Australian International School Malaysia Holiday Camps

Arrowhead Skills multi-activity camps are for students aged 4-12 (in reception and above), our multi-sport and English language camps are for students aged 8-15.

An Arrowhead Skills camps begins at 09:00, but students can be dropped off from 08:30. Pick-up is between 14:45-15:00. All times are subject to change if required and all updates will be provided in your parents portal, via our WhatsApp Channel or email.

Your child does not need to attend the school where the camp is held. The camp is open to all students who meet the application criteria of age and English level.

Yes, your child must speak / understand English to attend an Arrowhead Skills multi-activity or multi-sport camp. This is for their own safety to ensure they understand the instructions given to them by the instructors, but also for their own enjoyment and to ensure they are able to participate fully with the other Arrowheads. For the Arrowhead Skills language camp, your child will be tested for their English language level and assigned a group based on their English ability.

We do not provide the full programme in advance. Camps are tailored to student numbers, age groups, and returners. See the website for an example timetable and activities based on our four pathways: Move, Create, Build, and Perform. Where possible, on the weekend prior to camp starting we will issue an update on the weekly activities in your parents portal. We also have videos available on our YouTube channel for you to watch with your children to give them an idea of what to expect on camp.

At certain camps we will have a professional photographer take photos or we will have dedicated instructors to do so. Photos will be provided to you via your parent’s portal after the camp has finished. We aim to do this ASAP, however as some parents opt not to have photos of their child taken, this can lead to some delays in finalizing the photo folders whilst we check that none have appeared inadvertently.

All information required for the camp will be in your parents’ portal on the website, within the camp hub, you just need to log in using the person icon at the top of the page or “My Account” link at the bottom of the page. This will contain everything you need from the address of the school, camp timings and policies where appropriate. You can contact us on WhatsApp if you have any further questions and we will not send out any emails with information in, everything is stored in your account on the website.

At this time we do not offer a sibling or group discount. We offer an early bird discount or if eligible, a “Legends” discount. This will be automatically applied to your account at check out if your child has attended 4 or more camps with us.

Class sizes are 15–20 students with at least 2 adult instructors per class and more where the activity requires it. We have additional staff to handle logistics so instructors can focus on the activities and students. We have a camp leadership team available on every camp who are available to speak to at pick-up or drop-off as well as a camp nurse on site at all times.

Arrowhead Skills provides all materials, two meals per day, and ×2 camp t-shirts. If your t-shirt does not fit, it can be exchanged on day 2 at drop-off provided it is unworn.

If the school has a pool, it will usually be used during camp. Non-swimmers can participate from the poolside or receive support in the water from trained staff. A lifeguard is always on duty and we have instructors in the pool and on the pool side. You may also provide flotation devices such as pool noodles or life jackets if you prefer.

Students attending multiple weeks will experience different activities each week, but all camps maintain the four core pathways as a foundation in our multi-activity camps, whilst our multi-sport camps will offer different sporting activities each time.

Where possible we try to group friends or family together, but all groupings are done by age. All requests must be made at the time of booking by completing the relevant information on the form and we cannot guarantee all requests can be accepted and will depend on the size of the camp and classes.

We work with the school caterer to provide two healthy meals each day, and a snack. The first meal is at 10:20, a healthy snack (usually fruits) is offered at 11:40 and lunch is served at 13:00. You may also provide snacks and additional food, but please ensure no nuts and that you adhere to any communication from Arrowhead Skills in case of any sever allegies from other participants. Students are encouraged to drink water regularly, and juice is provided with meals where appropriate. All dietary requirements and allergies should be submitted at sign-up, and we coordinate with the catering team to accommodate them. It is your responsibility to accurately record any allergies or dietary requirements.

Prior to camp starting, Arrowhead Skills will collect all necessary information from parents or guardians to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience at the time of booking. Please provide any treatment plans or additional medical notes via email to the Arrowhead Skills team as needed and the nurse will be available at pick-up or drop-off if required to discuss the needs of the child.

A nurse is present at every camp, and robust procedures are in place for any medical emergency. All necessary medical and dietary information must be submitted accurately before camp including accurate contact details so we can contact you if necessary. When you sign up to the camp, you will need to acknowledge and agree to Arrowhead Skills procedures in relation to medical treatment.

Each child should bring a labelled hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and a spare change of clothes. If the school has a pool, swimming is usually twice a week and you will be notified on which days you need to bring swimming costumes, goggles, towel, and anything else your child needs for swimming.

We provide a dedicated WhatsApp number and email, monitored by the camp director, for all camp communications.

We do offer a bus service for selected camps and this is a paid for service. The bus departs from a Taylor’s group school such as TISKL, TISPC, Nexus or AISM and will go direct with no stops to the school where the camp is located. Students will be registered onto the bus, have their temperature checked and be accompanied by a member of the Arrowhead Skills team whilst on the bus.
