For primary school aged children, summer camps are a way to expand their knowledge and deepen their understanding of the subjects that they love, as well as help them to think about what they might want to go on to study at secondary school. We’ve found three summer camp providers that offer expert teaching on STEM subjects, perfect for your little scientists, tech and engineering enthusiasts and maths whizz kids.
Tech Camp UK is back for 2026, and offers kids the opportunity to spend a week learning how to engineer, program, create tech, code and even race drones. Tech Camp’s courses are focused on a single specialism, so your children can really focus on practicing and refining their skills. You can also use childcare vouchers to pay for the cost of the camp.
A reviewer for Tech Camp said, ‘This was our son’s first residential camp where he didn’t know anyone ahead of time. He had a blast, learned new skills, and has kept in touch with a friend he met there. Couldn’t stop him talking about it the whole way home!’
Code Kids are also running events across the summer in 2026, including both online and in-person courses. Some of their holiday camps will focus on coding and programming popular kids games like Roblox and Minecraft, and there are some Lego Robotics summer camps available too. Code Kids are also offering some Mini Camps where kids can learn to use Python, AI coding and even learn how to make mobile apps.
A reviewer for Code Kids said, ‘My son has been to a few holiday camps now and has thoroughly enjoyed each one. The team are great and always make him feel welcome. He recently did the python summer camp at the Wimbledon centre and didn’t want it to end! Would recommend to anyone whose kids are into gaming/coding or looking to find out more about it.’
If your kid is a budding scientist, Mad Science Camps could be a great fit. These summer camps have been running for the last 10 years, and take place in a range of locations across the country. Expect to hear all about the hands-on science experiments, with indoor and outdoor activities. Children leave with a science project or something to take home with them each day.
A reviewer for Mad Science Camps said, ‘My daughter came home from camp super excited every day, telling us about all the cool experiments they have done (loads of different ones throughout the week!). She asked us to pick her up as late as possible so she can take full advantage (she was there from 8:30-4:50 every day!).’base
