The National Summer Camp Programme is a Government of Barbados initiative run during the July-August school break, offering free or low-cost structured activities to children across the island. The programme covers a broad mix of sports including cricket, football, swimming, tennis, athletics and basketball, alongside entrepreneurship, filmmaking, IT and performing arts modules at centres in each parish. Registration is typically handled through a central office, and the programme has become a key part of summer childcare and enrichment for many working Bajan families.
