Get ready for a cool Antarctic adventure! Polar Camp invites kids to explore a frosty world filled with imagination, play, and discovery with performers from Barking Spider Creative and real Antarctic scientists from Monash University.

Bundle up and step into an exciting polar research camp! Join the Polar Play Explorers from Barking Spider Creative and scientists from Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) at Monash University for a fun, hands-on Antarctic adventure packed with discovery and play.

As they gather around the campsite, captivating storytelling will ignite their imaginations, inspiring dreams of icy expeditions beneath the dazzling polar sky and among wandering penguins. Through games, hands-on activities, and teamwork, they will explore the wonders of Antarctica in an immersive educational experience that keeps them engaged, curious, and warm.

Join the penguin parade for an action-packed festival from Wed 9 – Sat 12 July, filled with ice play, glacier music, polar camping, krill cabaret, and more! Monash University merges science and the arts, bringing some of the latest Antarctic research and discoveries to life these school holidays.
