One of the aspects about the experience that explorers will love is the chance to earn badges or “sparks” by completing activities developed by Pip’s Island experts. The team has been working on the program and educational aspects, utilizing the latest trends in play and educational curriculum. Be prepared to be mesmerized, challenged and motivated to earn a variety of badges. No two experiences are alike. Kids are going to love this new and unique experience and so will parents.
