We all want the best for our kids, but sometimes we feel like money stands in the way - or a lack of money to be more exact.

The NSW Office of Sport has offered free Holiday Break camps to kids from regional NSW during the April school holidays.

Regional kids aged 12 to 15 years can enjoy a free overnight camp at four sport and recreation centres.

Featuring a range of activities, including mountain bike and BMX riding, stand-up paddleboarding and survival skills, camps include all meals and accommodation.

Office of Sport Chief Executive, Karen Jones said the Holiday Break camps were a great opportunity for regional kids to challenge themselves, learn new skills and have fun.

“If your kids love sport, adventure or nature, our free Holiday Break camps provide a fun and challenging experience in a safe and inclusive environment,” Ms Jones said.

“With camps at Berry, Jindabyne, Lake Keepit and Broken Bay on the Central Coast, we’ve got all corners of the State covered.

“So, register your kids today and give them a once-in-a-lifetime experience they’ll never forget.”

The Holiday Break camps are funded through the Office of Regional Youth’s Children and Young People Wellbeing Recover Initiative as part of the NSW Government’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Strategy.

Camp dates and locations include:

  • Jindabyne - April 12 to 14;
  • Berry - April 17 to 19;
  • Lake Keepit - April 17 to 19; and
  • Broken Bay - April 17 to 19.

All camps are run by fully qualified staff and cater for special diets, medical conditions and allergies.
