Activate Camps provide children with a safe, fun and challenging environment through technical sessions, gameplay and teamwork. Participants earn team points throughout the week, showcasing BEST values—Bravery, Enthusiasm, Sportsmanship and Teamwork—culminating in the Activate Games tournament.

Let’s Cook offers junior chefs a hands on opportunity to learn essential cooking skills. Children explore flavours, prepare dishes from global cuisines and work in pairs or small groups, developing confidence and creativity in the kitchen.
