Our meals
The dining hall is the beating heart of our centre. The scene of healthy and nutritious daily meals, rowdy chatter and satisfied faces. We know your students will love our meals, but so will their parents. Our catering team understand what needs to be done with allergies and special diets, and lovingly prepare all our meals to the highest standards. Students are encouraged to try new foods as part of the camp experience with the understanding there will be some fussy eaters. Our camp experts work with you to meet these needs.
Clients are asked not to share their food with other clients under any circumstance or to take food from other clients as each client has their own dietary requirements and this is to reduce the risk of cross contamination.

“Our school chooses Office of Sport camps because of the great facilities, activities and staff. The staff at Sydney Academy are really helpful, accommodating and great with keeping the kids engaged. Even in the downtime there are things for the kids to do, they can do things like play basketball or beach volleyball, so they’re not just sitting in their cabins. The camp instructors always come up with ideas of things for them to do. And having older students in smaller group rooms with air conditioning and ensuites is really nice for them.”
