Six-week summer camp brings sport, creativity, innovation and experiential learning for children aged 6–13 in Jeddah
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – June 2026: British International School Jeddah (BISJ) has announced the launch of its ‘Summer Camp 2026’, a six-week youth development initiative delivered in partnership with Nujoom Sports Management and designed to support the growth of children aged 6–13 through sport, STEAM, innovation, creativity, and experiential learning.
Running from 5 July to 13 August 2026 and hosted on the BISJ campus, the camp is open to both BISJ students and the wider Jeddah community. It encourages children to develop new skills, build confidence, and explore their interests in a supportive and engaging environment. Unlike traditional holiday camps, every activity stream is delivered by recognised experts in their field, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Academy KSA, BR Performance Swimming, All Stars Basketball Academy, Takween, and Jeddah Yacht Club.
Through a diverse range of experiences spanning football, swimming, basketball, sailing, coding, robotics, engineering and creative design, the programme aims to promote active lifestyles while fostering teamwork and resilience. It enables participants to continue developing academically, socially and physically during the summer break.
Helen Olds, Director, The British International School Jeddah (BISJ), said: “At BISJ, we are committed to providing high-quality opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom and support the holistic development of young people. Children benefit most when they are given a chance to continue exploring, creating, collaborating, and challenging themselves in different environments and contexts. The summer camp will play an important role in helping children develop the confidence and adaptability needed to thrive through enriching experiences that encourage curiosity, independence, and personal growth. By opening the programme to the wider Jeddah community, we are also creating opportunities for more children to access meaningful learning experiences that inspire them to discover new interests, build lasting skills, and realise their potential.”
By bringing together leading sports academies and specialist organisations under one programme, BISJ is offering a comprehensive experience that supports youth engagement, community participation, wellbeing, and personal development while helping children make the most of their summer break.
Registration is now open for the BISJ Summer Programme 2026 across all six weeks. Families can find out more and secure a place via [Booking Form].
