Camps

Residential and non-residential camps offer immersive experiences with like-minded peers and opportunities to explore diverse activities not found in classrooms. 

Students can participate in workshops delivered by specialist educators to engage and encourage students’ creative self-expression, often culminating in a final performance for teachers, friends, and families on the final evening of the camp.

They are fun, challenging and action-packed!
