Register for a summer camp
Last updated on November 12th, 2025
Children between the ages of 4 and 15 years old are eligible to go to a summer camp. Around 45 summer camps are held across Barbados each year which are free to attend. Some cater for special interests such as cultural arts, sports and entrepreneurship. There is also a summer camp for children who have special needs.
The deadline to register for a place is approximately 2 weeks before the start of the camp.
Registration opens in May 2026.
How to register
Parents and guardians can register for a summer camp on behalf of a child/ward online.
If you do not have access to the internet or a smart device, colleagues at any community centre can help you register.
You will be asked to choose a first, second and third choice camp in case your first choice is full, or, in case of unforeseen circumstances at a location.
After you register
You'll receive an email confirming which camp you have been given a place at 3 to 5 days before the camp begins. If your first choice is unavailable, you will be given a place at your second or third choice camp.
Special needs and accessibility
When you register for a summer camp, you will be asked about a child's health and whether they have any special needs or accessibility needs. This information is used to help place the child in a camp that can meet their specific needs.
Volunteer at a summer camp
If you’re 16 years old or over and would like to volunteer as a camp assistant or camp director.
You can apply all year round but recruitment usually begins around April, and applicants can expect to hear if they were successful by mid-June. Volunteers need to be free to complete training in June.
How to give feedback or make a complaint
Shortly after the camp, you'll receive a survey online or on paper from your camp. The Research Department uses your anonymous responses to gather information that will help improve future camps.
