GLADSTONE PARK

Beyond The Bell

Beyond the Bell brings a taste of our screen-free, harbour-side holiday camps (based at Balmain Rowing Club!) to the Festival of Balmain. Kids can dive into our colouring-in competition, paper-airplane contests, quick games, popcorn treats and a chilled bean-bag zone under shade. Parents can meet the BTB team and hear how our small-group, screen free, educator-led camps help kids feel safe, known and excited to explore outdoors and make friends.
