All kids will be divided into age-based groups to make sure that the activities and challenges are interesting and fun to them.

Creative Writing Workshop
Fear not, this workshop has nothing in common with another session of homework writing. Here, children learn how to put their imagination into words - how to use metaphors, similes, dialogue, poetry, descriptive techniques, and genre writing, to list but a few. Here, kids aged 6-13 work in small groups (maximum of 8 students) to find out how to translate thoughts into words in the most precise and elegant way.
At the end of the week, each child will build up their portfolio of work to share with parents. Please note these courses are designed for children with native or a high level of fluency in English, and are not designed as an English as a Second Language programme.
Musical Theatre
This workshop is a go-to place for all who are interested in singing, dancing, and acting. The workshop is suitable for kids aged 8-12 (with groups divided according to age)
During the workshop, kids will explore their voices and vocal range, and learn and act out the script, songs and choreography. And, at the end of the week, kids will perform a show for their families and friends.

Week 2 is dedicated to the Holiday Dance Rhythms where they learn to dance to the Christmas melodies, craft festive props and get ready for the grand performance!
The camp's curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage young minds in a spectrum of educational and recreational activities. From language immersion sessions to interactive arts and crafts, the program is tailored to meet the developmental needs of the school's diverse student body, ensuring an enriching and enjoyable experience for all.
Utilizing a play-based approach, educators captivate the children's imaginations with stories, songs, and games, creating an immersive environment where language acquisition becomes a joyful exploration.
