XCL Camps – Holiday and School Break Programmes in Singapore

XCL Camps is the holiday and seasonal activity arm of XCL Education Ltd, one of Asia’s largest school groups with campuses across Singapore and Southeast Asia. The camp programmes are designed to offer children and teenagers meaningful, engaging experiences during school breaks, blending learning, enrichment, creativity and physical activity. XCL Camps operate at various XCL Education school facilities and partner locations, supporting students and families with structured holiday options.

XCL Education itself runs a wide network of schools, including international and Singapore curriculum campuses, and XCL Camps leverage these facilities — including classrooms, sports fields, halls and specialist rooms — to deliver camp programmes that enrich children’s holiday time.

Purpose and Educational Focus

The purpose of XCL Camps is to provide holiday programmes that combine fun, enrichment and skill development outside the academic calendar. While the specific offerings vary by season and camp schedule, XCL Camps generally aim to help participants:

• Stay engaged during school holidays in structured holiday activities.
• Explore new interests and talents in areas such as arts, sports, movement and intellectual skills.
• Develop confidence, creativity and collaboration through group challenges and interactive tasks.
• Experience diverse activities that support physical wellness, artistic expression and learning outside the classroom.

The camps emphasise holistic development, recognising the value of combining play with purposeful learning and experience-based activities during school breaks.

Types of Camp Programmes and Activities

XCL Camps provide a diverse range of themed holiday programmes. These are often tailored to age groups and seasonal calendars (e.g., March, June/July, September, December holidays) and may include combinations of the following:

Enrichment & Academic Explorations

• Creative writing and literacy enrichment — activities developed to enhance reading, writing and communication skills in engaging ways.
• STEAM-inspired workshops — activities that incorporate science, technology, engineering, arts and maths in hands-on challenges and projects.

Creative & Performing Arts

• Arts, crafts and design projects — sessions that allow children to explore visual arts, design thinking and creative expression through guided projects.
• Music, drama and dance workshops — performing arts experiences that encourage confidence and artistic participation.

Sports & Physical Play

• Sports camps and activity days — physical play, team games and fitness-oriented sessions that promote physical health and cooperation.
• Movement and coordination activities designed to help participants build confidence and enjoyment in physical skill play.

Outdoor & Experiential

• Outdoor learning challenges and excursions — nature-oriented tasks, group exploration and experiential learning activities that connect students to their environment.
• Team building and collaborative challenges that encourage relationship building, communication and group problem solving.

Because XCL Camps programmes are designed in partnership with school campuses, many activities make use of specialist facilities — such as art studios, playing fields, music rooms and science labs — to enhance the quality and variety of experiences.

Age Groups and Suitability

XCL Camps are intended for a wide range of children and teenagers, with programme options that accommodate different age brackets and developmental stages. Typical age bands supported by the camp schedules include:

• Lower primary school children — activities that support playful discovery and foundational skill building.
• Upper primary and lower secondary (preteens) — programmes that combine creative, intellectual and physical challenges.
• Older teens — sessions designed to promote independent exploration, leadership, collaboration and advanced group tasks.

Age suitability and specific offerings vary by the term and regional camp schedule organised by XCL Camps.

Camp Structure and Scheduling

XCL Camps typically run during school holiday periods in Singapore and the region. Programmes are organised into multi-day blocks with a mix of daily activities structured around themes and learning objectives.

Camp schedules usually follow a weekday programme format, allowing participants to take part in activities for several hours each day, from morning through mid-afternoon. Some camps may also offer before-camp care or after-camp care options depending on the location and family needs.

Because programme offerings and schedules are updated ahead of each school holiday session, families interested in specific dates, themes and camp durations are encouraged to check the XCL Camps website or contact the organisers directly for the most current information.
