Think like NASA innovators during this program inspired by the NASA OPTIMUS PRIME Challenge. How might space suit cooling tubes be used to solve a problem on Earth? How might robotic arms help make our world a better place? With the spark of an idea, a design notebook & physical and digital tools, teams will modify NASA technology into Spinoff designs.

Campers will spend their days experiencing and learning the bear-building process (taking home a new plush bear every day!), expressing creativity through crafts and custom tees for their furry friends, and playing games in the Fun Zone arcade. Each day, the campers will experience one of the unique party experiences from Build-A-Bear Adventure including Bear Builder U, the Bakeshop party, the Ultimate Adventure, and the end-of-camp graduation ceremony!

Kids will love learning all about the basics of art and getting their hands dirty with Drawing and Design. Portrait drawing, tessellations, 3D drawing, and parabolic art (look it up) are just some of the projects kids will work on during this week’s theme. There is lots of meaning to unpack from math and patterns in parabolic art, to the origins of portrait drawing and how it has evolved in modern times (hint: selfies).

Tote bags, tie-dye, dream catchers, and braided bracelets…what do these all have in common? They are all made of one common element, fibre! During Fantastic Fibres students will work on fibre-inspired creations while learning about their use in different cultures, for example Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese technique for making braids and cords.

Creative Contraption Warning! This is a camp designed by you--the Inventor! Each day you'll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from the world of famous inventors, and the most important thing of all--your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity, you'll construct catapults and forts and then lay siege, construct a mini boat, and assemble a working light saber to take home.

Kids Learn about archaeology and the techniques scientists use to excavate long lost cities! They discover ancient civilizations and the tools and artifacts they used in everyday life! They also study bone fragments, pottery shards, amber deposits, and fossils to understand what they can tell us about history! What’s more, each class includes a make and take-home project, like a fossil reproduction, an amber time capsule, and coins from around the world!

From the earliest flying machines to the first rocket flights, this week long, hands-on program will give children a bird's eye view of the history and science of flight. Your child will build many different flying devices and explore the science of aerodynamics and flight with the help of Newton's laws. We don't stop there, though, because we're heading out of the atmosphere with a look at rockets and our Galactic neighborhood!

The name says it all…Music Makers is a week filled with music, movement, and maestros! Students will build and play their own instrument inventions, learn about music theory, and interact with music through writing, dance, and drawing, ultimately ending the week by performing a live show for their friends.

Get ready to test the boundaries of DIY inventions with Need for Speed! Using simple materials, campers will set all sorts of creations in motion – from rubber band racers, catapults, tornado bottles to pool noodle boats. And of course, they’ll get to end each day putting them to the test in a race!

Each week, we'll start off with a themed story that will transport us to magical lands, teach us valuable life lessons, and spark our imagination. After the story, it's time to get crafty! We use basic art supplies you already have at home to make a connection to the story.

We are excited to provide opportunities for your children to explore interests, develop their abilities, and build friendships through a curated selection of camp offerings in a nurturing school environment.

Become a mad scientist, or let some sparks fly…either way your kids will be in for hands-on and experiment based fun in our Science and Circuitry themed week! Campers will use potatoes to create their own battery. They will create a light up wand and learn how to make straw rockets. Or maybe your child will practice disappearing coins or eggshells, and learn how to levitate an object. Whichever choice they make this week will be full of a WOW factor and surprises – it’s a classic camp favorite!

From birdhouses to bridges to forts, campers will observe, explore, and create spectacular structures and learn about the origins of building throughout history, from the first human shelters to structures that meet other societal needs like bridges or water dams.
