About Kaleido
A place to belong. Room to grow.
JCP Kaleido Camps are tailored holiday programs designed for children aged 8–12. The camps provide meaningful experiences and mentorship, and support resilience and growth.
By understanding a child’s experiences early on and surrounding them with the right support, we help set them up for positive pathways in learning, wellbeing and belonging.
Support around them.
Connection and understanding that help children build resilience and a sense of belonging.
Steady through the holidays.
A safe, fun and predictable camp environment that helps children return to school feeling supported and ready to learn.

The right support, early on.
Please consider the camp referral criteria. If you have questions, contact the Kaleido Camps team.
- The child must be aged 8–12.
- The child would gain value from spending time with other young people in a safe, enjoyable, and supportive setting, and has shown the ability to engage well in similar environments.
- The family may be experiencing financial challenges that restrict access to typical school holiday activities.
Priority referrals are given to children who are struggling with school engagement, facing difficult life experiences, or have limited support around them.
