Imagine. Code. Create.
Welcome to Carlie Coding’s October Half Term Tech Camp 2025 — a holiday week where curiosity sparks imagination, creativity takes flight, and children learn by doing🚀
From 27–31 October, children will dive into hands-on tech projects and screen-free creative sessions. This October, our camp also carries a Halloween spirit 🎃 — from spooky game design and pumpkin-inspired robotics to enchanting crafts and magical storytelling. 🕷️🪄
More Than a Holiday Club — A Mindset
That’s why our half term camp is designed not just to teach, but to inspire.
Through coding, robotics, digital design and interactive Halloween-themed projects, children develop problem-solving, collaboration and independent thinking — skills that last long beyond the holiday.
For Juniors and Seniors — Tailored by Age
Seniors (ages 8–11) take on exciting challenges, exploring Coding from Scratch to Python, Robotics, VR world design and experiences, Web Design, drone flying and 3D modelling. Seasonal twists include creepy game design, haunted coding adventures 👻 and imaginative builds inspired by Halloween🕷
Every activity is adapted to their stage of development, so each child feels engaged, supported and confident to explore.
Tech Explorers — Mornings with Purpose
Mornings at camp are full of exploration, imagination and innovation.
Children bring code to life, experiment with robotics, explore AI in action, fly drones and even 3D print their own designs.
Special Halloween projects — like spooky game design and pumpkin-themed creations 🎃 — make mornings both exciting and memorable.
Creative Explorers — Afternoons in Motion
Afternoons are screen-free and filled with creativity, movement and discovery.
Children become Creative Explorers — drawing, building, crafting and playing together. From LEGO engineering and 3D pens to spooky crafts, monster-inspired art 🕸️, and magical storytelling 🧙♀️, afternoons invite children to imagine, create and connect.
This October, our enrichment clubs bring an extra layer of fun with Graffiti Art and Halloween Creative Crafts — the perfect chance for children to express themselves boldly and creatively.
A Camp You Can Trust
Our team of experienced, enhanced DBS-certified educators and assistants brings warmth, energy and professional care to every session.
We create a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment where every child feels seen, supported and confident to explore.
Tech Skills. Life Skills. Halloween Memories. 🎃👻
Whether your child is writing their first line of code, designing a spooky game, flying a drone or creating magical Halloween crafts, they’ll end each day excited, proud, and full of stories to share.
This isn’t just another camp.
Dates: 27 — 31 October

📝 Our Enrichment Clubs run Monday to Thursday, with a dedicated one-hour afternoon session for both Junior and Senior groups. On Fridays, children enjoy a relaxed afternoon with free play and a fun movie session.
Lunch Break: We enjoy our nut-free lunches, and if the weather allows, spend some time on the playground. Additionally, there are 15-minute breaks between each session, during which children can have their snacks or enjoy the fruits we provide.
Friday afternoons is party time! We’ll treat the children to a fun, age-appropriate animation, snacks, and a special closing celebration.
At our camps, children take their first steps into the world of digital literacy through age-appropriate coding programs. We use platforms developed by institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), such as Scratch and Scratch Jr., which provide children with a rich and expansive learning environment to help them develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
For older students, we sometimes integrate Minecraft and other coding programs into our curriculum. Through coding, children become familiar with key concepts like loops and conditionals while enhancing their design and spatial skills.
One of the most exciting experiences we offer is VR coding. Children design their own 3D worlds using VR-compatible software, then explore these worlds with VR headsets.
We also introduce children to AI through fun, hands-on projects. They explore the basics of artificial intelligence, learning about algorithms, machine learning, and data analysis, giving them a solid understanding of how AI impacts everyday life.
Our robotics sessions are tailored to various age groups. Younger children work with tools like Bee Bot and Botley to acquire coding and directional skills, while older groups engage with more advanced tools like Lego Robotics, mBot, and Micro:bit. This helps them improve their analytical and algorithmic thinking abilities.
In the afternoons, we shift to screen-free enrichment activities where children participate in arts, sports, or DIY activities like fencing, capoeira, drama, or crafts. Additional activities include 3D pen design and LEGO building time. We wrap up the week with a party on Friday, where children enjoy a movie and delicious snacks.
