Ten weeks. That's how long Czech summer holidays last. And while that's usually the best news for a kid, it lands differently when you're staring down a full inbox on a Tuesday morning in July, wondering how you’ll get everything done while keeping an eye on everyone.

It's one of those expat-parenting realities that nobody really mentions until you're already in it. But luckily, Prague and the surrounding area has no shortage of summer programs, many taught in English, for children of just about every age and interest.

Below is this year's guide to what's on across the city, covering everything from football and swimming to robotics, bilingual zoo adventures, and a week where children build and perform their own ballet from scratch. Spots at several of these are already going fast, so if something looks right for your child, contact the programs directly to sign up.

Minecraft and gaming camps

Most parents have already clocked that their child will happily spend hours inside Minecraft without any persuasion whatsoever. Threshold Language School and Logiscool use that to their advantage, running an English-immersion camp for children aged 9–15 where the game becomes the vehicle for collaboration, communication, and making friends. The City of Heroes camp runs July 7–10 and Aug. 24–28 in Barrandov. If neither date works, Threshold also runs Story to Screen Videomaking, Mermaiding, Round the World in Five Days, and Unusual Sports and Games across the summer.

Storybook-themed English camps

Located in Prague 5, Keytone English School runs a daily summer program inspired by classic stories like Alice in Wonderland, Pippi Longstocking, My Neighbor Totoro and more. Activities include cooking, experiments, drama, and outdoor sports, native English-speaking counselors. The program is open to children aged 4–14, who are divided into groups by age and skill level. Weekly tuition includes materials, a warm lunch, and two snacks, with vegetarian and other meal options available. Sessions run July 13–17, July 27–31, and Aug. 24–28, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Sports and STEM camps

Central Point runs two programs side by side at its Žižkov campus, which makes it a particularly useful option for families with children of different ages. The Early Years Camp takes children aged 3–6 through three themed weeks: Nature Detectives, World Explorers, and Mini Scientists, all led in English. Older children head out each morning to Vinohrady Sokol for sports and games, before returning to campus for lunch and an afternoon of STEM and science activities. Both programs run July 13–31.

Small-group language programs

Most language programs put children in groups of 10 or 12 and hope something sticks. The Villa caps classes at six, which may help reluctant speakers feel more confident in their language learning. Running throughout the summer for children aged 6–12 and teens aged 13–18, the camps offer English, German, Spanish, or French through games, creative projects, and outdoor activities rather than anything resembling a classroom. Czech language support and adult courses are also available year-round for families putting down longer roots.

STEAM and football programs

With four distinct programs on offer, Prague British International School is worth a look even if you're not quite sure what your child wants from a summer camp yet. Younger children join Summer Fun Junior for creative play, drama, music, and outdoor activities, while those aged 7–12 can experience STEAM challenges and themed trips, football training with a former professional Sparta FC player, or English Explorers, which pairs morning language lessons with afternoon fun for children. Camps run at the school's Prague 4 campuses, with shuttle buses available from Prague 2 and Prague 6.

Animal-themed bilingual camps

Based at its kindergarten in Vyšehrad, Indigo Kids runs a bilingual Czech-English camp for children aged 3–7 that works its way through the animal kingdom one week at a time, from the African savannah and big cats to reptiles, jungle primates, and more. Each theme incorporates a well-rounded curriculum of arts and crafts, games, experiments, songs, and field trips around Prague. There's also a pool on-site for when the weather warms up. Families can sign up for a single week or several, with all running from July 13–Aug. 28.

Multi-sport summer camps

If your child wants variety instead of one specific activity, SportKids offers one of the broadest selections in Prague. Camps cover cycling, inline skating, scooters, climbing, tennis, swimming, and general sports programs, alongside themed weeks like Epic Sports Adventure and Sport and Science. International families are welcome, and healthy snacks are included, which any parent packing lunches every morning will probably appreciate more than they expected. Locations are spread across Prague.

Czech language summer programs

EduJoy's 'I Speak, I Understand, I Join In' summer program focuses on speaking and comprehension through games, conversation, creative activities, and practical everyday communication in Czech. Courses are recommended primarily for those aged 6–15, with groups divided by age and language level. In-person classes take place in Nové Město, with online options also available. The summer intensive courses run July 6–17, July 20–31, Aug. 3–14, and Aug. 17–28; early registration recommended due to limited group capacity.

International school summer camps

BASIS Prague splits its summer offering between younger children in Břevnov and school-aged kids in Podolí, both fully in English and led by international teachers. For those aged 5–12, camp themes include space and architecture, combining creative projects with outdoor activities and collaborative learning. Preschoolers get their own version, with Jungle Safari, Olympics, and Little Chefs-themed weeks designed around movement, storytelling, and early social development. Programs run through August in Prague 4 and Prague 6.

Activity-based summer programs

Park Lane International School's English-friendly summer program is open to outside families as well as current students, and the activity list makes it worth considering. Children aged 3–10 are grouped by age and rotate through cooking, arts and crafts, bowling, pottery, magic workshops, paddleboarding, and horse riding across the week, with trips to Zoopark Zájezd and Brechtold Castle thrown in. The four-week program runs July 7–31 at the school’s Prague 6 campus, with optional bus transport available.

Outdoor sports programs

Jingle Bells Camp keeps things simple, with children spending most of their day outside. Running June 29–Aug. 21, the English-language summer program focuses on sports, movement, swimming, and outdoor games, with activities adapted for different age groups. Children aged 3–9 are divided accordingly, while younger toddlers can join a separate summer program. It's within walking distance to Letná Park, along with several playgrounds, so there are plenty of green spaces to keep children active instead of stuck all day indoors.

Swimming day camps

For children who would happily spend the entire summer in water, ZŠ PRO DĚTI has built a program around exactly that. Two lessons a day, kids grouped by age and ability, with outdoor games filling the gaps. They have six locations across Prague to choose from, plus camps in Jablonec nad Nisou and Brandýs nad Labem. Programs happen rain or shine, are English-friendly, and are open to children aged 5–13.

Robotics and coding camps

Maker Camp, based in Žižkov, is aimed squarely at children who'd rather spend their summer building something. This bilingual Czech-English day camp for ages 6–11 combines robotics, 3D printing, programming, crafting, and creative problem-solving into a week-long, space-themed adventure. This year's Astronauts and Aliens program includes decoding secret messages, designing space bases, and tackling collaborative projects that blend technology with imagination. Camps run July 27–31 and Aug. 3–7.

Outdoor adventure camps

If the idea of your child spending a week climbing, canoeing, biking, and hiking appeals more than another afternoon in a classroom, Riverside Elementary's Skills for Life Suburban Summer Camp is worth moving on quickly. The camp runs just one week (June 29–July 3) at a spacious school facility in Sedlec, right next to Prague 6, for children aged 3–13. Spots are going fast and the sign-up deadline is June 10, so don’t wait too long to sign up.

English preschool summer camps

Returning for its 13th year, Florentinum Preschool's all-day English summer camp runs July 1 to Aug. 28 for children aged two to seven, with a new theme each week tying everything together across morning language sessions, afternoon arts and crafts, sports, and clubs in cooking, reading, and art. Regular excursions get children out of the building, too. It sits right in Prague 1 near Metro Florenc, and there's parking on-site for drop-off.

Ballet workshops and lessons

The First International Ballet School of Prague is offering a weeklong program where children don't just learn ballet, they actually create one. Build a Ballet Summer Camp, running Aug. 3–7 at the school's Prague 1 studios, guides children aged 6–11 through choreography, storytelling, costume ideas, and rehearsals before ending with a performance for family and friends. The school is also hosting shorter workshops and performances for younger dancers and offering private summer lessons for children who want more focused training.

Art and ceramics workshops

Fine Art Studio Malování kreslení has been running creative workshops and camps in Prague for 16 years, making it one of the more established options for artistically inclined children. The studio offers day camps and workshops covering everything from watercolor, ceramics, comics, animation, and illustration to more unusual formats like painting with coffee or wine. English-language instruction is available, and the school also prepares students for art school entrance exams.

Bilingual play-based camps

At Playgrow in Jiřího z Poděbrad, summer camp leans into the idea that younger children learn best through activities that feel more like an energetic playdate than class time. Designed for kids aged 3–8, the bilingual English-Spanish program mixes yoga, water play, music, STEM activities, sensory games, cooking, and outdoor adventures. Czech-speaking staff are also on hand to help children settle in comfortably. Camps run throughout the summer, though registration closes June 15 or once spaces fill.

Arts and outdoor workshops

Perrott Hill British School Prague opens its doors to outside families this summer, not just current students, for children aged 5–12. The program blends creative arts, collaborative sports, and hands-on workshops in a fully English-speaking environment, with the emphasis firmly on trying new things, building friendships, and making the most of a school that has a genuine sense of community behind it. Enrollment is open through the end of May, with limited spots available.

Football and activity camps

Lil Ballers is a bilingual football program that combines sports training with English language exposure through play. That often looks like team games and bracelet-making, football skills and a mini tournament, pool day, a trip to Lasergame Galaxy, and obstacle courses. The full-day programs at Perrott Hill British Primary School in Ládví are open to children aged 5–13 and will run throughout July and August.

Families who want to learn about additional ways to support children in Czechia can also explore Patron dětí, a charity project helping socially and medically disadvantaged children and their families. The organization connects donors with verified requests for practical needs such as summer camps, school supplies, extracurricular activities, and rehabilitation. All collected money goes toward the child’s specific support, while operating costs are covered by the Sirius Foundation.

Summers can feel long when you've got a full household, but Prague makes it manageable. For older children looking to start their journey to university, explore some of the higher-education opportunities available across Czechia.
