Over 600 activities will be on offer throughout the Territory for the upcoming June-July school holidays to support local youth and community organisations, ensuring that Territory kids stay active, learn new skills, and connect with others during the break.

Holiday programs will be held in all regions, including Darwin, Palmerston, rural areas, Alice Springs and Central Australia; Katherine and the Big Rivers region; Nhulunbuy and East Arnhem; Tennant Creek and the Barkly area.

These programs will take place from June 21 to July 14, 2025, with some events beginning on the afternoon of the last day of the term.

Activities for the period will include disco nights, creative art workshops, dynamic sports clinics, and enjoyable movie afternoons to enrich the experiences of local youth.

Jack Dowden from Build Up Skateboarding said the holidays are the perfect chance for young people to try something new in a positive environment.

“We’re proud to be part of the school holiday program again, running skateboarding workshops that are challenging, rewarding, inclusive, and importantly accessible to all young Territorians.”

The Office of Youth Affairs of the Department of People, Sport and Culture said its upcoming calendar of events is developed in collaboration with various community organisations.
