Cambridge Park has plenty of clubs and studios in the suburb, and a handful of holiday-friendly events a short trip away in Penrith. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar before you plan.
What is on near Cambridge Park
The events below are mostly in Penrith. They include Community Fishing, Robotics, Dharug Story Time with Jasmine Seymour and Penrith City Library's Children's Team, and the Write Out West Family Fun Day. There is also a carnival at Panthers Penrith. We don't have session times, ages or prices for these, so check with each organiser before you head out and ask whether you need to book.
Clubs and venues in the suburb
Quite a few local groups are based in Cambridge Park itself. You will find Nepean Aquatic Centre, All Star Dance and Entertainment Studios, Penrith District Cheerleading and Penrith Gaels Maher Lenihan Irish Dance. For sport there are Penrith RSL Junior Rugby Union Club, Jordan Springs Football Club and PI Sports. World Cue Sports is there too, for kids who like cue games.
Many clubs run on a term timetable. Ask each one if it has holiday sessions, a trial class or a break in training.

Planning your days
Try one outing and one quiet day each week so nobody burns out. The events are in Penrith, so allow travel time from Cambridge Park and check parking or transport with the organiser. If a place asks you to book, do it early, as holiday spots can fill.
We're still adding holiday programs near Cambridge Park, so this list will grow. For the latest times, ages and costs, always go to the organisers' own pages. See the events and clubs below for the current list.
