Summer 2024 Program Descriptions
What do parents and campers have to say about our camps?
The program was engaging, exciting and thrilling for my son and he is wanting to get back more to the laboratory space. In his words, “Nothing beats the excitement of hands-on experiments and scientific exploration at camp!” – Parent 2024
A thing that made this camp experience the absolute best was how I met so many other people, who also really enjoyed STEAM, and outer space. That is something I have been searching for, for years! Now I can’t wait to come back! – Camper 2024
Thank you for this great week, it stimulated my child’s interest in science! This one week camp made a big impact on my middle schooler, she liked all the Counselors and making new friends. The most important is that now she found science is actually very interesting, and not as boring as she thought before. She even told me she may study brain science and neurology, amazing! I cannot believe she did not like science before the camp. Thank you! – Parent 2024
I liked this camp because I always wanted to be inside of a university campus, let alone do camp there! I loved this camp because of some of my new friends and the experiments were really fun as well. – Camper 2024
I was given confidence in trying my best at everything as well as being given tips on how I can improve even more. The camp introduced us to many interesting experiments, concepts, and projects, and we learned on how it can be used in the real world. – Camper 2024
Daily Schedule
All of our camps are one week in length. Campus camps runs Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Markham camps run Monday to Friday from 8:30am-3:30pm.
A typical day consists of two to four experiments and activities. There are two 30-minute breaks and one 1-hour lunch for students to use the washrooms, have a snack, and enable camp staff to implement camp room cleaning procedures.
Lunch is not provided, and will be held outdoors picnic-style, weather permitting. We recommend using ice packs for your child’s lunch, as we do not have the facilities to refrigerate lunches.
Allergies are an increasing concern, particularly nut allergies. We do implement a nut-safe lunch policy for the safety of our campers. We ask that you pack nut-free lunches for all campers.
Which grade group should my child be registered in?
Due to the academic nature of our programs, we recommend participants register for programs based on the grade they will be entering in September 2024.
