    Are there any holiday programs for kids of working mothers in HK?

    Surely the maid doesn't look after them full time esp in the summer holidays?

    Hi Rani, yes the ESF sports camps are the only ones I have found. Over summer they run 9 to 3 which isn't long enough, and over Xmas they were 9 to 11.30.

    Basically I am wondering if I get a day job how do I manage the holidays?

    There's also Treasure Island

    I think most places, like Kids Gallery do morning and afternoon activities for kids. So you'll have to join 2 sessions if you want to keep them occupied all day. Otherwise just do morning sessions and in the afternoons organise playdates with friends, trips to Ocean Park etc.

    I remember the fees of the classes and day camps I saw last summer, from $75 -100/hr min., same fees anywhere in HK. A half day camp for 3 hours already costs $300.
