Hey hey Koala Kids, Kelly here! Well, what a summer it's been! We’ve reached the fifth and final week of Koko’s Summer Camp, which means we have one last group of very special winners to reveal. And I for one can't wait!

But before we do our grand announcement, I want to say a HUGE well done to every single camper who has joined us this summer! Whether you ticked off every challenge right from Week One, or jumped in for a few activities along the way - we've absolutely loved seeing all of your creations and it's totally brightened up our summer!

For Week Five’s challenge, we handed the microphone over to YOU and got you campers to create your very own mini podcasts! I have to say, it was so fun hearing your voices bringing your characters and adventures to life!

Of course, you weren’t going to make judging easy for us in the final week, were you?! After lots of listening, discussing… and listening all over again, we finally managed to choose our final Summer Camp 2026 winners!

So, a round of applause for our Week 5 winners…

Margaret Kominitsky, Grace Williamson in the Shetland Islands, Leannah in Indiana and Emily in Gloucestershire.

And this time, instead of me telling you about the winning entries, you’re going to get to hear them for yourselves! That's right, each of our winners are about to take over the Koala Shine microphone, and hear their very own voice live on the podcast! So stick around until the end to hear!

Remember, if you want to look back at some of the amazing creations from this summer, you can catch up with all of our Summer Camp 2026 winners over on our socials. Grab a grown-up and head to Instagram – our handle is @koalakids.fm.

Now, the competitions might be closed, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! If you fancy having a go at the activities in your own time, you can still get your hands on every single Camp Pack by joining Koala Shine+ and signing up for Koko’s Summer Camp.

You can send your completed challenges to [email protected] right up until September.

So, from me, Koko, and everyone here at Koala Kids, a huge well done, campers. Thank you for spending your summer creating with us - and congratulations on completing Koko’s Summer Camp 2026! 🐨 🏕️

Today, we're heading to sunny Harmony Cove, where Bleep Bloop's family sets off on their very first beach vacation.

But after one very hungry little alien mistakes an inflatable floatie for a tasty snack, their relaxing day by the sea quickly turns into the silliest seaside adventure ever! 🏖️👽
