This September, let your child’s imagination and creativity shine with our exciting week-long holiday program!

This program is hosted by the wonderful Alexandra McKubre – educator, storyteller, lifelong gamer, and creativity enthusiast – alongside Dean Holden - game designer, enthusiast, and founder of Meepleopolis.

Act & Adventure (Mon–Wed, 22–24 Sept)
Step into a world of storytelling, role-play, and adventure! In this all-new edition of our popular program, kids aged 10–14 will create characters, build worlds, and collaborate on epic adventures. Blending drama, improvisation, and live-action storytelling, Act & Adventure is designed to boost creativity, empathy, confidence, and teamwork.

Game Jam (Thu–Fri, 25–26 Sept)
Calling young game designers! In our two-day Game Jam, kids will design and build their own original tabletop game to take home.

This is a hands-on crafting program that develops collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity, plus they’ll leave with a game of their own making!

Ages: 10–14 years
