For Harry Potter fans, kids get to learn about astronomy and participate in magic ice experiments. Whichever program you pick, your kids are sure to have loads of fun while learning at the same time!

The SuperXplore! Holiday camp organised by SuperPark encourages your little ones to experience a range of activities in various environments. With a total of nine activities, kids get to create colourful and handy accessories from Paracord Making to gaining points when they hunt for SuperPark mascots in SuperHunt. In the Lego Robotics activity, kids get to build Sumo warriors with Roblox. They will also get to design and build their own Rube Goldberg machines – these machines are designed to perform tasks in a fun way. Kids get to learn about critical thinking, trial-and-error, problem-solving all through the activities and curriculums in this camp.

Let your child’s creative juices flow at these two awesome camps hosted by The Drawing Mint. The Design and Architecture Camp gives kids a chance to explore hands-on design topics like perspective sketching and skyscraper city design. In furniture design, they also get to build a real shelf! Kids get to learn techniques such as sketching, designer markers and how to bring their ideas to life. In the Art camp, kids get to play with acrylic, watercolours, ink as they plan their art theme and subjects. There are dedicated instructors to guide them closely while they paint.

Conducted by experienced instructors, the holiday camps in Get Gungho are holistically designed by former IB International School Leaders that aim to educate and entertain your children through sports, arts, STEM activities and excursions. Get your children engaged in multiple activities such as archery, tie-dye, outdoor orienteering, Mad Science, Nerf battle fun and graffiti art. These activities aim to promote diversity, development and learning engagement among kids. 

Get your kids to move, swing and flip at Mindful Space. This space offers kids and families to practice mindfulness through aerial, yoga and fun all combined together. This teaches resilience, body awareness and a growth mindset. When kids are up in the air with a hammock, they develop hand-eye-foot coordination, and their central nervous system generally calms down, allowing them to focus. On the mat, they get to do activities that incorporate self-control and balance. 

Go on a culinary adventure where kids get to have loads of fun in these holiday baking camps by Ray Educators.

It’s truly a fun-filled adventure at Spring Baking Wonderland.

Advance classes test your child's competency in the methods, and they'll be able to make four projects in this course. You'll also be able to work on ceramic pieces with your child in the parent and child bonding workshops where both of you will create, decorate and glaze a cup and saucer.

What better way to support your child’s education than with a holiday camp chock-full of good creative fun? Worklab offers a variety of camps but of the many, two of the most popular ones are MyCamp and Robocamp. The technology-themed MyCamp gives kids aged six to 12 the opportunity to create their own camp experience. It begins by selecting three to six out of 11 projects: young ones can build and programme a 3D model of a real life smart house, design their own video game or stage a runway show for their fashion label. Alternatively, Robocamp junior (for six to eight years old) and senior (for nine to 12 years old) focuses on robotics with hands-on activities such as learning scientific concepts through building a LEGO robot. Sounds too easy? Kids'll also have to use robot mechanics to form solutions to challenges in the Robobattle. Children's Worklab also offers weekly weekend classes in engineering, robotics and animation. For the engineering and robotics courses, kids will learn and apply key concepts through the use of LEGO sets to construct a variety of mechanisms.

Here’s one for the junior space cadets who aspire to launch a rocket, walk on the moon or discover extra-terrestrial life.

It’s not all talk and no play, either: hands-on activities include building of water rockets, mini satellites, navigating rovers and unmanned aerial vehicles, and completing an Arctic mission in Snow City.

Local theatre company ACT 3’s Drama Academy has rolled out a series of activities for children aged between seven months to teenagers, where they can pick up skills such as how to collaborate creatively with peers, boost their confidence and improve their vocal and dance techniques.
