6 of the coolest summer camps in Dubai

Looking for a fun camp for your children this summer? From cooking and robotics to spending time with furry friends, you can decide how your child spends their summer break by taking a look at some popular summer camps in the city, listed below:

BOUNCE Summer Camp

There’s something epically cool about jumping onto a trampoline and letting all that energy out. Get the kids moving when you enrol them in the Summer Camp at BOUNCE, where they’ll learn fun tricks as they hop around, make new friends and play games such as the egg and spoon race, tug of war, and red light-green light.

From Dh210 (half-day, daily) or Dh300 (full day, daily). Jun 24-Aug 29, Mon-Fri, 8am-1.30pm or 8am-5pm. Various locations across Dubai. Call 04 3049333 to book your kid’s spot.

Dubai Mall Summer Camp

The only problem with this season special is that the kids may not want it to end. As part of this four-day camp, kids will enjoy their sessions at KidZania, watch movies in Reel Cinemas, play games at Play DXB, skate away at Dubai Ice Rink, see the view from At The Top Burj Khalifa, and hang out with fishes and other marine animals at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo. This one’s best for kids aged 7 to 14. Children aged 3 to 6 years old can participate, but must be accompanied by an adult.
