At Camp Australia children are at the heart of everything we do. We guide children’s growth before school, after school and on their holidays. Our engaged educators foster a safe, inclusive environment where children can relax, have fun and grow. 

We partner with government, independent and religious schools across Australia. As every school is different, and every child is unique, we tailor our programs to consider each school, their community, their parents and children. We are continually improving the quality of our service delivery as we strive to deliver Service Excellence every day, every session. 

We created our new values: courage, gratitude, respect, joy and belonging, by listening to the voices of everyone in our team, and they speak to who we aspire to be and how we act toward each other. Our values ensure we put people at the heart of our organisation and everything we do. At Camp Australia, we are building a culture that makes CA the best place to do the work our team loves!
