  'KIDS ONLY' DAY CAMP: DESIGNED FOR ADVENTUROUS 5-12 YEAR OLDS WITH ENERGY TO BURN.

GET 'UNPLUGGED' FROM ELECTRONICS AND RECONNECT WITH NATURE! 


Things are about to get wonderfully weird at Woodhouse! Experiment, investigate and make a little mess as we fizz, fly, pop and puzzle our way through a day of hands-on science where the fun is all in finding out what happens next.

Program highlights (but not limited to!):

  • Become a mad scientist for the day with hands-on experiments including secret invisible ink, mysterious Mighty Beans and colourful mini volcanoes

  • Make things fizz, fly and POP as you experiment with helicopters, bubbles, rockets and spectacular science reactions

  • Discover some seriously weird science through mind-bending experiments, curious challenges and plenty of opportunities to test, tweak and try again

  • Gather around the campfire to observe science in action, exploring how heat changes matter as you toast a marshmallow to gooey perfection 

  • Finish your day with a little gravity-powered science as you whizz down the fast and furious Tube Slides (subject to weather)

...all this and more on our 54-hectare natural wonderland! You bring the energy and we’ll pack in the fun - big adventures, even bigger smiles - and a guaranteed good night’s sleep!  

Rain, hail, or shine, the fun never stops! We’ve got contingency plans ready to go, so no matter the weather, the kids will have a blast.

Just $80 per day, Scout Members save 20%!

AGE SUITABILITY & GROUPINGS:

The UNPLUGGED program is designed for primary school kids, from Reception through to Year Six (generally 5-12 years old).

We ask that Receptions complete at least a term of school before heading to a Woodhouse day camp. They will be used to the school routine on which UNPLUGGED is based, meaning they will settle in better and get the most out of the program.

Children are generally split in age groups 5-7 and 8-12 to ensure the activities match abilities and everyone has a great time with an appropriate level of challenge. This can vary depending on the split of ages in the group.

All ages come together for lunch, morning/afternoon tea breaks and then at Tube Slide / Challenge Hill at the end of the day.
