Every school holiday

Easter, half term, summer and Christmas camps in Woking

Camps are booked by the day, so you only pay for the days you actually need. Dates change every year — the camps page always shows exactly what is open for booking right now.

Easter holiday camps in Woking

The Easter break is the first long stretch of the year where parents in Woking need cover, and it is the camp parents ask us about most. When Easter dates open at Hoe Valley School they go straight onto the camps page — book the individual days you need rather than the whole fortnight.

May half term camps

May half term is short, so it suits children who want to try one subject properly — a week of robotics, or a first go at coding — without committing to a longer holiday course. Any May dates we run appear on the camps page alongside the ages each course is designed for.

Summer holiday camps in Woking

The summer holidays are six weeks long, and a Woking summer camp week gives children something to build, break and rebuild in the middle of it. Because every course is booked by the day, you can slot camp around holidays away, grandparents and work patterns instead of the other way round.

October half term camps in Woking

October half term camp is indoor territory — laptops, LEGO robotics kits and electronics rather than a field. It is a popular week for parents looking for a half term camp in Woking that keeps children busy and off the sofa when the weather turns.

Christmas holiday camps

The Christmas holidays are the trickiest weeks of the year to cover, sitting either side of the bank holidays. Whenever we open Christmas camp dates in Woking they are listed on the camps page with the courses running that week.

What children build

Six STEM subjects, all equipment provided

Each camp day is a project children take from an idea to something that runs, moves or plays. Which subjects run in a given week depends on the camp — the course list for each one is on the booking page.

Robotics

Build and program a working robot, including LEGO robotics kits.

Coding

From block-based coding to text languages, at the child’s own pace.

Game Design

Design and build playable games, including Minecraft education.

Science

Hands-on experiments and the thinking behind them.

Electronics

Circuits, components and devices children wire up themselves.

Discovery

Wide-ranging STEM projects for children still finding their subject.

How a day at camp works

Doors open at 9:20am and we ask that children arrive by 9:30am so the day can start together. Camp finishes at 3:30pm for children aged 5 and over, and 4:30pm for children aged 7 and over. At registration we take the name of anyone else who may be collecting your child that day.

Children bring their own packed lunch — our camps are nut-free — and we provide water and fruit through the day. Laptops, robotics kits and every other piece of equipment are supplied.

Instructors are DBS-checked, STEM-qualified and trained in the AweSTEM curriculum and our safeguarding policies. AweSTEM is Ofsted registered, which is also what makes childcare vouchers usable against a booking.

Woking camp FAQs

Questions Woking parents ask us

Which school holidays do you run camps in Woking?

We run STEM holiday camps at Hoe Valley School across the school holidays — Easter, May half term, the summer holidays, October half term and Christmas. Dates vary from year to year, so the live list of camps open for booking is always on the holiday camps page.

What time is drop-off and pick-up?

Doors open at 9:20am and we ask that children arrive no later than 9:30am. Camp finishes at 3:30pm for children aged 5 and over, and 4:30pm for children aged 7 and over.

What should my child bring to camp?

A packed lunch and a named, refillable water bottle. We provide water and fruit during the day, and all laptops, robotics kits and equipment are supplied — nothing to buy or bring. There is more detail on lunches, sunscreen and collection arrangements on our parents info page.

Is the camp nut-free?

Yes. Our camps are nut-free, so packed lunches and snacks brought from home must not contain nuts. Please tell us about allergies and medical needs when you book so the instructors have them on the day.

Can I pay with childcare vouchers?

Yes. AweSTEM is Ofsted registered and accepts childcare vouchers from Sodexho, Computershare, Care4, Edenred and HMRC. Choose the childcare voucher option at the payment step when you book and we will send you the provider details you need.

Where exactly is the camp, and how do I get there?

Camps are held at Hoe Valley School, Egley Road, Woking, GU22 0NH. Arrangements for parking and the drop-off point can differ from camp to camp, so rather than publish something that might be out of date we would rather tell you exactly where to pull in — email info@awestem.co.uk or call +44 7879 677498.

More answers on lunches, safety policies, payment and cancellations are on the parents info page.
