Kidfit Club April July Camps
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.

Spanish IM
School Holidays with a hint of Mexico at SpanishMI
This winter, join SpanishMI for our cultural Art & Craft workshops during the holidays. We are focusing on Mexico, the land of tacos and sombreros, to explore a bit more about its culture and unique crafts.
Children will have the opportunity to make “Ojos de Dios” (God’s eyes), a protective and spiritual symbol of the Huichol people of Central Northwest Mexico. These beautiful crafts serve as protective and spiritual symbols that help to connect more deeply to the natural world.
Ojos de Dios have been made for hundreds of years. We will be using craft sticks, yarn, pom-poms, and autumn leaves to create colourful and lovely mobiles!
Our workshops are also the perfect opportunity to learn about Mexican culture, connect with Latin roots and expand the knowledge of Spanish-speaking countries.
- Holiday Cultural Art & Craft Workshops for School Kids aged 6 – 13 years
- Maximum of 8 students per class
- The workshops will be in English. However, it is an excellent opportunity to learn and pick some words in Spanish, like colours and numbers.
- We only have four workshops during the Holidays, and the numbers are capped to eight children to ensure one-on-one attention and a calm and relaxing environment.
- The workshop is at our Academy in Crows Nest (77 Willoughby Road, 2065).
