School's out — now what? CAMP is the answer.
Whether it's a hot summer day, a long weekend, or a school holiday, CAMP turns any day off into a full afternoon your kids will actually remember. Step through the Magic Door, get hands-on in the Canteen, and leave with something made, something earned, and a whole lot of stories to tell.
How to Spend 3–4 Hours at CAMP
[Step 1 — Book Your Magic Door Ticket
Every great CAMP day starts here. The Magic Door experience runs about an hour and drops kids into a fully immersive themed world led by CAMP Counselors.
Book Your Experience
[Step 2 — Hit the Slime Bar
After the Magic Door, head straight to the Slime Bar. Kids mix, stretch, and fully customize their own slime from scratch. Pay-per-activity, no extra ticket needed. Budget about 20–30 minutes and expect to get a little messy.

[Step 3 — Get Creative at the Maker Studio
Still going? Good — because the Maker Studio is next. Ceramic painting, plush pillow design, and a rotating lineup of seasonal crafts mean there's always something new to make.

FAQ: Day Off Experiences at CAMP
What should I do with my kids on a day off from school?
CAMP is one of the best options for a school day off — a fully planned afternoon of immersive play, slime-making, crafts, and more for kids ages 2–10. Most families spend 2–4 hours at CAMP, making it the perfect way to fill a day off without having to plan every minute yourself.
How long is a CAMP day off experience?
Most families spend between 2 and 4 hours at CAMP on a day off. The Magic Door immersive experience runs about an hour, and families can add on the Slime Bar, Maker Studio, and toy store for a full afternoon of activities.
Do I need to book CAMP tickets in advance for a school holiday?
Yes — CAMP fills up fast on school holidays, long weekends, and days off. Magic Door tickets are timed-entry and sell out during peak periods. Booking in advance online at camp.com is strongly recommended to guarantee your spot.
Is CAMP open on school holidays?
Yes — CAMP locations are open year-round including most school holidays. Hours may vary by location and holiday. Check your nearest CAMP location page for up to date holiday hours before your visit.
What ages is CAMP best for on a day off?
CAMP is designed for kids ages 2–10. The sweet spot for the Day Off experience is roughly 3–8 — old enough to explore independently and young enough to be completely swept up in the magic of it. Kids under 2 are free with a ticketed adult.
How much does a CAMP day off experience cost?
CAMP ticket pricing varies by location, experience, and ticket time selected. The total cost of your visit will depend on which Magic Door ticket you choose and any add-ons — like the Slime Bar or Maker Studio — that you include. Visit your nearest CAMP location page on camp.com for current pricing and to book your Magic Door ticket.
