Summer Academy (Burnaby)

brick builders lab (tech) | $495 early bird: $445

topics covered: engineering, coding

Get ready to build, code, and invent in this hands-on 5-day tech camp! We’ll explore the six classical simple machines (Lever, Wheel and Axle, Pulley, Inclined Plane, Wedge, and Screw) and discover how they make work easier. Using LEGO Spike Prime kits and drag-and-drop coding, you will build a different simple machine each day, then combine them to create your own marvelous invention. From coding a robot to lift heavy objects todesigning a fast-moving vehicle, you’ll learn foundational physics and engineering principles while bringing your imagination to life!

*Please note that our tech camps typically focus 50% on application based activities, and 50% on hands-on, unplugged activities away from the computer.

flight of passage | $465 early bird: $415

topics covered: engineering, physics

Ready to soar? Campers explore the science of flight through hands‑on builds, sky‑high challenges, and creative investigations that reveal how birds, planes, and even giant machines take to the air. They’ll experiment with forces like lift and drag, test their own flying creations, and discover the engineering behind everything from gliders to jets. It’s a breezy, high‑energy week perfect for young aviators.

nautical navigators | $465 early bird: $415

topics covered: ocean science, engineering, boat design

Hoist the sails and grab your compass—it’s time for a high‑seas adventure. Campers explore the science and history of life on the ocean through hands‑on boat‑building, seaworthy challenges, and creative activities inspired by real explorers and pirates of the past. From testing what makes a vessel float to learning how people once navigated the open waters, each day brings a new discovery. It’s a week full of imagination, teamwork, and ocean‑themed fun.

space invaders | $465 early bird: $415

topics covered: space exploration, astronomy

What secrets are hiding in the vastness of space? Campers blast off into the cosmos as they explore planets, stars, galaxies, and everything in between. Through hands‑on experiments, creative investigations, and cosmic‑themed challenges, they uncover how our universe works and what makes it so endlessly fascinating. From modeling celestial bodies to imagining life on distant worlds, this week turns curiosity into a full‑on space adventure.
