If you’re trying to figure out what to do with your kids during the school holidays in KL, you’re not alone. Finding something that’s actually well-organised, genuinely fun, and gives you a bit of breathing room as a parent? That’s a shorter list.
Camp Beaumont is one of the options that keeps coming up, and after sending Little Miss R for the first time in December 2025 (she was 5, joining the Magic programme), I can see why. She came home on day two already telling me she wanted to go to the summer 2026 holiday camp. That was all I needed to know.
Here’s everything you need to know about Camp Beaumont’s holiday camps in Kuala Lumpur: the programmes, what a typical day looks like, how booking works, and whether it’s worth it.

What Is Camp Beaumont?
Camp Beaumont is a holiday camp programme with over 40 years of experience running camps for children. Originally founded in the UK, it now operates in Asia under Camp Beaumont Asia, running camps during school holiday periods throughout the year.
In Kuala Lumpur, camps are held at two venues: Alice Smith School (primary and secondary campus), The British International School of Kuala Lumpur in Petaling Jaya, and ISKL (International School of Kuala Lumpur) in Ampang Hilir. The camps are open to all children, not just students of those schools, which makes it a great option for expat and international families across KL.
Programmes are divided by age group:
- Playtime (3-4 years): a half-day programme with a gentler pace, designed for younger kids
- Magic (5-7 years): a full-day programme packed with a mix of active, creative, and social activities
- Active (8-12 years): a full-day programme with more challenging and energetic activities
Camps run across multiple school holiday periods, including spring, summer, and winter, and other breaks throughout the year (October), so it’s not just a once-a-year option.
What Does a Day at Camp Beaumont’s Holiday Camp Look Like?
The day starts at 8:50 am, with drop-off no later than 9 am. From the moment kids arrive, staff have warm-up activities ready so there’s no awkward standing around waiting for the day to begin.
From there, children take part in up to 6 activity sessions across the day, broken up by snack and lunch breaks. The programme is intentionally varied, covering six different themes:
- Challenge Yourself
- Get Outdoors
- Get Connected
- Get Active
- Relax and Unwind
- Express Yourself
This mix means the day isn’t just full-on physical activity from start to finish, which honestly makes a difference for younger kids who need a change of pace.
To give you a real idea of what the week looks like, the Magic (5-7) winter programme included activities like Water Wars, Laser Tag, Football, Den Building, Circus Skills, Giant Board Games, and Jewellery Making. There’s a good balance of sporty, creative, and just plain fun. Below is another example of a Magic school holiday camp programme:
Collection times are at 3 pm for Magic and Active groups, and 12:30 pm for Playtime (3-4 years).
One thing worth knowing: parents can join a Telegram channel where the team shares photos from the day at the end of camp. It’s a small thing, but on day one with a new camp it makes a real difference to see your kid having the time of their life.
How Safe Is Camp Beaumont?
This was something I paid close attention to, especially since it was Little Miss R’s first time at a camp outside of her kindergarten.
Drop-off was seamless. There were plenty of staff on hand to guide her in, and the whole process felt calm and well-organised rather than chaotic. The password-protected collection system was something I appreciated straight away: whoever picks up your child must know the password you set at registration. No password, no child. Simple, but reassuring.
Staff-to-child ratios are kept tight:
- Playtime (3-4 years): 1:6
- Magic (5-7 years): 1:8
- Active (8-12 years): 1:12
Every child is assigned a key worker or group leader for their stay, and all staff go through background checks and reference verification before working with children. There are always at least two paediatric first aiders on site.
At the end of each day, photos from the camp are shared via the Telegram channel. It’s a small touch, but after a first day at a new camp it’s genuinely nice to scroll through and see your kid having a great time.
If there is ever an incident, parents are informed via a signed report form at collection, and contacted directly for anything more serious.
How to Book Camp Beaumont in KL
Booking is straightforward. Head to Camp Beaumont’s website and follow the registration process online. Once you’ve booked, the team will reach out with all the information you need, and you’ll receive the full welcome pack and final details in the week before camp starts.
A few things worth knowing before you book:
- You don’t have to commit to a full week. You can pick the days that work for you, with pricing adjusted per day. So if you’re planning a day trip on a Wednesday, you just book camp for the other days around it.
- Full payment is required at the time of booking. There’s no deposit or instalment option.
- A Flexi Ticket is available if you want the option to cancel or transfer dates free of charge. Worth considering if your plans are likely to change.
- Keep an eye on their socials (Facebook and Instagram) or get on their newsletter, as they often run early bird discounts. We signed up fairly early and the process was easy from start to finish.
If your child has any medical needs, dietary requirements, or needs extra support you can let the team know before camp starts to make sure everything is in place.
What to Pack for Camp Beaumont
The welcome pack covers this in detail, but here’s a practical breakdown by age group so you’re not scrambling the night before.
Playtime (3-4 years)
- Refillable water bottle
- 1 snack
- Spare set of clothes (including underwear)
- Suitable trainers or sneakers
- Any medication or EpiPens your child needs
- Labelled belongings
Magic (5-7 years) and Active (8-12 years)
- Refillable water bottle
- 2 snacks and lunch (outside of the summer season, check the website for current details on whether meals are provided)
- Spare set of clothes
- Suitable trainers or sneakers
- Any medication or EpiPens your child needs
- Labelled belongings
- On water play days, pack a towel and clothes you don’t mind getting soaked. The team will let you know the day before if water play is on the schedule.
A couple of things to leave at home: handheld gaming devices and iPods are not allowed at camp. If your child brings a phone, they’ll be asked to keep it switched off in their bag for the duration of the day.
One thing I’d add from experience: label everything. Lost property does get displayed at sign-in and sign-out each day, but named items are far easier to reunite with their owners.
Our Honest Take on Camp Beaumont
Little Miss R did three days of the Camp Beaumont holiday camp at ISKL last December, aged 5, on the Magic programme. Going in, I was confident she’d enjoy it as she was looking forward to it. However, she’d always done holiday camps through her kindergarten at KL International Kids Club, so this was her first time at something completely new, with a different crowd and a different setup.
She loved it.
By day two she came home telling me she wanted to go back in summer. That’s honestly the best review a camp can get from a 5-year-old.
What stood out most to us as parents was the energy of the place. The staff were enthusiastic and genuinely warm, and that set the tone for everything. The kids were a brilliant mix of different cultures and nationalities, which felt very true to KL, and she clicked with her group quickly.
Water play was one of her highlights, but so were the craft and creative sessions. Knowing her, that’s no surprise at all. The variety in the programme means there’s genuinely something for every kind of kid, whether they’re happiest running around or sitting down with a craft project.
From a parent’s perspective, drop-off was smooth every single day. There were always staff ready to guide the kids in, and I never once felt like I was leaving her somewhere disorganised. The Telegram updates at the end of the day were a nice bonus, especially on day one when you’re still in that “is she okay?” headspace.
We’ll definitely be signing her up again for the next camp, if we’re in town.
