STEM Camp prepares children for a world where 70% of jobs currently require a solid STEM-based education.
STEM Camp focuses on engaging campers in fun science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities that are designed to foster an interest in these subject areas. Studies show that children who are exposed to STEM at early ages have a better chance at embracing these subjects as they move through the education levels and enter the Canadian workforce. Our world is ever changing and the demand for STEM-based education will only increase.

STEM Camp is founded on the principle that students want exciting, challenging, and life impacting STEM experiences. The camp is committed to demonstrating how STEM works in the real world by providing hands on activities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) enhanced by the people, through videoconferencing, virtual tours and field trips, who work in those fields every day.
Its belief is that students learn best through hands-on experiences and that STEM learning should be both fun and memorable. Activities are age appropriate with hands on activities for all age groups. Activity challenges and extensions are available for those campers needing more of a challenge. It also integrates science and engineering kits, which complement the curriculum and allow children to create ingenious inventions, enhance critical problem solving skills, and have fun.
