Fabulous Fairytales Summer Camp Jpeg.jpg

✨ Fabulous Fairytales Camp
Runs all 5 weeks of the Zürich Summer Holidays (13th July - 14th August)

Step into a magical world of castles, forests, dragons, and spells in our Fabulous Fairytales Camp! Children will explore classic and modern fairytales through imaginative projects, creative techniques, and hands-on making.

✨ Projects are thoughtfully guided step-by-step, helping children create artwork they feel proud of, while still adding their own creative choices, colours, characters, and magical details. The fairytale theme is a starting point, and children are encouraged to develop their own ideas and take their creations in their own direction.

⚠️ Our holiday camps typically fill up each season, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred dates.

🌲 Monday – Wednesday: Enchanted Forest

The first three days take us deep into a world of forest paths, hidden cottages, and magical characters:

🏡 Woodland Cottage Diorama (inspired by Little Red Riding Hood and other forest tales)
Build a detailed woodland cottage scene with trees, flowers, mini mushrooms and storytelling elements. Will a wolf be hiding nearby… or will this become a peaceful fairy hideaway?
🧙‍♀️ Magical Character Portraits
Create bold, long-legged characters such as witches, wizards, fairies, or your own magical beings, complete with striped tights, flowing robes, and curious companions.
🍄 Clay Dwarves with Personality
Sculpt a unique character inspired by classic tales - sleepy, grumpy, mischievous, or entirely new!
🪨 Story Stones
Paint a collection of magical symbols, characters, and objects to use in storytelling games and imaginative play.
🧪 Fairytale Potion Bottles
Design and fill shimmering potions using colourful liquids, glitter, and tiny treasures, complete with imaginative labels.

🐉 Thursday – Friday: Magical Kingdoms

We end the week with bold creations from enchanted kingdoms:

🐉 Design Your Own Magical Creature Storage
Create a dragon, unicorn, or entirely new creature using sturdy A5 storage boxes and a host of fun recycled materials, papier-mâché, and vibrant splatter or bubble-printing techniques, adding horns, scales and personality.
🏰 Build Your Own Fairytale Castle
Construct a castle using mixed materials - will it be a glittering palace, a knight’s fortress, or a magical tower? Add windows, flags, winding paths, vines, and even a shimmering moat.
👕 Dragon or Unicorn T-Shirt Printing
Design and print a wearable artwork featuring your chosen creature using stencils, sponges, free painting elements and mandala dotting tools.

🎨 Materials & Techniques

Children will explore a wide range of materials including paints (acrylic, gouache), coloured and white earth-dry clay, papier-mâché, plaster mod-roc, card construction, fabric, foil, glitter, craft foam, coloured cards, sequins, gems, and mixed media. Each day combines guided projects with opportunities for personalisation and creative exploration.

📚 Story Time & Activities

Story sessions bring the theme to life, with a mix of classic tales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel, alongside modern favourites like The Worst Princess. Alongside art and storytelling, children will enjoy themed games, music, mini-films, and outdoor time.

🔁 Joining Multiple Weeks

Children are very welcome to join multiple weeks. While core projects repeat, each child is encouraged to develop new ideas, characters, and details - meaning every week results in completely unique creations and experiences.
