When is TISA's Summer Camp?

The Summer Camp runs across six themed weeks from mid-July to late August, full days with three meals included — see the summer camp page for this season's exact dates.

What ages can join Summer Camp?

The camp is split into three age groups: 5–6 years, 7–8 years, and 9–12 years, each with sessions designed for their developmental stage.

What do kids do at Summer Camp?

Each themed week focuses on a hands-on project — coding and robotics, 3D modelling, animation, graphic design, Dutch-master art or an archaeological expedition — ending with a project show. There's also an optional two-day forest survival trip.

Are there discounts for Summer Camp?

Sibling and multi-week discounts may be available — see the summer camp page for this season's current pricing.

Is there an optional add-on to the camp?

Yes — the optional 'Hiking in the Forest' trip is a two-day, one-night wilderness adventure with an overnight tent stay, three meals a day, and survival and bushcraft skills like fire-making, navigation and shelter-building.
