What are educational camps for children?

Educational camps are programmes that put learning together with time off and time with other children.

Children come across new ideas through games, experiments, projects and hands-on work.

Unlike ordinary lessons, these camps are built on experience, working together and making things.

The aim is to build skills in a relaxed, interactive setting.
