Know Before You Book

The City Day-Camp Specialist

The Netherlands has a highly functional Day Camp culture centered in Amsterdam and The Hague. Because most Dutch parents work, these camps are designed to be efficient, well-run, and city-accessible — but they often lack the "Luxury Residential" feel found in Switzerland or England.

Most camps run 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM — a genuine full working day
Ajax Camp: Metro accessible via Bijlmer Arena station
NewTechKids: drop-off at OBA Central Library, steps from Centraal Station
Only 1 verified full-residential football option exists (Montessori Sports)
Day Camps (Most options)
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM · Parents arrange hotel

Ajax, NewTechKids, The Hague Summer School (day option), Cruyff Foundation. Best for families already based in the Netherlands or staying in Amsterdam.

Residential (Very limited)
Only 1 verified full-board football option

Montessori Sports International is the only verified full-boarding football camp for international visitors. If your child needs residential accommodation, this is the one.

Netherlands camp booking tips

Ajax: take the Metro

De Toekomst is directly accessible via Amsterdam Metro — Bijlmer Arena station. No car needed. Factor in 20–25 minutes from the city centre for drop-off.

Need residential? Book Montessori early

Montessori Sports is the only verified full-board football option in the Netherlands. With limited places and international demand, it books out months in advance.

Ajax: one week only

The main Ajax summer academy runs just one week (July 6–10). If that week doesn't work, the Matchday Experience is available on selected dates throughout the year.
