The summer program will run for 5 weeks, on weekdays from Monday 16 December, to Friday 31 January, with a break from Saturday 21 December to Sunday 5 January. The program will not be running on Public Holidays, or Tuesday 21 January due to our annual FREE family event, Footy Splash. 

Program days run from 8am - 5pm, with drop off from 8am-8:30am, and pick up from 3:30pm-5pm,  for $65 per day.

Each day will include a structured mix of activities focused on improving your child's fitness and skills in sport, while having fun.

• Upfront payment for each session is required at time of booking. If fees are not paid, your booking will be cancelled, and your child will not be able to participate in the program.  

• Parent/guardians are not required to be present for the duration of the sessions but must always be on call in case the ARC needs to get in contact.  Parents must be available to pick-up upon request. 

• The Kids Get Active is a license-exempt program and therefore the Child Care Rebate does not apply.  

• Sessions do not operate on public holidays. 

• If children are picked up after 5:00pm, a $30.00 late pick up fee will be charged for the first 30 minutes of lateness, and $30 accumulatively applied every 30 minutes thereafter. The late pick-up fee must be paid upon sign-out. 

• Cockburn ARC may change the program structure, content, or equipment at any time.  

• Children should be medically and physically able to participate in physical activity and understand instructions. The parent/guardians accept the inherent risks of undertaking exercise on their behalf. 

• Children and parents enter the Facility and surrounds and/or participate in programs, utilise the equipment and/or take advantage of services offered by Cockburn ARC  at their own risk.  

• Children must behave appropriately while participating in a Cockburn ARC program and will not engage in disruptive, dangerous, or inappropriate conduct. If the child demonstrates intolerable behaviours that presents risk to themselves, ARC property or others, parents/guardians will be notified to collect the child immediately and future bookings may be refused.
