The benefits of regular physical activity go far beyond the playing field. Getting kids into sport from a young age supports their physical health by building strength, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. It also plays a huge role in mental wellbeing, sport is proven to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and teach children how to handle pressure and setbacks with resilience. On top of that, team sport develops real social skills: communication, empathy, and the ability to work alongside others. Perhaps most importantly, mastering a new skill builds genuine self-confidence that carries into every area of a child's life.
WHY SPORT
MATTERS
WHAT WE PLAY
Each camp features a rotating mix of sports so there's always something new to try. We play basketball, touch football, soccer, AFL, pickleball, hockey, netball, cricket, and plenty more. No two camps are the same, and that variety exposes kids to sports they might never have picked up otherwise, with qualified coaching to back it up.
HOW IT WORKS
Camps run every school holiday period at two convenient locations, Maitland High School in Maitland and Beaton Primary School in Newcastle. Each camp spans two days, and families can choose to attend one day or both. All ability levels are welcome. Epic Sports is built for every kid, not just the ones already playing in a team.
​
Pricing is $70 per day, per child. Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers are accepted, making it even easier for families across the region to get involved.

About
Our Story
Epic Sports Camps began with a simple idea: every kid deserves holidays full of movement, mates and the kind of fun that makes them want to come back tomorrow.
​
Founded by Jonty, a qualified PE teacher with a lifelong love of sport, Epic Sports Camps is built on the belief that sport is for everyone. Whether your child is a budding champion or has never picked up a ball, there’s a place for them on our team. What sets us apart is who runs our camps. Jonty still teaches in schools today and has 3-5 years of experience teaching and coaching kids aged 6-12, including time teaching PE in the UK. Every activity is planned the way a good lesson is: skills built step by step, games kids beg to play again, and no one left on the sidelines.
​
Our multi-sport approach means every child gets to try new games, find their favourites and build skills they can take onto any field, court or playground. But the sport is only part of it. We want every child to leave our camps with more confidence, a stronger sense of teamwork, and holiday memories (and new mates) that last.
​
Your child’s safety comes first. Our coach holds a current First Aid certificate and Working With Children Check, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, capable hands while they run, jump, laugh and play.
​
Epic Sports Camps is more than a holiday activity. It’s a place to get active, make friends and feel proud. Come and see what makes our camps truly epic!
