The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! Summer camps every year in July and August. Designed especially for kids going into Grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 for the upcoming Fall. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers!
Each of our camps run from 9-4 each day, with drop off between 8:30-9 am and pick up between 4-4:30 pm. Lunch and a camp t-shirt are included with camp fees.
This is by far the best camp we have ever enrolled our kids into!
2024 Summer Camp Themes

Over a given week, campers can expect to experience activities from Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Agriculture, and Computer Science. Many of the weeks will also include activities from Geography and Kinesiology. 3D Printing is also worked into many of our camps!
