The format
A La Folie summer camp is a structured, multi-activity day camp for children aged 2.5 to 12, run indoors at partner sports venues and activity centres in Dubai. Children are grouped by age, 2.5 to 5 and 6 to 12, and follow a fixed daily timetable of sport, creative work, movement and free play led by La Folie coaches who are trained in child psychology and first aid. It is not a drop-in play area and it is not a sports academy. It is a full holiday programme with a rhythm, a coach-to-group structure and a different activity mix every day, so a child can book a single day, a week or several weeks without repeating the same session twice.
La Folie is a Dubai children's experience company with more than 11 years behind it, delivering 700+ events a year across Dubai, the UAE, Lebanon and the GCC. Camps sit alongside birthday parties, child development programmes and kids workshops in the same programme team, which is why the camp day is built like a curriculum rather than a schedule of babysitting slots.
La Folie summer camps have run Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, with drop-off from 9:00 am and a supervised snack break in the middle of the day. The October 2026 half-term camp runs a shorter day, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Families book by the day, the week or multiple weeks, and each week is self-contained, so a child joining in week three is not behind. Exact hours for Summer Camp 2027 will be published when the dates are announced.
Activity names are drawn from the timetables La Folie has actually run in Dubai. The published day-by-day timetable for the camp currently open is on the camps page schedule.
To each their own joy. Every child finds the activity that lights them up.
Why it is worth the week
The Dubai summer is long, indoor and easy to lose. A camp week gives a child four things a screen cannot.
Daily coached sport, tennis, padel, football, basketball, gymnastics and mixed martial arts, taught by specialists rather than supervised as free play. Most children finish a week able to do something they could not do on Monday.
Pottery, construction, crafts, music and robotics sessions that produce a finished object. Children take work home, which is what makes the week feel real to them.
Camp asks a child to try an unfamiliar activity in front of people they met that morning. La Folie coaches are trained in child psychology, and the day is deliberately structured so that a shy child gets a low-stakes entry point into every block.
Camp groups mix children from different Dubai schools and nurseries. For families new to the UAE, a camp week is one of the fastest ways for a child to build a circle before term starts.
Practical
Label everything with your child's name. La Folie asks families to send the same short list every day.
Venues and areas
La Folie does not own a camp site. It runs its camps inside partner sports venues and activity centres in Dubai, which is why the venue changes from one school break to the next. Venues used so far include Grip Sports, Jumeirah Heights, HandPrint, Al Wanes Street, Umm Suqeim 1, and HandPrint, City Walk, which hosted Summer Camp 2026. All are indoor, air-conditioned spaces with dedicated sports courts, activity rooms and supervised drop-off.
Camp families travel from across Dubai, most commonly from Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina, JBR, Emirates Hills, the Meadows and Springs, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown and Business Bay. La Folie also brings its coaches to you for parties and private programmes across the same neighbourhoods.
Booking
La Folie takes no payment at the moment you register. The process is the same for every camp it runs in Dubai.
Cancellations and changes are covered by the La Folie refund policy. Questions before you book go to contact or straight to WhatsApp.
Pricing reference
The rates below are La Folie's published prices for the camp currently open, the October 2026 half-term camp.

All prices are per child and exclude 5% VAT.
Buyer's guide
Dubai has a lot of summer camps and the listings all look the same in August. These are the questions worth asking before you pay for a week, whether the answer sends you to La Folie or somewhere else.

All are indoor, air-conditioned spaces with sports courts, activity rooms and supervised drop-off.
