Camp Activities
Archimedes Claw
Campers dive into ancient Greek engineering with the Archimedes Claw project, where they design a 3D model of this legendary defensive weapon, learning about leverage and the mechanics of lifting and toppling invading ships.
Catapult
Harnessing the power of torsion to launch projectiles over great distances, campers work on a 3D-designed catapult, understanding the physics behind energy transfer and projectile motion in mediaeval siege warfare.
Siege Tower
Campers create a towering example of ancient military ingenuity with the Siege Tower project, focusing on structural stability and the strategic use of height and mobility in overcoming fortress defences.
Battering Ram
Design a formidable battering ram, delving into the principles of momentum and force distribution, and exploring how ancient engineers breached fortifications with this powerful siege weapon.
War Machine
Campers will innovate with a dual-purpose war machine that can both attack and defend, combining elements of design, engineering, and strategic thinking to develop a multifunctional 3D model that embodies the principles of ancient siege machinery and modern defence tactics.
