Have you been out of this world: perhaps to a Minecraft world, Hogwarts, Narnia or another planet? Did you spend time with Doctor Who, Darth Vader or on a Deltora Quest. Have you travelled to the past or the future? Have you been in a parallel universe? What is it that makes them so intriguing?
No matter which Fandom you belong to, which world or kingdom you enjoy this camp will give you a chance to meet others like you, who love these other worlds, know the characters, enjoy the quests, understand the challenges and levels. Come along and join in activities which require your imagination, your creativity, your scientific problem solving abilities and love of other worlds.

For over 20 years I have been running these camps in NSW, ACT Victoria and Perth.
The strength of the camps has always been the children themselves. Giving gifted children the opportunity to spend time with likeminded peers engaged in interesting or challenging activities and social experiences is vital for their wellbeing.
The following feedback has been received from families who have attended in the past:
Great for the children BUT excellent for the parents (sharing experiences)
The way the camp was run certainly helped my daughter feel comfortable in a new situation, something that can be a challenge for her. She didn't feel forced into any of the activities, which I believe made her more comfortable in participating, and although she was fairly quiet during workshops, the barrage of information since returning home has shown me that she certainly absorbed everything going on around her. The children were very respectful of each other - which is fabulous for a child whose usual interactions with other peers have often been difficult. The camp more than met my expectations.
Our son is very social, but he does often see himself as quite different and doesn't always embrace that difference. As one of four, it is great for him to independently go and explore his interests with likeminded children and to make new connections.
