Part of our World of Wonders (WOW) school holiday series, this hands-on 2-day camp invites children to explore global cultures through food, stories, and play — no passport required.

In the Thailand Floating Market Lab, children will explore the colourful world of Thai floating markets through street food, games, crafts and roleplay experiences. Together, they’ll prepare popular Thai dishes, learn traditional childhood games and work as a team to create their own floating market stalls.

🧺 What to bring

Day 1: Please pack a snack and fruit box and a labelled drink bottle for your child. Lunch is prepared as part of the program.
