January in Buenos Aires can be a challenge for the little ones if there are no plans in sight, but the classic event of every Buenos Aires summer is set to return. The 2027 Summer Sports Camps are opening their doors once again to fill the city’s sports centers with games, pools, and outdoor activities—all free of charge.
If you want to secure a spot for your children, you’ll have to act fast: spots are limited and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of online registration. Here’s the definitive guide to make sure you don’t miss out: registration dates, locations, and required documentation.
When does registration open for the City of Buenos Aires’ summer sports camps?
The registration schedule is divided into phases based on the type of camp:
- General Camp (children ages 4 to 12): Registration opens on November 2 at 10:00 a.m.
