Frequently Asked Questions

Rocketeers (3)

Category: Rocketeers

Camp Australia provides a school holiday program called Rocketeers.

Operating in over 200 schools during the school holidays, one of the wonderful things about Rocketeers is that you’re free to pick and choose the location of your enrolment and are not limited to the school that your child attends during the school term.

To find your nearest and the latest Rocketeers program, search your suburb here

Category: Rocketeers

That’s completely fine. Your child can still attend any of our other amazing Rocketeers Extraordinary School Holiday Program locations.

Maybe you’re away from friends, looking for a closer spot to home, or keen on one of the programmed experiences at a different school – you can choose which Rocketeers program your child attends.

Simply choose the preferred location on our easy booking system and your child can attend the Rocketeers location that best suits your family.

Categories: Rocketeers, Your OSHC

On your child’s first Before School Care session, you’ll drop your child with us at the dedicated OSHC area at your school.

Our staff will meet with you and your child and address any anxious worries or questions either of you may have. Once you’re comfortable to leave, we’ll welcome your child into our activities.

Prior of the morning school bell ringing, our staff will walk with your child to their classroom to ensure they know where to go and to make sure they arrive happy and safe to continue their first day.

We understand the first After School Care session can be nerve-racking for parents and children. To make the process easier, our friendly staff will meet your child at their classroom to help them orientate and learn where they need to go for future sessions.

Our educators will introduce your child to the Coordinator, other educators and children who will be participating in the OSHC session.

During your child’s first session we also pair them up with a ‘buddy’ who will welcome them into the group and encourage them to build friendships and participate in activities.

At the end of your first session, we like to send you a text to see how it all went and how our new little member is feeling after their afternoon adventures. We appreciate all feedback so you can tailor our services to your family’s needs.

First time at Rocketeers?

We get it. Little minds can find starting a new holiday camp scary and daunting. Our mission is to ensure your child feels safe and welcomed to give them the opportunity to blast off into their day, make new friends, and have fun on new adventures.

Our friendly crew will meet with your child on the day, welcome them to the group and brief them on what the day will look like. If you or your child have any questions on the morning, our friendly staff will be more than happy to answer those for you.
