What is Gosh! Kids Go?

Gosh! Kids Go is an overseas creative-culture programme designed for parents and children to unleash creativity, immerse in foreign cultures, strengthen bonds, connect with nature, and make memories as a family.

This March Holidays 2026, we are going to West Java, Indonesia, as a family!

In this family camp, participants will:

  • Slow down from the hyper-pace of Singapore, unplug from the stressful environments of school and work

  • Strengthen family unity and relational bonds

  • Spend quality time in self-reflection

  • Go screen-less, immerse in wild, untouched nature

  • Experience Indonesian creative-culture, use hands to create, and discover their creative identities

  • Be part of a community of like-minded families who are curious about the world beyond home

  • Foster new friendships among parents and children

📆 Date:

14th - 18th March 2026 (school holidays)

📍Location:

Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For Ages:

For parents and children aged 4 and above

📍 Camp Location: Sukasantai Farmstay

Our camp is based at Sukasantai Farmstay, a ten-hectare organic farm, fruit orchard and bamboo forest.

Sukasantai was founded in 2019 by a mother and daughter from Jakarta who are passionate about cultivating organic vegetables for health and committed to responsible agriculture as a way to care for the environment.

The farmstay was designed by Goy Architects, blending modern and vernacular elements, and have earned multiple international architecture awards.

As a family-run enterprise, Sukasantai is primarily staffed by locals from the village, Desa Sukamaju. They are not part of a resort chain or franchise—Sukasantai is a family farm, built and nurtured with love.

Participants will be based here throughout the duration of the camp.

Theme: Recalibrate, Refocus, Reconnect

When we are online, or body is here but our mind is over there.

When we are offline, we align our body and mind to the here and now.

Which is why we feel that our limited internet connectivity is not a bad thing. The slow connection makes our phone a little less tempting to pick up.

Without the distraction, inhabiting the stillness of the moment becomes natural.

And in that stillness, there is rest and real connection.

Edward & Gwen,
Parents of Emily, 8 years old
Chiang Mai (2024), West Java (2025)

This is my second time bringing Emily for a Gosh Kids overseas camp — and it’s 100% no regrets. The theme this round was “Recalibrate, Refocus and Reconnect”, and the camp truly delivered on all three fronts. Gladys and Mathieu picked the perfect spot for families to slow down and just suka-santai. Like our Chiang Mai experience, this camp was thoughtfully organised with both kids’ and parents’ needs and interests in mind. The activities gave us the chance to pause, soak in a new culture, and reconnect with nature. Gladys has a real gift for connecting with children of all ages and personalities. Emily is naturally reserved, but Gladys was non-judgemental and always found gentle ways to bring out the best in her. Mathieu, on the other hand, is the fun and friendly teacher every child naturally gravitates towards. Thank you both, and cheers to yet another successful camp!

Fion Zhuo,
Mother of Coen, 9 years old
West Java (2025), Chiang Mai (2025)

We had such a great experience at our first camp in West Java with Goshkids that we signed up again for their Chiang Mai session. While the overall concept remains the same, the activities and experiences offered are unique to each location. The camp’s core elements—photography, journaling, and podcasting—are still central, but I especially enjoyed the additional activities like farming and the local school exchange.

Adrian and Ai Ling,
Parents of Ashlynn & Ava, 9 & 5 years old, West Java (2025)

The camp surpassed all our expectations. The girls had a chance to see and try for themselves the farm to table experience ( from planting, harvesting juicing ) to simple joys in life such as fishing and feeding cows. At the same time they have a chance to reflect through journaling and photography to pique their curiosity. Teacher Matt and Ms G were engaging and patient with the kids. We would definitely do another camp experience with them !

Daniel and Desiree,
Parents of Ari & Oli, 5 & 1 years old, West Java (2025)

It was such a treat to have 5 days of slowing down and being with our family on a gorgeous farm. With everything taken care of from the moment our plane landed, we could immerse ourselves in enjoying each other and the nature all around us. Gladys and Mathieu have the rare gift of holding space for children - even my usually shy son warmed up quickly to them and wished we could stay for ‘a billion days’.

Carol Lum,
Mother of Seth, 5 years old
Chiang Mai, 2025

We wanted to plan something interesting during the September break for my high ability kid. So we began looking for short learning trips and found Gosh Kids. The Chiang Mai camp was Seth's first ever camp and my first solo parenting trip overseas (in a city I've never visited too!). Naturally, we had quite a bit of anxiety and had doubts building up.

But despite the incessant questions, Team Gosh Kids were warm and assuring in every step. They were very clear and prompt in their communication. Their programme was paced comfortably and held ALL the kids' interest. More importantly, they are masters at handling conflict resolutions!

At the camp, they delivered everything in the programme and more. Seth grew more empathetic towards plants and insects. He became braver in exploring deep mud and uneven terrains. My son also acquired new social skills in this outdoor unstructured peer interactions. We came with minimum expectations but Seth left Chiang Mai with a core memory.

I highly encourage all mothers to embark on this parent-child camp if you want to bond/reconnect with your child. This 5-day experience may be short, but it's deeply impactful and life-changing for the kids!

FAQs

  • As a creative arts programme provider, we are in constant search for powerful ways to strengthen creativity in our children. We recognise that the world is our oyster—creativity is not confined to what we find familiar or to our immediate surroundings.

    There are benefits in exploring fresh and new frontiers. Children can learn effectively about the world and discover their creative identities by experiencing novel and foreign expressions. Through our overseas creative-culture camps, we want to bridge the world into their lives.

  • We are dedicated to crafting an extraordinary creative learning experience for you and your child.

  • Being 1000m above sea level, Sukasantai Farmstay has a cool and comfortable temperature all year round, which means that they do not need to use air-conditioning or heater. They have two distinctive season - dry and rainy. The dry season is characterized by colder nights and clear starry skies. while you won't see the stars much during the rainy season, the wet weather brings with it a troop of sparkly fireflies to our farm grounds almost everyday.

  • The physical aspects of the programme will include nature trails and hiking. It’s beginner-friendly and isn’t physically-demanding. We will ensure that frequent breaks are incorporated into our schedule. However, do let us know if you have any concerns.

  • English will be the main language of communication throughout the programme.

  • Please pack warm clothes like sweater, jackets, long sleeved shirt and pants as it gets cold at night and in the morning. It's a farm, so you'll be walking on unpaved ground, so please bring comfortable walking shoes or sandals.

  • Most of the farm area are mosquito free, but there are more mosquitoes in the valley area, especially at around sunset. If you need to use some mosquito repellent spray, feel free to ask ground staff (or you can bring your own). Sukasantai makes their own mosquito repelling oils from distilling citronella plants at the farm - it is not toxic and smells very nice!

  • One of the things we want to encourage you to do during your holiday with us is to put down your phone, be in the moment and enjoy your friends and family's company.

    However, we do realize that sometimes you need to stay connected to home and or work, and so we do provide complimentary wi-fi in the common areas only (reception, kitchen and dining areas).

  • We do not have TV in each room, but we do have a large screen projector at the commons.

  • Currently the government does not have a waste disposal or recycling system in our village, and so, at Sukasantai we try our best to minimise waste and avoid single-use plastic packaging and products. We don't provide single-use toothbrush, but we do sell regular toothbrush that you can use and bring home.

  • No, we do not have swimming pool. We are a farm, not a resort. Swimming pools are costly to maintain, and any way, you do not want to be swimming in our cold weather.

  • This is a strictly non-smoking facility.

Why is it important for your child to see the world?
