Next Thing Education Camps
SEN Tech&STEM Easter Camp - Camp Primary 322 Camp Rd, St Albans AL1 5PE
Our Easter camps combine cutting-edge tech learning with brand-new WOW experiences for 2026 — designed for children of all skill levels. Whether they’re brand new to STEM or already tech-obsessed, every child can jump straight in and start building, coding, experimenting and creating. Through playful challenges and hands-on projects, they explore engineering, circuitry, gamified learning, coding and more — developing real skills while having genuine fun.
As one of the UK’s specialist technology camp providers, our instructors create engaging, interactive sessions that introduce core computer science concepts while encouraging creativity and confidence.
New this Easter, we’re introducing exciting WOW activities to complement our tech sessions — bringing extra energy, creativity and movement into each camp day. Depending on the schedule, this may include inflatable obstacle courses, street dance sessions, animal encounters and more — with full details available on our website coming soon for each specific location and duration.
To keep everyone fuelled, we provide a hot nutritious lunch plus healthy snacks morning and afternoon — helping children stay energised, engaged and ready for their next challenge.

This booking is for children and young people with disabilities or additional needs (SEND). At Next Thing Education, we have a designated and SEND trained team in place who will support your child to have the best time with us at Tech Camp. We also have specific resources and activities to cater for certain needs. The session is targeted at children who require significant additional support to integrate & participate in holiday activities on a 1:3 staffing ratio.
We regret that we’re unable to take children who require 1:1 support at this time and we are also unable to support intimate care needs. Please ensure you state the needs on your child when booking and we will call you to discuss in more detail if needed so we can ensure we have everything in place to support your child. If your child does not have additional needs, please book via the other booking block at this site. If you include additional needs on your booking, we need to assess the needs and support available before this is accepted. Please complete the form below. We decide how best to include children at our camps on a case-by-case basis. Child safety is our top priority and we reserve the right to cancel a booking if a child's individual needs are beyond our remit. Please complete: https://nextthing.typeform.com/Easter
