Junior Scientist
Learning Science can be a messy business!
No worries, no fuss. We make sure to bring experiments alive with lots of hands-on activities. Make your Newtonian fluid dance to music, test the limits of pressure in your two-stage rocket balloon, or extract DNA from your squishy fruit. Every day we will explore different scientific concepts, and apply our knowledge to explore the secrets of the natural world!
Get ready for some serious fun in our kid-proof laboratory!
We look at various scientific concepts like pressure, aerodynamics, exothermic reactions, sound waves, electrostatics, magnetism, and fluid mechanics from a critical perspective. We ask why are things the way they are, and use the Scientific Method to get at natural truths. Get your lab coat on, put on a pair of safety goggles, open your Scientist Notebook and get ready to experiment.
"Samantha especially enjoyed doing all those experiments and learnt so much during her science camp – it is now her new favorite subject!"
Yoni has 20 years of software engineering experience in the financial services industry working in New York, London and Singapore. Yoni's history in Physical Computing education began when he founded the Robotics Club at Tufts University in 1995. He is an engaging, fun-loving instructor and has inspired students to win awards in national competitions such as Innovation, Design and Engineering (IDE) and Robocup.

We have a full-time nurse on site for every camp week operating from the schools’ health centres. Our nurses are there to administer medication, first aid and support with all COVID-19 reporting, as needed. The nurse is available Monday morning to collect any medications and speak to parents before camp starts. Our Camp Asia team are all first-aid trained.
Healthy Lunch and snacks (cooked fresh daily) are included in the cost of your camp. If your child is a vegetarian, does not or cannot eat beef, pork, seafood, dairy or eggs or has other dietary needs, simply tell us beforehand in your child’s details online. Please also note that Camp Asia has a nut-minimisation policy.
We offer a highly convenient, safe, secure and sociable bus service to and from camp, calling at a stop near your home. In line with COVID-19 regulations, buses will be cleaned before and after every journey.
