Weekly summer programs that spark curiosity, exploration and fun.

May 27 - 31: Music and Movement

This is a week filled with music, movement, and maestros! Students will build and play their own instruments, learn about music theory, and explore dances from around the world. From exploring musical genres to learning dance techniques, this immersive week is a vibrant fusion of sound and motion.

June 3-7: Science and Discovery

Become a mad scientist, or let some sparks fly…either way campers will be in for hands-on and experiment-based fun in a week of Science and Discovery. Campers will learn about famous scientists, explore the scientific method, and create and test hypotheses of their own. We’ll learn how to make things disappear (with science!) and make things sticky (with slime!). This week will be full of WOW and surprises – it’s a classic camp favorite!

June 10-14: Game Craft

Get ready to create your own games and learn how designers think about building games. This is a week of fun, strategy, creativity, and friendly competition. We’ll explore classic board and card games, plus new and different twists on outdoor classics. Campers will also immerse themselves in the art of game creation, brainstorming innovative concepts and crafting rules that spark excitement.

June 17-21: Drawing and Design

Budding artists, architects, and explorers will embark on a creative odyssey during our Drawing and Design week! Unleash your imagination and learn new techniques, like portrait drawing, tessellations, 3D drawing, and parabolic art. This week combines math, artistry, and architecture, and everyone will leave with individual artistic creations and new artistic skills!

June 24-28: Spectacular Structures

From birdhouses to bridges to forts: campers will observe, explore, and create Spectacular Structures. They’ll learn about the origins of building throughout history – from the first human shelters to the tallest skyscrapers in the world. They’ll explore the buildings in their own town and beyond.

July 1-5: Gardening Glory

Embark on a vibrant adventure with our week on growing things! Budding gardeners will learn the secrets of seed-planting, the art of composting, and the dance of pollinators. We’ll craft personalized plant markers and pots, explore the world below the ground, and dive into some of the delicious plants all around us.

July 8-12: Fantastic Fibers

Tote bags, tie-dye, dream catchers, and braided bracelets…what do these all have in common? They are all made of one common element, fibre! During Fantastic Fibres students will work on fibre-inspired creations while learning about their use in different cultures, for example Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese technique for making braids and cords.

July 15-19: Theatre and Improvisation

Act out a play in this week of performance! Children will explore the role of actors and learn to read a script and explore the ancient roots of theater. Children will also play improvisation games and learn the art of thinking on your feet!

July 22-26: Need for Speed

Get ready to test the boundaries of DIY inventions with Need for Speed! Using simple materials, campers will set all sorts of creations in motion – from rubber band racers, catapults, tornado bottles to pool noodle boats. And of course, they’ll get to end each day putting them to the test in a race!

July 29-August 2: Abracadabra! Making Magic

In this magical camp week, we’ll unlock the secrets of sorcery and the art of illusion. From wand-making to fantasy creatures, hands-on activities, games, and quests, campers will embark on a journey of wonder into the world of the magical. We’ll also explore the role of magic in mythology and story-telling from around the world. Consider this your owl-delivered letter from Hogwarts, and come join the magical fun!
