Join an unforgettable Summer Outdoor Club and explore Edinburgh like never before.

Following a sell-out club in 2024, Dynamic Earth’s Summer Outdoor Club returns to inspire a new generation of young scientists. Designed to give children the skills they need to become scientists through fun outdoor activities like rocket engineering and shelter building, plus lots of crafts and group games.

Running throughout July and early August, the club takes place in Holyrood Park and the stunning green spaces surrounding Dynamic Earth. Each day focuses on a different themes and skills essential for scientific success such as creativity, problem solving and experimenting. The Summer Outdoor Club gives kids the opportunity to design exciting inventions, crack tricky questions and work together to make the big things happen — all while making new friends and unforgettable memories.

With a mix of outdoor play, science games and nature walk there’s something to spark the imagination of every young scientist. With limited spaces available, Dynamic Earth encourages booking early to avoid disappointment.

Conor Ellis, Director for Science Learning and Engagement at Dynamic Earth, said:
“Our Summer Outdoor Club is the perfect solution for parents looking for enriching holiday activities this summer. With specialist kit, expertise and access to Holyrood Park – our team will deliver an inspirational outdoor club that highlights the importance of the local natural world in our everyday lives. It’s an exciting chance for young minds to connect with nature and embrace the scientific skills needed for success and have a brilliant time doing it.”

Dubbed by families as “the best summer camp in Edinburgh” by previous attendees and loved for its unique mix of fun and education, this year’s programme promises to delight from start to finish.

Summer Outdoor Club Dates:
• 7th July – 11th July
• 14th July – 18th July
• 21st July – 25th July
• 28th July – 1st August
