School breaks in Chiang Mai don't have to mean a week of tablets and boredom. The camp scene here covers everything from Muay Thai to robotics, and the good ones tend to fill up a few weeks before the break actually starts. Here's a spread across different interests, so there's something whatever your kid is into.
For the energetic ones
The Camp Muaythai Resort & Academy runs a dedicated kids program for ages 6-12, built around confidence and coordination rather than just technique. If tennis is more the thing, Traidhos Tennis Academy runs camps with international coaching in small groups, covering both casual and more competitive junior players.
For something with more of an adrenaline edge, Progression Vertical Climbing Gym offers indoor and outdoor climbing camps, plus via ferrata and caving for older kids who want a bigger challenge.
For animal lovers
Happy Horse Stables (Casaka Stables) runs camps from age 6, kept small at 6 kids per group, with a mix of Friesian horses, Shetland ponies, and miniature horses. It's one of the more distinctive options on this list and a good pick for a kid who's never been near a horse before.
For the creative and curious
Art For Kids Chiang Mai and Crafty Art Club both run seasonal holiday camps alongside their regular classes — the first leans more technique-focused, the second is looser and more about open-ended making. Creative Art Workshop @Art-Self Studio is worth checking too, especially for older kids interested in ceramics.
If your kid is more into building than painting, EasyKids Robotics runs coding and robotics camps by age group, using micro:bit, mBot, and Arduino kits — their team has placed as a national finalist at FIRST Tech Challenge Thailand, so the program has real substance behind it.
For something a bit different
Play and Climb Gibbon Week, part of the Finding Your Wild Summer Play Camp at The Mud House, mixes a climbing wall with problem-solving activities for 7,500 THB a week — one of the more affordable options here. Chiang Mai Drama Centre also runs holiday camps alongside its regular theatre program, good for a kid who lights up on stage rather than on a climbing wall.
Booking tips
The well-known camps fill up fast, especially around the longer school breaks. If there's one your kid has been asking about, it's worth reaching out two to three weeks ahead rather than the week before — and worth having a backup on this list in case the first choice is full.
