A message from our founder

"Growing up, I cherished the days spent crafting and creating with my parents. Those hands-on skills were invaluable and so much fun! As a parent myself, I wanted my kids to experience the same joy of learning and creating away from screens. COVID-19 shifted so many things, but it also gave us the chance to rethink how we approach learning. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce Get Crafty—a new series of camps where kids can dive into creative, hands-on activities, embracing a world beyond digital screens.

Join us in rediscovering the joy of crafting and learning through tangible, real-world experiences!"

Hayley Markham - Co-Founder and mum of three crafty kids!

FAQs

What is the structure of a day at camp?

Each day is divided into 1.5 - 2 hour sessions of fun, creative learning with three breaks for crunch & sip, recess and lunch so the kids can have outside play (weather allowing).

What time is drop off and pick-up time?

Drop-off is from 9:00-9:30 am and pick-up is 3:30-3:45pm. At selected venues we offer extend hours from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm - this availability will be visible at the booking page.

Does my child need to bring a device?

Get Crafty is a technology-free camp so no need to bring a device.

What should I pack in my child's bag each day?

We recommend bringing a hat, water bottle, sunscreen and a nut-free packed crunch and sip, recess, and lunch.

How many kids are in each class?

We have some of the best student-teacher ratios to ensure every child has a positive experience. Most of our classes are capped at 28 students with a 1:8 teacher-student ratio.

Do they have to have prior experience?

Get Crafty is suitable for absolute beginners.

Can I stay with my child?

Our camps are well staffed and we do not have parents stay for the day. If there is a particular reason that you’d like to attend, please get in contact with us to discuss.

Do you cater for special needs?

Whilst we do not run programs specifically designed to cater for students with special needs, our aim is to be as inclusive as possible. If your child attends a mainstream school and is comfortable in a classroom environment, they are welcome to attend. We will ask about their needs at enrolment. We are unable to provide 1:1 support, however if your child has a support worker they may attend with them. Please contact us to discuss your child’s individual needs.

My child is younger than the specified age, can they attend? Can my younger child attend with an older sibling?

If your 4-year-old is currently doing their foundation year of school and is within 1 month of turning 5 at the time of camp, then they are welcome to join us. If your child hasn't started school yet then unfortunately they are too young for these programs however we would love to see them when they are a little older.

Founder Year = Kindergarten (NSW and ACT), Preparatory or Prep (Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania), Reception (South Australia), Pre-Primary (Western Australia), and Transition (Northern Territory).

Do you offer a sibling discount?

When you enrol your child, you will receive a referral code which can be used to save $20 off your sibling booking.
