Every parent knows the moment. The school bags land by the front door, the alarm clocks fall silent and, only forty-five minutes into the holiday, a small voice somewhere in the house announces: “I’m bored.” This mid-term break, Lemonade Play & Discovery Centre has the answer, and it doesn’t come with a charging cable. Introducing the Half Term Explorer Camp.
Running from Monday 12 to Friday 16 October across all three Lemonade branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the camp is designed for families who want the week off school to feel like an adventure rather than a countdown. Think paint-splattered aprons, towers built to the ceiling, kitchen creations and mysteries to solve, all most importantly screen-free.
Scientists, Chefs and Detectives Wanted: Inside the Explorer Camp
Here’s the funny thing about siblings: they rarely want to do the same thing. One is already in a lab coat, another is busy cooking up something in the kitchen, and a third would rather build or paint. That’s exactly why the camp is built around different interests, ages and personalities, so every child gets to find their thing.
Each session is a mix of hands-on missions. Mini Scientists test their wildest theories, Little Creators get making, Little Chefs whip up something delicious, Little Movers burn off the holiday energy and Little Detectives follow the clues, with plenty of time to build and paint and discover along the way. A meal is included too, so that’s one less lunchbox to pack. The only question left is which mission will become their favourite.
Camp runs Monday to Friday, with a morning session from 10am to 2pm or an afternoon session from 3pm to 7pm for families who like a slow start. Children aged 4 and above can be dropped off, while 3-year-olds are warmly welcome with a guardian.
Prices are AED 185 per session or AED 777 for the full week, and siblings enjoy 10% off the session rate. Seats are limited, so early booking is a good idea.
