for supremacy.
The camp leader, Dr Droid, was
fantastic. He had the knowledge and
patience to keep all the children engaged
for a full week. The best part was picking
them up each day and seeing their
enthusiasm for what they had created;
it was a very rewarding experience. The
boys also had a fantastic time learning
about movie-making, which was part of
the camp’s programme.
We would definitely consider sending
themtoWhizzKidz camps againnext year!

We chose the Whizz Kidz’s Dr Droid
(Technology and Robotics) camp, a
five-day programme held at UWC Dover
Campus. As our boys are very interested
in science and computing and we are
keen to encourage them to grow in
these areas, we decided to sign them
up. It was a fun way for them to develop
their logical, lateral thinking and creative
skills. They also learned how to work in
teams, collaborating with others and
sharing their ideas.
The camp combines a range of
design, engineering and programming
skills into a fun and creative week of
activities. The kids get to design their
own robots or droids using 3D software,
and then print their creation using a 3D
printer. They build robots using Lego
NXT Mindstorms and then program
them for the grand finale: a gladiator-

We chose JSSL Singapore Soccer School camps for our 13-year-old
son as I’d heard that they promote a great balance between learning
the sport properly and having fun with it. The camps were held at
Victoria Junior College and United World College.
We were very happy with the well-trained staff and highly qualified
coaches who were excellent with the children. The JSSL School
went the extra mile to ensure that the kids had plenty of competitive
games to participate in. Apart frommatches within the soccer school,
games were also arranged with other schools and camps; it was a
good learning opportunity for all.
My son particularly enjoyed the “mini world cups”, as he loves
competition. Besides competitive games, there was also a great deal
of ball-work involved; the campers had to control and pass the ball
from different formations at a varied pace. Everyone got to try out
different positions to get a good perspective on everything. Toby also
got to practise free kicks, penalties and taking corners. All of these
were executed in a positive, encouraging and fun way.
The JSSL soccer school is a fantastic set-up with excellent facilities
that make the kids’ learning and practice enjoyable. Coupled with the
high-quality coaches who have a great passion in maximising your
child’s potential, this soccer school is the place for kids interested
in the sport. The camps are first class.
