9:30 Early Drop Off

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

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 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.

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 STEAM Activity! Part One

In the afternoon, campers will be given an environmentally themed STEAM (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 projects.

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 STEAM Activity! Part Two.

In this part of the day, kids will finish off their super power themed STEAM 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. However, if students would like to bring their own laptop that’s 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 nut-free healthy lunch for your child.

Cypher provides 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.

Children of different ages will be in the same classroom, however, the will be given age-appropriate activities and grouped with others their own age during challenges.

That being said, if you have siblings attending, or friends, please make a note at booking if they would like to be grouped together and we will facilitate this!

Children at a Cypher camp will use a variety of different technology and platforms during camps. Often, children will use either Scratch, p5.js or CoSpaces to complete a stand-alone coding project. Usually, this will be a game or animation that is related to our theme.

Their STEAM projects vary a little more from day to day, but during a week at camp children will often build and program one of our robots (Wunderkinds, Lego robots), program and use a Micro:bit, create an electronics project, and use their creativity in a more craft, or art focused activity (e.g. designing and making a board game).

Before camps it is best to email Cypher at hi@cyphercoders.com, and someone will get back to you during normal working hours.

The ‘average’ cypher teacher has completed a degree in a STEM field, often Computer Science, and has experience working with children, either through extra curricular sessions or in a school setting.
