Roblox coding.
They are hands-on, creative, and yes—absolutely loved by kids (and parents too).
We’ve refreshed the lineup with new projects and even more ways for kids to learn real skills while having an absolute blast.
Camps are held right here in Lane Cove, and spots fill quickly—especially with the regulars coming back.
Check out what’s new and book early if you’d like to join us: https://bit.ly/holidaycampsLC
Looking forward to another fun-filled holiday with familiar faces and new adventures!

At Kumon, we personalise each student’s program, right from the beginning. Students begin study 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.
Kumon has operated in Lane Cove for over 30 years, and is run by local mum (and ex-Kumon Student) Sheryl Lee. We are constantly adjusting our centre to ensure the safety of our students, staff and the local community. Families can study with us in person, online, or via correspondence – choose the system that suits your family best!
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].
