Camp Overview

About the Variety Kids Camp

We’re excited to invite you to apply to volunteer at the 2026 Variety Kids Camp!

The Variety Kids Camp (previously Variety Kids Sports Camp) is a three-day camp, designed for children aged 6 to 17 who are disadvantaged, living with disability, or managing a chronic illness.

This year’s program offers a wide range of activities for children with all interests and abilities. Families can enjoy sport, creative sessions, sensory and social activities, nature-based play, and opportunities for both quiet moments and active exploration. Our goal is to create a space where every child feels comfortable, supported, and free to enjoy camp in their own way.

Volunteer roles

Volunteers will support Variety Staff to deliver the camp program in the following ways: 

  • Welcoming our families and helping them settle in, plus giving them a quick tour so they know where all the fun happens
  • Hanging out with campers and their families, getting to know them and being a friendly face throughout camp
  • Jumping into activities and helping campers join in on the action
  • Supporting families with whatever they need whether it is carrying bags, helping set up equipment, or enjoying some time outside together
  • Pitching in with general camp jobs like tidying, setting up activities, packing away and keeping the camp running smoothly

Please note: all volunteers are required to have a Working with Children Blue Card.

Volunteer Attendance Acknowledgment

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Variety Kids Camp. We have limited volunteer spaces available, so we ask that you only register if you are certain you can attend on the scheduled dates.

If your circumstances change at any time, please let us know as soon as possible. Early notice helps us offer your spot to another volunteer and ensures we have the right support in place for our kids.

Thank you for helping us create an amazing camp experience.

Are you available to attend the camp on Monday 29 June – Wednesday 1 July at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct?
