Camp opens at 9.30 for early drop off, campers will be given a warm welcome from our Cypher teachers!

10:00 Camp Starts! + Coding project time! Part One

On the first day we will start with an ice breaker activity so that all Campers can get to know each other. This will be led by our Student Helpers who will be at Camp to make sure every student is engaging with the projects and having fun. On other days, Campers will work on smaller starter activities to introduce them to the content they will be learning about during the rest of the day.
Campers will start work on their coding projects, these are always focussed on cool topics and themes. In this first half, they’ll be introduced to the Winter Wonderland theme by their camp teachers and they’ll learn many cool and interesting facts about it.

11:00 Break

Morning break time with a chance to stretch their legs and have a short run around the playground. We also provide Campers with a small snack to help bring their energy back up for the rest of the morning.

11:15 Coding project time! Part Two

Now it’s back into the classroom to finish off their morning coding projects. Campers will have the chance to work on additional challenges and extra steps if they manage to complete their projects a little early. Complete as many challenges as possible to get Camp achievement stickers.

12:15 Lunch

Campers start by having their lunch and chatting about what they’ve learnt that morning, and then have some free playtime to run around and make friends.

13:15 Hands-On STEM Activity! Part One

In the afternoon, campers will be given a music-tech themed STE(A)M (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) activity, this will vary from day-to-day and will have them working in small teams or independently to create a variety of cool projects; such as building a DJ deck, guitar, or programming a musical robot!

14:15 Break

Afternoon break time with a chance to stretch their legs and have a short run around the playground. We also provide Campers with a small snack to help bring their energy back up for the rest of the afternoon. We all know that it’s harder to concentrate in the afternoons sometimes, which is why it’s so important to keep including small break times for Campers to recharge their brain batteries.

14:30 Hands-On STEM Activity! Part Two.

In this part of the day, kids will finish off their music-tech project!

16:00 Home time

After an exciting day of learning and having fun, it’s time to rest and recharge ready for another day at Cypher Camps!
Students do NOT need to bring their own laptops. All computers, robots and teaching materials are provided by Cypher. If students would like to bring their own laptop, tablet or phone, that is completely fine. Please make sure and let us know at check-in that they have done so. We will take every care to ensure the safety of your child's device, however we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused at camp.
Cypher does NOT provide lunch at camps. We ask that you please pack a healthy lunch for your child. No nuts allowed! We do provide healthy snacks for both the morning and afternoon breaks as well as water throughout the day. If your child has any special dietary requirements or allergies, please provide details during booking or speak to a member of staff at check-in.
Yes. Once we know who is attending our holiday camps, we make sure students are kept within a suitable age group, for both educational and social purposes. If there is a wide variety of ages in the same classroom, children from our different age groups are given tasks appropriate to their age and ability within the lessons.
