The both-worlds problem

Most holiday programmes only give you half

🎮 Pure entertainment

Fun — but your child comes home having learned nothing.

📚 Pure academics

Useful — but it's just school by another name, and the kids dread it.

Mastermind Camp gives you both. Built around group work, kids get real time to bond — and every activity uses the same higher-order thinking Kancil Science rewards. A real competition edge, and the best day of their holiday.

"But I could just…"

Why Mastermind, and not the alternatives

🏠

Instead of a day at home

Left to themselves, the holiday becomes hours of TikTok, YouTube and Roblox — restlessness and a tense house by dinner. Mastermind redirects that energy into something that genuinely lights them up.

📚

Instead of tuition

Tuition drills. Mastermind develops. Your child discusses real Kancil Science questions and builds HOTS skills — learning straight from the Kancil Science team, not a generic tuition centre.

🔬

Instead of any other camp

Few programmes bring hands-on experiments, HOTS problem-solving and a guided museum exhibition tour together — all in one day. Most give you one. Mastermind gives all three.
