Easter Holiday Camps for Kids in Cyprus 2027: Sports, Arts and English-Language Camps

Cyprus public schools break up for Easter on Monday 26 April 2027 and go back after Friday 7 May (primary) or Sunday 9 May (secondary), so working parents need around two weeks of cover. Easter camps exist in every city, from football and STEM weeks to museum workshops. As of October 2026, though, most 2027 Easter camp dates and prices had not been published.

The providers below ran Easter or school-holiday camps in 2025 or 2026, labelled by year. Confirm 2027 dates directly with each provider.

When are the Easter school holidays in Cyprus in 2027?

Orthodox Easter Sunday falls on 2 May 2027, with Good Friday (30 April) and Easter Monday (3 May) as public holidays. The Ministry of Education's rules close public primary schools from Holy Monday to the Friday after Easter week, which in 2027 means 26 April to 7 May. The Ministry's 2026–27 circular for public secondary schools gives 26 April to 9 May 2027. Our guide to Cyprus school holidays 2026–27 has the full calendar.

Private and international schools set their own dates. Several close around Orthodox Easter like public schools, but some British-calendar schools also break for Western Easter, which is on 28 March 2027. If your children are at different schools, the breaks may not line up, and some camps (like the Aphrodite Hills football week below) run in early April rather than around Orthodox Easter.

What kinds of Easter camps are there in Cyprus?

Easter camps are shorter and fewer than summer camps, and many run only in the week before or after Easter Sunday, when families are busy with church services and lunches. The main types are:

• Football and multi-sport campsRun by academies and resorts, usually mornings only.
• STEM, science and robotics campsOften in English, at private learning centres.
• School holiday camps at private and international schools, sometimes open to children from other schools.
• Art and museum workshopsTypically one session of 90 minutes at a low price, mostly in Greek.
• Free youth-space workshops run by the Youth Board of Cyprus.

Easter and holiday camps at a glance

When should you book an Easter camp?

Start looking in February. Easter camps last a week at most, groups are small and many are announced only a few weeks ahead, usually on the provider's social media first. Some providers plan further ahead: Aphrodite Hills already listed its April 2027 week in October 2026, and Little Scientists says its summer places open in April and go fast. If you need cover for both weeks of the public school break, you may have to combine two providers, as some camps run only in the week after Easter.

What should you pack for a holiday camp?

Late April and early May in Cyprus can already be hot at midday, and most camps are partly outdoors. Pack:

• A refillable water bottle, sun hat and sunscreen.
• A snack and lunch unless the camp provides meals (some, like Pascal in 2026, include them).
• Trainers and sports clothes, plus shin pads for football.
• Swimwear and a towel if the camp uses a pool.
• A spare T-shirt, and name labels on everything.

How do you check a camp is safe and properly run?

Cypriot law (Law 91(I)/2014, section 22(6)) requires anyone who takes on staff or volunteers for activities with frequent contact with children to see a police certificate showing they are not on the register of people convicted of sexual offences against children. Employers who do not check commit a criminal offence. It is fair to ask a camp:

• Whether all staff have these police certificates.
• What coaching or teaching qualifications staff hold (Aphrodite Hills, for example, names FA and UEFA-qualified coaches).
• The adult-to-child ratio, and who is trained in first aid.
• Whether the camp has insurance, and how pick-up is controlled.
• Which language sessions are run in, as this varies between providers.

Trust your instincts: a well-run camp will answer these questions without fuss.

What to do next
