Ever wondered if your child is the right fit for a CCS Summer Camp? It’s a common concern for many parents. Let’s break it down and make it crystal clear.
Age Groups: Who Fits Where?
At CCS Summer Camps, we’ve got something for everyone. Here’s how we split it:
- 4-6 Years Old: These are the little adventurers. Camps for this age group are all about fun, creativity, and learning through play.
- 7-9 Years Old: This group is ready to explore a bit more. Activities get a tad more challenging, mixing fun with educational elements.
- 10-12 Years Old: Here, kids start to specialise. They can dive into specific interests, from sports to science.
- 13-15 Years Old: Teenagers get a taste of independence and leadership. Camps focus on advanced skills and personal growth.

Eligibility Criteria: What You Need to Know
Making sure your child is eligible is crucial. Here’s the lowdown:
- Age Verification: A birth certificate or school ID usually does the trick.
- Health Requirements: Up-to-date immunisation records and a health check-up form are typically required.
- Skill Level: Some specialty camps might ask for a basic skill level or previous experience. For example, a coding camp might require knowledge of basic programming.
Stories from the Campfire
Let me tell you about Sarah, a 10-year-old who joined our science camp last summer. She was a bit nervous at first, unsure if she’d fit in. But by the end of the first week, she was leading her team in a robotics project! It’s amazing what the right environment can do for a child’s confidence and skills.
