Fun, Social & Engaging!
Each project is designed to maximize teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on fun, ensuring every child feels excited and accomplished.
We teach hands-on science, technology, engineering and mechanics as well as coding to children aged 5 to 15 and we make it EASY for kids to understand these concepts with child friendly tools, examples and hands-on learning that allows kids to connect the familiar (their experience) with the unfamiliar (new concepts / ideas).
Students aged 5 to 7 are grouped together and age appropriate activities are designed specifically for their fun and learning capabilities.
Student 8 to 15 are separated into two separate groups and their activities are team driven, each member of the team are given a role and they work together as a team to compete and develop long lasting friendships and experience engineering mechanics, coding, 3D printing, developing their presentation skills and learn the core values of First Lego League.
CHECKLIST TO PACK DAILY:
For safety and security reasons, we ask that campers leave the following items at home:
Afternoon Extended Care is provided for the week at an additional cost of $35.00 ($35.00/Week).
This ensures flexibility for parents while giving campers extra time to enjoy supervised activities in a relaxed environment.
Yes! Families have the flexibility to register for an individual week or multiple weeks based on their schedule. However, space is limited, so we recommend securing your preferred weeks early.
Note that if you only book for a week that there is a chance that your child will LOVE THIS CAMP SO MUCH they’ll want to book another week BUT due to high demand for our camp; its highly likely there may not be a seat available in the week you want to book. So book early!!!
We have a ratio of 16 campers to 2 coaches and or 8 campers to 1 coach.
Yes, our classrooms are FULLY air-conditioned to ensure campers stay cool and comfortable throughout the Summer Camp.
We further sanitize the school with environmentally friendly and allergen-free sanitizers after every day of camp to further ensure a clean environment for our campers.
Our main Robotics & Coding rooms are also further equipped with a clean room HEPA Air Filter and Ionizer machine that clean the air by emitting negative ions that attach to particles (dust, smoke, pollen, bacteria), causing them to become heavy and settle onto the HEPA collector and further reduce small airborne particles.
Yes! Each week, we offer a fun and enriching field trip that ties into our weekly theme. While these trips are optional, they do come with a separate cost — but rest assured, we only charge the actual cost of admission plus transportation. Again, the cost of Field Trips are NOT INCLUDED in weekly Camp Fee.
Prices vary depending on the destination, typically ranging from free up to a maximum of $45. Some trips may be just $25 or $35, depending on the activity that week.
If you choose not to have your child participate in a particular field trip, no problem — you can simply pick them up at a designated time that day.
Most of the day will be camp programs, but our professional instructors and coaches always bring the campers out in the mornings and or at lunch time for physical activity.
