Choosing a suitable enrichment programme to keep your child occupied during the school holidays may be as difficult as choosing which confectionary to buy from the bakery. They all look good and you wish you could have them all.
However, if you could only pick just one holiday camp for the 2017 mid-year break, the fun-filled June Holiday Enrichment Camp at The Grandstand can be an excellent choice. Here’s why we think so.
<h4>#1 An 8-in-1 enrichment programme for mind &amp; body</h4>
Held at The Grandstand, the largest family lifestyle destination in Bukit Timah, this holiday enrichment camp will see different tenants of the mall coming together to offer a unique four-day programme targeted at children aged 7 to 12.
From craft work to language immersion, programming to sports and exercise, there will never be a dull moment during the camp. Running from 12 June to 15 June 2017 (9:30am to 5:00pm daily), the camp will give children a first-hand taste of a wide spectrum of activities – a refreshing change from most other holiday camps which usually focus on just one subject or activity.
The following 8 children enrichment centres will conduct short workshops and classes during the camp.

<h4>#2 Don’t worry, eat happy</h4>
In order to fuel up their energy for the full line-up of activities, this holiday camp doesn’t forget to satisfy participants’ appetites too. A delectable selection of lunch options catered daily from F&amp;B tenants at The Grandstand will pique the appetites of even the pickiest little eaters. The menu for the four days includes Japanese fare from Restaurant Hoshigaoka, local delights from Canteen, treats from the Fidgets World Café and pasta and other delights from Carnivore.
<h4>#3 Overall a good deal, dollars-wise</h4>
Following a random check around the market, we found out that a certain learning centre, well known for its mind-mapping methods is charging $600 for a 2-day holiday camp; 5 sessions of coding classes at another centre’s summer camp programme will cost $570. So assuming that you sign your child up for both these camps, you will be paying over $1,000 in course fees – and don’t forget that it’ll only be for two specific subjects.
On the other hand, The Grandstand’s holiday camp costs $499 and covers eight interesting activities in one camp, with lunch provided. The participants get the opportunity to learn a variety of skills and make new friends at the same time. Parents needn’t worry about having to ferry your children to different locations for their enrichment classes – plus parking is always free at the sprawling The Grandstand car park! Sounds good? You do the math!

STAGE Camp by SRT is a brand new holiday Camp for young people of all ages to explore their creativity, learn performance skills and to step into the spotlight.
Our young performers are encouraged to play, create and present their own stories during their time in Camp; delving into the magic of theatre to bring stories to life. Theatre takes audiences on adventures, where reality meets the mythical, comedy collides with romance and characters are created in front of our eyes. Stage Camp by SRT harnesses this theatre magic in an action packed and fun filled holiday programme, as our campers learn and enhance their performance skills in a safe and nurturing environment.
