Camp Dates & Themes
Camp Themes + Cost
Our camp is centered around engineering and science projects that are geared towards the age of our campers. All of our projects are designed from the Ontario Science Curriculum to ensure that the material is relevant, educational, and fun!
Camp weeks repeat if not indicated by an -A and -B.
For example: SK-2 Space July 17-21 is the same set of activities as SK-2 Space Aug 14-18.
Theme: Engineering | $250/week
Our mainstay programming is back again this year for all camper grades. Campers registered for these weeks will learn about different types of engineering through a variety of hands-on design projects. Activities will vary each year, but examples may include: building your own terrarium (grade SK-2), civil engineering earthquake challenge (grade 3-5) and building a prosthetic arm (grade 6-8). Note four-day camp weeks are $200.
Theme: Coding | $250/week
Coding camp is back and we are excited to share all the fun tech devices that we haven't been able to use virtually. This theme is open to students in grades 3-8. Activity topics include: Virtual Reality in Cospaces, 3D printing, block coding and script coding in our advanced program. This theme sells out each year so we recommend signing up early for this camp!
Theme: STEAM | $250/week
This year we are mixing art with science, technology, engineering and mathematics to make STEAM camp through creative and surprising programming that will highlight the imagination and beauty of STEM. This theme is offered in both the grade SK-2 camp as well as the grade 3-5 camp. Be prepared to learn about the music of STEM, create your own STEM art and even program robots to create own art.
Grade 3-5 STEAM camp has one stream and Grade SK-2 STEAM camp has two different streams with unique activities: STEAM A and STEAM B.
Theme: Space | $250/week
In partnership with the Institute for Space and Earth Exploration we are so excited to offer space camp to students in grade SK-8. Students will be taken on an adventure of a lifetime as they explore planet atmospheres, how rockets work and programming rovers to do different tasks in space. We know that these camp weeks are going to be a BLAST!
Theme: Biomedical Engineering (NEW) | $250/week
We tested in theme in our fall club program and were so impressed with the response that we are designing a whole week around this. Only available in the grade 6-8 camp offerings, students will learn how the medicine and engineering merge in the exciting field of biomedical engineering.
Theme: E^2 Engineering and Entrepreneurship | $250/week
Do you have what it takes to take your engineering to the next level? E^2 Engineering and Entrepreneurship mixes hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with explorations in leadership and business. Be prepared to design, build, and pitch your own start-up!
Theme: Just for Girls Camp Weeks | $250/week
Who Run The World? Girls! Thats right we are bringing back Just for Girls weeks for campers in grades 4-8. There will be a variety of camp themes that will be reserved for girls and will feature additional activities that highlight all the amazing accomplishments that female scientists and engineers have made. There are two different steams of Just for Girls camp with unique activities: Just for Girls A (July 3-7) and Just for Girls B (August 1-4). Note four-day camp weeks are $200.
