Is your child a fan of LEGO®? Love to explore and build with a variety of technic materials? Coding and Robotics? Or just love to get creative? Well, we are here for you!
We are so excited to offer a full 8-week Summer Day Camp in the West Island! Our camp will consist of weekly themes and your child will be learning from basic LEGO® building to advance technology. Campers will learn to create their own mini-movie or comic video, they will build robots and cars and code them, they will explore the world of art with LEGO® and so much more. Some of our themes: GAME ON (Super Mario theme), NINGA week, Super Hero Academy, World of Imagination, Sports Fanatic and more! This camp not only will bring a whole new level of STEM programs but our campers will also get the best of being in a camp that provides them sports, arts, dance and 3D printing and all other fun camp activities. Why not get the best of both worlds?! All materials are supplied, and in some cases, allow students’ access to expensive, specialized and hard to find LEGO® products and software they might not otherwise be exposed to.
All camps include small daily take-home items, one “FUN” lunch a week (yes, we do pizza lunches, BBQ lunches etc with special events once a week!), inflatables and fun treats during the week. We will bring specialists to the camp (since we can’t do field trips, we will bring them to us!). Prices include GST. Tax receipts will be provided. Our summer camp is bilingual.

$240 / Week
$875 / 4 Weeks
