There are very few things that can compare to having a good time in one of the most beautiful locations in Singapore. But Kids Play Sports know how to make it even better! 

Here, every day is a real adventure, filled with activities, competitions, challenges, meetings with new friends, and lots of fun! 

One of the prominent features of this camp is the number of unusual types of sports kids have never tried before. Apart from traditional sports like football, tennis, volleyball or basketball children will have a possibility to try their hand at sports that even many adults have never heard of: Kinball, Dodgeball, Tchoukball, Floorball etc. 

The curriculum of the camps includes more than 50 activities so kids will be able to attend circus training lessons, play golf at Sentosa, compete in basketball, football, and rugby sessions, and, most importantly, spend time with their friends and have fun. 

Every camp has a one-of-a-kind program, so no one will have a chance to get bored. Even if your child is wary of unusual activities, it doesn't matter as highly qualified and experienced instructors of Kids Play Sports know how to involve kids in various activities so no one feels excluded. 

Every training session here is not limited to learning the rules and polishing techniques - much prominence is given to the overall improvement of physical condition, stamina, flexibility, and coordination. And, children also learn to work in teams, follow the rules of fair play, and respect rivals. To ensure that the competitions are fair, kids attend camps in age-based groups. 

Also, the team has its own transportation and kids can be picked up from their homes.
