TECH CAMPS
ENGINEERING CAMPS
MINECRAFT (Gr 3-5) $210
If your child is Minecraft obsessed and dreams of making their own
swords, blocks and mobs then this is the camp for them! Kids will learn
basic programming logic through activities both on and off the
computer. They will learn how to edit and do simple programming in
Java to create their own Minecraft Mod that they will be able to play,
upload, and share with others. Don’t worry, they won’t spend the whole
day on the computer (although they’d like too!) We have lots of other
fun and minecrafty activities to keep their day active and balanced.
JAVA GAME PROGRAMMING (Gr 4-5) $210
Students will learn about project design, object-oriented programming,
console applications, graphics applications and many elements of the
Java language. Along the way students will use what they learn to
create their first simple game in Java. No programming experience is
necessary but doing common tasks on a computer is useful. Who
knows, maybe you have the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs living in your
house and you never knew it!
BUILD YOUR OWN COMPUTER (Gr 2-5) $360
In this hands-on investigation, kids will learn how a computer works by
building a simple Raspberry Pi computer. Once the building is done, the
fun continues while kids create their own versions of simple games and
code in Minecraft on the computer they just built. We will have plenty of
time off the computer as well when kids have the chance to learn and
test game design and programming through active play. Kids keep their
Raspberry Pi mini computer with all their projects on it as well as a
better understanding of computers, programming logic and game design.
SCIENCE CAMPS
EXPLODING SCIENCE (Gr K-5) $210
These are some science experiments that kids just can’t get enough of the ooey, gooey, exploding and fizzing kind is what we are talking about!
There will be plenty of ooohs, aaahs, and iiiiicks in this camp where we
will don our lab coats and use real scientific instruments and the scientific
method to conduct fun and exciting experiments.
JR. LEGO MINECRAFT ROBOTICS
(Gr 1-5) $220
Jr. engineers and Lego builders will love this camp by bringing
Minecraft to life with Lego! Build a motorized walking creeper, a
terrifying Ghost, or anything Minecrafty that your imagination can
think of! This project-based camp combines the basic format of our
engineering themed programs based on the world of Minecraft.
Students will use the Systems Engineering V to design, plan and
explore real-world concepts in physics, engineering and architecture
while building their favorite Minecraft objects.
(Please note that this camp is a basics robotics introduction
and does not use mindstorms).
BUILD, TEST AND BATTLE (Gr K-5) $220
Each day kids will use the systems engineering design process to
design, create, and test amazing builds such as cars, air rockets, and
bridges. The fun gets bigger and wilder when the camp splits into
teams to build ballistics projects like trebuchets, catapults,
marshmallow shooters and lay seige to the other team’s base in a
friendly battle.
(Girls don’t be afraid to sign up - Gizmo and Gadget Girls can
do anything!)
BUILD YOUR OWN ADIRONDACK CHAIR
(Gr 2-5) $260
What could be more suited to summer than an adirondack chair!
In this camp you will use the systems engineering process to plan,
design, then build just the right size adirondack chair for you. During
this process kids will not only be taught how to use tools safely but
also develop their woodworking skills by using real tools and learning
all about the designing process. This is perfect for that summer fun
in your backyard!

MAKER CAMP (Gr K-5) $210
Direct from the experts at Make Magazine and facilitated by
our own talented makers this is a camp your kid is sure to love.
Campers will get inspired and complete new maker projects each
day. This eclectic camp includes projects such as and simple
animatronics, wind tunnels to make planes lift, flowing fountains
with no electricity, LED throwies, bouncy balls, vibrobots, cork
launchers and more.
(Maker activities vary with each camp, so feel free to sign up for
more than one).
BIG MESSY ART CAMP (Gr K-5) $210
OH YES! We said Big and Messy! Let your creative child feel free
to immerse themselves from head to toe in those art projects
you’d never dare to do in your house. Pendulum painting, large
scale paper mache sculptures, splat painting with food and
household items, and giant spin art are a few examples of the fun
in store for kids in this camp!
GO WILD CREATIONS (Gr K-5) $210
Have a budding artisan at home that loves to create? Cool
artisan skills meet modern day projects in this camp with beautiful
results. No foam door hangers here, these are art projects you’ll
want to keep. Kids will enjoy wood art using real tools, 3D canvas
art, giant town tower installations, spray paint graffiti, pour paint
method to emulate famous artists, bath bombs that explode and
more! Let your child’s imagination flow!
