Finding Your Wild,
Summer Play Camps 2026

Five wild-themed weeks of open-ended nature play at The Mud House. Each week trades the classroom for mud, water, forest, and freedom, built around one of five animals: the tortoise, the pangolin, the hornbill, the dugong, and the gibbon.

One summer, five wild weeks

The Mud House extends its child-led, multi-age philosophy beyond the school term with a dedicated summer holiday camp. Days replace structured desks with wide-open muddy play, stream exploration, natural construction, and child-directed discovery, for children aged 4 to 8.

Activities like the mud kitchen, clay work, art, and bamboo building show up across every week. What changes week to week is the wild theme woven through the play: grow, explore, create, swim, and climb.

Families can book a single week, any three weeks, or all five, and outside of summer, The Mud House also runs shorter seasonal and holiday sessions through the year, contact us directly for those dates.

Five Wild Weeks

Choose Your Week

Week 1

Play & Grow

The tortoise sets the pace for the summer: slow, grounded, and unhurried. Children dig into the earth, tend the garden beds, and get their hands properly muddy in the mud kitchen, with a field trip out to Ing Asai Farm.

Expect open-ended sensory play, water-flow experiments, and farm-to-table snacking straight from what's growing on site. As the tortoise says: "I grow a little every day."

Play and Grow, Tortoise Week schedule, 22nd to 26th June, field trip to Ing Asai Farm
Week 2

Play & Explore

The pangolin's week is built for curious hands: loose parts, stream mechanics, and bamboo hideouts to build and rebuild, with a field trip out to Choeng Doi Nature Reserve.

Storytelling and outdoor circle time round out the days, along with plenty of open-air ecology and seasonal exploration. As the pangolin says: "I look, I wonder, I find out."

Week 3

Play & Create

The hornbill's week leans into making: hand-building with native Chiang Mai clay, pinch pots, mud-tile stamping, and freeform art, with a field trip to MAPIN Art Studio.

Bilingual facilitators weave in Thai culinary arts and craft stations, so language and creativity happen side by side. As the hornbill says: "My hands make amazing things."

Play and Create, Hornbill Week schedule, 6th to 10th July, field trip to MAPIN Art Studio
Week 4

Play & Swim

The dugong's week is the wettest of the five: a field trip to World Club Sport Complex brings water-flow play, splash zones, and pool time, alongside days that still keep one foot in the mud kitchen and the garden.

It's the most photographed week of camp, so its gallery below runs deeper than the rest. As the dugong says: "I jump in and give it a go."

Week 5

Play & Climb

Summer closes out with the gibbon's week: a field trip to Progression brings climbing walls, balance courses, and vertical movement challenges that build strength and confidence for the final stretch.

Tinkering and woodwork carry through too, real child-safe tools and construction with recycled timber and loose parts. As the gibbon says: "I keep going even when it's hard."
