Summer is the perfect time for children to try new activities, make friends, stay active, and create lasting memories — and the right camp can make all the difference. Welcome to the TickiKids Guide to the Best Summer Camps 2026 in Abu Dhabi, your trusted resource for discovering the capital’s most exciting holiday programmes for children!
From creative arts and performing arts to sports, outdoor adventures, and hands-on learning experiences, we’ve rounded up camps that keep children engaged, active, and inspired all summer long. These carefully selected programmes offer far more than just childcare. They give children the chance to step away from screens, move their bodies, explore new interests, express creativity, and connect with others in safe, supportive environments. Along the way, children build confidence, develop new skills, discover new passions, and form friendships that can last well beyond the holidays.
Whether your child is an aspiring artist, curious inventor, budding performer, or energetic sports lover, there’s a camp to suit every personality and interest. Led by experienced educators, coaches, tutors, and activity leaders who know how to engage children— including those who may be shy or attending camp for the first time — these programmes ensure every child feels welcomed, supported, and ready to thrive!
