As an expat mama living in Eindhoven, I know how important it is to find engaging and enriching activities for my children during the summer months. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which summer camp to choose. That's why I've compiled a list of some of the best summer camps in Eindhoven for children of all ages.
-One of my top recommendations is the Summer Camp at De Ontdekfabriek. This unique camp offers a wide range of hands-on activities such as science experiments, robotics, and creative arts. Children will have the opportunity to explore their interests and develop new skills in a fun and interactive environment.

-If your child is interested in sports, the PSV Summer Camp is a perfect choice. This camp provides top-notch coaching in a variety of sports, including soccer, tennis, and swimming. Children will have the opportunity to improve their skills and learn from experienced coaches while making new friends and staying active.

- Piroc organizes a great summer camp with many fun, exciting and cool activities for children and young people with a mental and possibly physical disability.At Piroc they work with a theme every year during the camp week. Last year Piroc's theme was fairytales. And it's true what they say... they lived happily ever after! During the Piroc Fairytale Camp, for example, they were able to enjoy a real fairytale ball with champagne, a red carpet and a cool car in our most beautiful outfits. But that wasn't all; of course a trip to the Efteling during a fairytale camp could not be missed! With a fairytale book full of stories and experiences and a smile on our face, we unfortunately had to say goodbye after a beautiful week…

-A summer full of experiments, new friends and fun. During the Mad Science summer camp, children work on the coolest experiments, discover the world around them and also play outdoors.

-At ZOKA Summer Moves summer camps participants will experience the best week of the summer. Children as young as 6 years old, in a camp with children of their own age. They will be active all the time, spending a lot of time outdoors doing all kinds of sports and games. Of course, you don't have to be an athlete to find Summer Moves Summer Camps great. Everyone can join in.
Participants will sleep comfortably with their tent mates and chained together in a big tent. There is a great program for every age group. There are outdoor activities all day long: smuggling games, treasure hunts, swimming, singing songs by the campfire. You can also do gymnastics, dance or free running.
This camp is organized by the ZOKA Foundation and has been running for more than 60 years.
-Stichting de ster With a maximum of 31 other children and a group of supervisors the children will go camping for 6 days (the start camp lasts 4 days), in a very cool place in the Netherlands. First they will have a preliminary talk with someone from De Ster to see if the camp suits them and can help them.
During the camp the children do different activities like theatre, games, club, cool games, activities, Corfeesten and chill out, in the camp they work on their own goals. With that you get a lot of practice. As everyone has a goal at the camp, you can help each other. That's usually very good. You have your own mentor, who helps you with the things you want to learn.
In short: going to camp means having a great and fun week, where you also learn a lot of things!

-Natuuront Dekkers, This summer camp will be in Utrecht for children from 8 to 12 years old.

Everyone is welcome; you don't have to be "good" at anything! It's all about enjoying exploring and trying new things. There is also time for evening games, looking for animals and plants and sitting by the campfire. Part of the programme is provided by KidzKlix.
