The Easter School Holidays are on our doorstep. Term 1 2025 ends this Friday and students will return to school on Wednesday, April 30.

If you are not hitting the road for the holidays and wondering how to entertain your children, the Hockey & Multi-Sports Camp returns for all children aged 5 years and over.

With financial support from NSW Department of Regional Youth, Far North Coast Hockey Inc. offers FREE entry for youths aged 12 years and older for the full 4-day event.

To ensure the most affordable holiday care in the Northern Rivers, children aged between 5 and 11 years can attend all 4 days of the camp for a registration fee of $85.00.

Lunch, morning tea, and equipment are provided throughout the 4-day camp.

The camp aims to provide an environment where children can explore different sports, build skills, and make new friends.

The camp presents an opportunity for children to connect with others outside their school zones, while demonstrating the amazing benefits Sport gives to children:

• Break down social barriers
• Build inner strength and resilience
• Experience less stress and anxiety
• Form supportive relationships

All camp staff, coaches, and volunteers have essential qualifications including WWCC, coaching certificates, and experience. A Child Safety Officer, First Aid & CPR Officers, and a Child Support Worker will be onsite to ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all participants.

The diverse line-up of sporting sessions allows children to find a sport that suits their own personal attributes, whether it is individual, partnered, or team-based. This camp provides an opportunity to discover which sports may interest them in the future.

Hockey-

Hockey is one of the most skilful team sports in the world, and yet we teach the game so that every participant knows they can play the game well, and if there is a passion for team sports they may not have yet discovered.

For returning camp attendees, their hockey capabilities will be continued to the next level in the Hockey-‘Play-On’ series to further their skill and competencies. 

For seasoned or regular competitive players, Francisco, will be lead a special squad dedicated to ensuring our experienced players are challenged with a new range of engaging drills and games, providing specialized attention and directly focusing on individual strengths.

Table Tennis-

A fast-paced, individual sport taught by leading Far North Coast Table Tennis coaches, available for further development, locally in our own back yard.

Taekwondo-

Developed through individual effort. Ree & Damian from Jung Shin Taekwondo, with over 30 years of experience, instruct on kicking, punching, blocking techniques, as well as coordinated foot and body movements, among the individual sporting challenges.

Tennis-

Sessions are delivered by On Tour Tennis in Lismore. Dean and his team bring their enthusiasm and equipment to showcase the very best of one of the most popular racquet and ball sports.

Fitness Kidz-

A locally owned and operated organisation providing unstructured physical and creative activities on the last day. Children use their imaginations to tumble, roll, race, and team-up, to create their own adventures.

Places will run out with this event being one of the most popular diverse holiday programs for kids in the Northern Rivers region.
