The Power of Play and Purpose – Inside Our Think Box & Growth Zone Workshops

Think Box & Growth Zone: How Ultimate Kids Teaches Life Skills Through Play

Discover how Ultimate Kids’ unique Growth Zone and Think Box workshops develop children’s physical, emotional, and social skills through fun, structured activities.


At Ultimate Kids, we don’t just believe in keeping children active, we believe in helping them grow. That’s why our camps feature two standout workshop sessions that do just that: The Growth Zone and Think Box. These signature experiences go beyond sport and play to give children meaningful tools for life.

Let’s take a deeper look into how these workshops work, why they’re so powerful, and why your child will come home with more than just muddy trainers and a big smile.

🧠 The Growth Zone – Fun Meets Foundations

Welcome to the Growth Zone: a fast-paced, high-energy carousel of 15-minute mini-workshops that help children move, think, and connect.

Each session is designed to target three essential development areas:

  • Team Building: Activities that promote collaboration, leadership, and shared goals.
  • Problem Solving: Challenges that require critical thinking, creativity, and perseverance.
  • High Activity: Pulse-raising games that improve coordination, fitness, and focus.

Children rotate through these stations in small groups, engaging in carefully designed tasks that stretch their minds as much as their muscles. The result? A fun, dynamic learning experience that builds confidence, encourages teamwork, and makes every child feel like a champion.

The Growth Zone is where we show that learning doesn’t need a whiteboard—it just needs a well-placed cone, a good sense of humour, and a whole lot of encouragement.

💭 The Think Box – Big Ideas for Young Minds

After a busy day of running, jumping, and playing, we invite kids to shift gears and focus inward with our reflective, creative Think Box workshops.

Each day covers a new life-skills theme:

  • Healthy eating and nutrition
  • Emotional awareness and resilience
  • Positive relationships and kindness
  • Growth mindset and setting goals

Think Box gives children the space to explore these topics through art, discussion, and games. 

We know emotional intelligence is just as important as physical fitness, and our campers leave Think Box with tools to understand themselves better, express their feelings, and treat others with empathy and respect.

Some kids will never forget the dodgeball victory. Others will remember the day they learned it’s okay to feel nervous, and how to bounce back.

🌟 Why These Workshops Matter

We designed the Growth Zone and Think Box to complement each other, body and brain, active and reflective. Together, they help children:

  • Build physical, social, and emotional confidence
  • Learn transferable life skills through movement and play
  • Develop focus, empathy, leadership, and resilience

It’s not just about keeping kids busy, it’s about giving them the best start in life.
