Get ready to kick off the week with an exciting mix of hands-on activities and tasty treats! Monday’s schedule is packed with opportunities for kids to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and enjoy time with friends. We’ll start by baking cheese and onion pasties for lunch. Young chefs will learn to roll pastry, mix fillings, and create golden, flaky parcels. Kids will experiment with puffy paint on paper plates and then head outdoors to the local park for some group games and fresh air. It’s a chance to unwind, play, and enjoy time with friends in a lively and active setting. Back in the kitchen, it’s time to don those aprons again for an exciting science-inspired baking experiment! Kids will bake four types of cupcakes, testing different ingredients and flavour combinations to discover their favourites. The day wraps up with a sweet finale as we make Twix-inspired biscuits.

On Tuesday, the excitement continues with a day full of treats, laughter, and creativity. It’s a once-in-a-blue-moon adventure as our Discovery Club sets off at 9am for an unforgettable outing. We’re heading to London’s most colourful and delicious attraction—M&M World! Kids will marvel at the vibrant displays, explore the world of this iconic chocolate brand, and maybe even pick up some goodies to take home. After exploring M&M World, we’ll stop for a special lunch at McDonald’s, where everyone can enjoy their favourite meals and relax with friends. Next, we’ll head to Hyde Park, one of London’s most famous green spaces. It’s the perfect place for kids to burn off some energy with group games, enjoy the fresh air, and create lasting memories with their peers. We will return to Club by 5pm after a jam-packed day of fun.

Wednesday promises a perfect blend of culinary creativity and outdoor adventure, with activities designed to inspire, energise, and entertain. The day begins with a hands-on cooking session as we learn to make homemade croissants and mini sausage rolls. From rolling out dough to creating flaky, golden pastries, young chefs will master the art of these delicious classics, which we’ll enjoy for lunch. After our baking session, it’s time to head outdoors to the local park. After lunch, it’s back to the kitchen to bake cheese crackers. These savoury snacks are not only fun to make but also perfect for taking home to share with family — if they last that long! The afternoon wraps up with more energetic fun in the playground, featuring a mix of team sports and group games. With freshly baked pastries, a pocketful of cheese crackers, and plenty of outdoor excitement, Wednesday will leave everyone smiling, energized, and ready for more!

Thursday brings even more excitement to the Great Wise Owls Bake-Off as we dive into a day filled with delicious creations, creative crafts, and outdoor fun. The morning starts with baking mini cheesecakes—a sweet treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat! These will be saved for pudding later in the day, giving young bakers something to look forward to. Next up, we’ll prepare pizza bread for lunch. Kids will enjoy customizing their creations with toppings of their choice, making these savoury bakes uniquely their own. We’ll venture out to Oaken Grove Park for a refreshing change of scenery. With a packed picnic in hand, kids can relax, chat, and enjoy their meal surrounded by nature. Afterward, there’s time to explore the park and play with friends. Back at camp, we’ll channel our creativity into making crazy colourful art using baking soda. This vibrant and hands-on craft lets kids experiment with colours and textures, sparking their imagination. The day wraps up with energetic fun in the playground, including group activities and games like football, ensuring everyone stays active and engaged.

We’re wrapping up the week with a fantastic Friday full of culinary experiments, exciting outings, and engaging activities. The morning kicks off with a unique twist on lunch as we create sushi-style sandwiches! Using wraps and creative fillings, kids will roll up their sandwiches in a fun and artistic way. Then, it’s on to crafting salt dough cinnamon rolls—a delightful activity where kids shape, bake, and decorate their dough creations. We’ll walk to the local cinema to enjoy the latest children’s film. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and be entertained with friends after a busy morning. Back at camp, we’ll dive into some scientific fun with a fizzing strawberry ice cube experiment. Combining creativity and curiosity, kids will explore chemical reactions while marvelling at the fizzy, fruity effects!
