Manly Camp
SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM ON SYDNEY’S NORTHERN BEACHES
Camp Blue Manly is a day camp located on the grounds of Stella Maris College on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Combining the incredible facilities of Stella Maris with nearby Keirle Park, Lagoon Reserve and the iconic Manly Beach, our Camp Blue school holidays programs are diverse, unique and never boring!
Each day is comprised of 4 activity periods. Our philosophy is to satisfy each camper’s individual curiosities and interests while providing them with a unique opportunity for growth. Our campers in Years 1-9 have input on their own individualised weekly schedule, with 4 of their favourite activities selected from their preferences to fill the 4 elective periods. There is also scheduled Hub time for campers to enjoy with all their peers together.
What we do
By scheduling activities based on each camper’s individual preferences, they are more likely to enjoy and engage in the activities they participate in, leading to a more positive overall camp experience. Our diverse range of elective activities enables campers to gravitate towards their interests, with the intended outcome not limited to just learning, but also meeting, connecting and developing strong bonds with other like-minded peers.
Additionally, individual scheduling allows for a more personalised approach to learning and development, as our team of staff can tailor activities to each camper’s specific needs and interests. This helps to promote a sense of autonomy and independence, which can have long-term benefits for a camper’s personal growth and development.
Campers enrolled in Kindergarten are part of our Little Blue program, which takes the decision making out of the way and provides them with a well-balanced program they can enjoy with new friends while never getting bored.
