Holiday camps

We provide all of the experiments, equipment and safety goggles. Your mini-scientist may bring home some of their creations, as well as ideas on ‘kitchen science’ to do at home.

Each camp is £37 for the day. We offer a sibling discount: each additional child booked has a 10% discount. All children need to be booked at the same time for the discount to applied automatically, if you need to add another child later, please get in touch and we can add the discount for you.

A packed lunch, snacks and a water bottle, please make sure this is in a named bag and do not include any foods containing nuts.

Please remember that science can get messy so please wear clothes that you don’t mind being ‘experimented’ in! We often do experiments outside and always try to get outside at break times, so don’t forget coats/hats/sun cream…whatever you think the British weather might throw at us!

We can’t take responsibility for any items that are brought to camps so please leave electronics and precious teddies at home.

Absolutely! All of our leaders have experience working with kids with a range of additional needs. It is really important that you let us know when booking though so that we can tailor the activities to your child. Please note that while we have high staff ratios and the children work in small groups, we cannot provide dedicated one-to-one support. If you have any questions about how we can work with your young scientist, please do get in touch.

All of our experiments are specifically chosen to be kid-safe. We use child-friendly materials and have safety goggles for volcanic ‘eruptions’ etc. While we do not use anything toxic, we do make sure that children know that they mustn’t eat anything in the ‘lab’. Our leaders are DBS checked and we have insurance for £5million (never used!). We always have first aid trained staff at camps.

All camps run 10am to 3pm. We have a break in the morning and for lunch. We operate staggered drop off and pick up to minimise queuing at the beginning and end of the day.

Unfortunately we can’t offer refunds for cancellations but you can switch the place to another child if you have a friend who would like to come. We just ask that we have a new online booking completed for the new attendee before the event (and obviously they are in the right age range!). Please get in touch as soon as possible to arrange this.
