The Youth & Family Camps at The American Club Singapore are seasonal recreational programmes designed for children and families during school breaks. These camps are part of the Club’s broader Youth & Family offerings, which include youth activities, classes, parties, and camps aimed at engaging young people in physical activity, creative play and group learning experiences in a safe and fun environment.

The American Club Singapore is a private members’ club located in Singapore’s Orchard area that provides family-oriented facilities and activities for its members and their guests. Among these are **seasonal kids camps — including Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter camps — which are available to children from as young as around 3 years old to approximately 12 years old and above.

Seasonal Camp Overview

The Club organises seasonal Youth & Family Camps during major school holiday periods. These include:

• Spring Camps (e.g., April school break)
• Summer Camps (e.g., June to August holiday)
• Fall Camps (e.g., October break)
• Winter Camps (e.g., December–January holiday)

Each season’s camp generally follows a weekly format, allowing families to register for full weeks of activities. The activities are designed to be age-appropriate and encompass a variety of experiences such as arts and crafts, science and STEM play, sports, culinary tasks, outdoor adventures and team-building challenges.

Types of Camp Activities

The American Club’s youth camps offer a mix of activities to support children’s development, social interaction and exploration outside school hours. Activities vary by age group and season, but commonly include:

Creative and Hands-On Activities
Younger children experience creative sessions such as arts and crafts, building projects and themed creative tasks that encourage imagination and fine motor skills. Culinary sessions such as mini baking or cooking projects are also included in certain camps.

STEM and Sports Play
STEM-focused play, team sports and physical activities are incorporated in camp schedules to help children stay active and engaged. These may include organised games, basic science explorations and movement activities supervised by trained staff.

Outdoor Adventures and Excursions
For older age groups (typically ages 8 and above), camps often include off-site experiences and adventurous outings to locations outside the Club. Examples from previous seasons include trips to Sentosa, Forest Adventure, and Bird Paradise, providing children with outdoor and experiential learning opportunities in real-world settings.

Team-Building and Social Play
Activities designed for collaboration and cooperative play are integrated into camp schedules. These include group challenges, team games and interactive tasks that promote social skills, communication and confidence.

Camp Variations by Age Group

Camps at The American Club are structured by age to provide relevant and appropriate activities:

Ages 3–7
Younger children typically take part in on-site camps within the Club’s facilities. These camps include creative play, crafts, themed activities (such as winter crafts or Easter projects), and light physical games suitable for this developmental stage.

Ages 8 and Above
Older children engage in both on-site and off-site activities, where they may attend outings or outdoor adventures that include sports, nature exploration and structured group experiences at off-Club venues. These excursions help broaden their social, physical and exploratory skills.

Typical Weekly Schedules

While each camp season’s exact schedule varies, a typical week includes daily sessions from morning to mid-afternoon with a mix of activities. For example, previous Spring and Fall Camp schedules included a range of indoor creative tasks, STEM play, sports and excursions. Camps usually operate on weekdays, and families can register for full weekly sessions or daily attendance depending on availability.
