About Us
Our Story
Ellie and Geri first met in a Manly mothers' group back in 2014 and have been close friends ever since. In late 2023, they realised their complementary skills could come together to create something truly special for their community: a unique school holiday camp experience.
Recognising the demand for quality holiday programs, they were determined to offer more than just a child-minding service. Their vision was to create a camp where kids could gain practical, valuable skills while having fun. Education was a core focus, and they built their program around inspiring confidence, creativity, and imagination in every child.
In spring 2024, Ellie and Geri launched their first two camps to an overwhelmingly positive response. Parents and kids alike raved about the experience, with many calling it “the best camp ever!” Energised by this success, Ellie and Geri continue to develop and refine their offerings, excited for the bright future of Shakespeare and Soundtracks.
