Planning what to do with the kids in June as they eagerly anticipate the school holidays? How does a fun-filled one-night "camp-cation" on the agenda sound? You can expect thrilling laser tag gameplay, perplexing puzzles and a scavenger hunt that exercise everyone's mental acuity as well as a relaxing silent yoga session.

Yep, we're talking about Camp 1N, organised by Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC). The 2D1N family-friendly experience makes its return this year, and will take place on selected weekdays from May 30 to June 16.

Plus, in a first, you'll get to access SDC's Sandbox gallery after hours, and spend the night in your sleeping bags among the exhibits. We take you through the itinerary:

Day 1

After checking in, the fun begins with Family Exploration Time, with free admission to selected signature attractions.

Kick-start the action by blasting each other in adrenaline-filled laser tag shootouts at Black Lake Laser Battlefield; getting on thrilling 4D simulation rides at XD Theatre; and learning more about the history of Singapore through an immersive journey with the use of Augmented Reality (AR). Hello, core memories!

Refuel after expending all that energy by chowing down on authentic Asian and local zi-char cuisine at Bottle Tree Cafe Restaurant while admiring the picturesque view of the Discovery Lake featuring over 600 floating solar panels.

Then it's time to sort out your pre-sleep sitch: Haul your sleeping bags to your allocated sleeping areas and decorate your own Snooze Zone with blankets, plushies and your die-die must-have chou-chou/bantal busuk.

Up next, a Scavenger Hunt around the SDC Gallery: follow the map, collect clues, solve riddles, and complete the mission as a family.

What's bedtime without a bedtime story? And an interactive one at that. As night falls, huddle down in comfy PJs for Bedtime Tales @ Interchange.

From 10pm onwards, it'll be a period of winding down till lights out at 11pm. Sleep should come very easily after a full day of action. Night!

Day 2

Rise and shine! Work for your breakfast with a silent yoga session. Feel your entire body relax; headphones in, tensions out.

After breakfast, pack up and check out of this "camp-cation". But wait - there's a Blockbuster Movie Screening at 11am before the camp comes to a close.
