Our virtual summer camps in lets your child have fun from home, taking their familiarity with online learning and keeping them engaged – when not spending time outdoors of course!

You can choose to have your child attend our tech-focused virtual summer camps in either morning or afternoon sessions. That lets the kids then spend the remainder of the day on other activities.

Given that most kids have been learning from home over the last year at some points, they will be familiar with the concept of virtual meetings. Our online summer camps run in a similar way, and you can find out exactly how it all works here.
