May-June Half-Term Science Activity School Holiday Camp for Kids in North East London 2026

‘Epic Engineering!’ – New for 2026

Every day at this safe, fun, educational, week-long 4-day May-June Half-Term Science Activity School Holiday Camp, is a strange science expedition into the unknown and over the week your child will do 30+ safe STEM activities, exciting demonstrations, hands-on experiments, team games and fun quizzes – across Chemistry, Biology and Physics!
Every Day includes:
4* Indoor classroom-based fun, hands-on science sessions
3* Outdoor ‘Activity Playground Breaks’ – That’s why our camps are referred to as ‘Science Activity Camps’.
Please note: the programme content and order may be subject to minor change.

Day 1> The Clever Scientist Challenge!

The scientists are launched into group challenges such as making a water carrier, designing a beak which picks up food, creating the most intricate spider web and using pneumatics to invent a snapping dinosaur!
Powerful Paper Cup! – Imagine being marooned on a desert island – one of the first things you need to find is drinking water – but how will you get it back to camp? The children design a water carrier using just a sheet of paper!
Hungry, Hungry Birds! – Different birds have different beaks adapted to their food source. Can you design a bird beak to pick up grains of rice for your hungry chicks?
Wonder Web! – A spider web is a marvel of engineering – in groups we design an intricate web to catch some ‘flies’.
Dino Snapper! – Pnuematic power is explored and harnessed to create a snapping dinosaur.

Day 2> Cool Creative Thinking!

The creative thinkers compete with each other in engineering challenges to build the tallest tower, construct a strong bridge, build some balance scales, and explore the engineering abilities of our arachnid friends!
Tin Foil Tower of London! – Can your team build the tallest tower? Height isn’t the only criteria; your tower must be strong and earthquake proof too!
Wonder Web! – A spider web is a marvel of engineering – in groups we design an intricate web to catch some flies.
Bombastic Bridge Challenge! – Using just paper straws (and some knowledge of strong shapes) can your team build the strongest bridge?
Weigh It Up! – We practice our balancing skills and then build some balance scales and test them with different materials.

Day 3> Epic Engineering Fun!

Today is a messy fun day! In groups we make a dam from a limited amount of materials to keep a village safe down river, then children take part in a fun bubble session and make their own bubble wands, we then discover the science behind a frog’s sticky tongue and end the day with more sticky fun with our ever-popular slime making activity!
Brilliant Bubble Maker! – Who doesn’t love bubbles? We see small bubbles, touchabubbles and even square bubbles – but the group challenge is to make the largest bubble.
Dastardly Dam Challenge! – Using a limited amount of materials can you design a dam to hold back the river?
Cool Catching Flies! – Why do frogs have a sticky tongue? We design our own sticky frog tongues, play a super silly, sticky tongue game and on the way learn the fascinating history of velcro!
Super Sticky Slime! – The sticky fun doesn’t end as we explore Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, and then make slime!

Day 4> Super Designer!

The designers work together to build the strongest boat then construct a flying machine and see who can fly the furthest. Then we get hands on with making a puzzling magic wallet and finally test our scientific investigation skills when we carry out experiments to find the best bottle tossing secrets!
Unsinkable Strong Boat! – Can you float a boat? We use a minimum range of materials to construct the best floating boat.
Fantastic Flying Fun! – We investigate the Four Fantastic Forces of Flight and then design our own flying machines to see which team can fly the furthest.
Magic Wallet! – We learn the science of topology and bamboozle our brains with a magic money wallet trick.
Best Bottle Toss Challenge! – We take the playground fad of the year and design an experiment to discover the best bottle tossing techniques.

Remember –  Parents will also receive a TOP SECRET Handout that tells you:

1. What They DID?
2. What They LEARNT?
3. Other cool science you can EXPLORE AT HOME?
