Inviting all innovators and voyagers to a space trip like no other, come embark on a mission to discover the mysteries of the cosmos. Venture through planets, designing projects to help facilitate your space travels. Traverse rocky space formations with the help of rovers, exploring the unknown in the safety of your seat. In this camp students will explore simulated galaxies, each offering immersive activities and adventures in space science and technology.

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

All-Star Arena ($425 | 340/4 day week)

topics covered: biology, biomechanics, kinesiology and physiology

How does your body move? How do our nerves signal our muscles to move and react in the sports we play? Get ready to tie up your laces and wipe off your sweat as you’ll be jumping into learning about the applications of science into sports. You’ll be figuring out the biomechanics behind your favourite sports and learning if the proper form your coach keeps saying really matters.  

Culinary Chemists ($425)

topics covered: Chemistry, biology and food sciences

The use of science within food can be seen thousands of years ago. From the most simple action of cooking with fire to the fermentation of meat and vegetables. Our modern day food scientists focus on research and experimentation on new food products and cooking methods, improving nutrition, taste and preservation methods. Come take a bite into the realms of science all concerned about food and its systems around it.

Bits & Bytes ($449)

topics covered: Computational thinking, CS and algorithms

Do you ever look at someone and wonder, what is going inside their head? Ever wonder about this about your computer? We’ve all heard that computers think in 1’s and 0’s but what do they do with these numbers and how are they calculated? Come join us in poking and prodding the mind and brain of your PC, figuring out what is really going on inside there. Campers will learn about how computers “thinks” and work through hands-on activities and tech, exploring the science around computational thinking.
