LANE COVE Beyond the Bell JUNIORS Holiday Camp Multiple Dates January 2027

School’s Out!

Beyond The Bell Juniors is our smaller, gentler school holiday program for children aged 4–6, designed to give younger kids a happy, supported introduction to holiday camps.

This summer, we’re excited to bring Juniors to Lane Cove, based at the historic Lane Cove 12-Foot Sailing Skiff Clubat Longueville Wharf.

It’s a beautiful waterfront setting, with the Lane Cove River, nearby parkland and open spaces giving younger children plenty of room to move, explore and play.

Our Juniors days are active and screen-free, but deliberately run at a slower pace than our older program. There is plenty of outdoor play, simple games, creative activities, local exploring, free play and time to reset throughout the day.

The program is particularly suited to children finishing preschool and preparing for Kindergarten, children new to school holiday care, or younger kids who are more comfortable in a smaller group.

Our experienced educators focus on helping children settle in, make friends, try new things and gradually build confidence and independence.

With small groups, higher staff ratios and plenty of encouragement, children are well supported while still having the freedom to play and enjoy their holidays.
