Our Half-Term Camp offers a one-of-a-kind experience where children will immerse themselves in the art of stop-motion animation and sustainability-focused crafts. Over five days, they will explore creative storytelling using recycled materials while also engaging in eco-friendly activities that teach them about the environment.
Each morning, campers will learn the fundamentals of stop-motion animation, developing their storytelling, patience, and problem-solving skills while crafting short films using cutout paper, clay, and natural materials. In the afternoons, they will engage in nature-based crafts, creating hands-on projects that encourage sustainability and environmental awareness.
The camp is designed to be both educational and fun, helping children develop their creative confidence while learning how small changes can have a big impact on the planet. By the end of the week, they will not only have created their own animated stories but also learned valuable lessons on repurposing materials, reducing waste, and supporting biodiversity.
This camp is perfect for children who love art, storytelling, and nature – or those who simply enjoy making things with their hands in a fun, collaborative environment!

“Attended with a 4-year-old My daughter absolutely loves CWK’s. It feels much more intimate than the other bigger camps she attends and all the kids seem so happy. They get to paint on real easels with neon paints plus decorate cookies or other themed fun stuff. She now has her hand made halloween cape ready to rock. Do try it. She tells me it’s her favourite and this is a child who attends Perform, Camp Beaumont and more.”
