Time and again, our editors will help you hit the ground running: online or in-person, from arts, sports, acting, singing and dancing to STEAM and designing cities with Lego, there is so much to discover. The much-anticipated list of approved summer holiday camps is not particularly long this year, yet it does include some genuinely fabulous children’s holiday programmes.

Ivy Camps USA
We can’t think of a more fascinating camp than Ivy Camps USA for those interested in business, STEAM, arts, media and communications to flourish in a rapidly changing global marketplace. You may have preconceptions about what an online holiday camp is like – but Ivy Camps USA is an organisation like no other. The compound of original hands-on projects, role-play activities, innovative teaching and an English immersive environment is meshed together by students' willingness and ability to learn. The Ivy’s reputation is hardly a secret. This success is helmed by their instructors who are talented undergraduates from the American Ivy League universities namely Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth College.
Opting for Business Leadership, expect two programmes relevant to everyday business activity and leadership training: Build Your Own Business + Design Your Brand: Marketing and Advertising; and Take Charge! Leading as a CEO + Become a Stock Market Expert. A unique curriculum fosters the spirit of entrepreneurship and helps children develop a deeper understanding of business realities.
There are two virtual programmes taking place throughout the STEAM summer course: Physics Building Adventures + Science of Motion and Machines; and Engineer a Better World with the Stanford Design Cycle + Design Cities with Lego.

At the Act One Theatre Camp, they are fortunate to have a number of highly successful American improvisers and incredible acting instructors, dance coaches, singing, and on-camera teachers who have been consistently working in children's theatres and can share their insights with your kids. During the summer camps, they will teach the children aged 6 to 15 in workshops and group tutorials through the use of a virtual learning environment. Known for its excellent learning support, collaborative, practical approach, and dynamic experimentation, this is a summer camp that nurtures the whole spectrum of ability: the participants are challenged and stretched. The creative juices are certainly flowing here – being deeply immersed into the exciting world of theatre, music videos and filmmaking, the campers spend each day acting, singing and dancing alongside studying many other practical and theoretical aspects of performance. The originally written movies and music videos for their world premiere Final Performance are a true highlight. Every group creates their own movie and is responsible for every element of the final production which can be viewed live online by all the relatives and friends around the world.
