Mad Science holiday camps are full of hands-on, science exploration. Every day is focused on a different topic and children are challenged to solve problems, investigate and learn about the topic of the day. This happens through a combination of structured active games, interactive experiments and take- home projects which the children will make, build and do to share with their families to keep the learning going. Our camps help children gain the confidence needed to investigate their world, build problem solving skills and encourage logical thinking. We reinforce resourcefulness, sustainability, Earth awareness and a love for science and exploration.
