Welcome to STEMquest Summer Camps – Where Learning Meets Adventure!

At STEMquest, we offer an exciting, hands-on experience for every child, with something for everyone! Whether your child loves LEGO, Minecraft, Robotics, or exploring cutting-edge technology like Augmented Reality, we’ve got it all. Each week, we dive deep into all things STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math – with an integrated approach that ensures no two days are the same.

Our camps feature a perfect mix of structured and unstructured activities, including:

• LEGO Builders: Create simple LEGO structures, motorized brick projects, and solar-powered brick machines.

• Minecraft Coders: Dive into the world of Minecraft and learn coding skills to build, explore, and innovate.

• Robotics Enthusiasts: Build and control robots, and learn the fundamentals of programming to make them come to life!

• Tech Explorers: Experiment with 3D projects, discover augmented reality, and explore the latest in tech and innovation.

• Science Lovers: Conduct fun, hands-on science experiments that make learning fun and interactive.

• Math Fans: Challenge your brain with math worksheets and problem-solving activities for a fun twist on numbers.

• Art Creators: Express creativity through art projects and hands-on crafts.

Additionally, we encourage physical activity with indoor yoga, stretching, and, when weather permits, outdoor walks and games.

At STEMquest, we don’t follow traditional themes. Instead, our integrated approach brings all STEM disciplines into the spotlight, allowing campers to explore a range of exciting topics throughout the week. Every day is a new opportunity to create, learn, and have fun!

Join us at STEMquest this summer – where imagination and innovation come together to spark creativity and curiosity in every child!

The ratio is 1 counselor for every 12 campers

Our counselors are not trained to manage special needs. STEMquest Camps operate in group settings and do not have additional staff for one-on-one support. We are not equipped to meet the specific needs of every child.

At STEMquest, we are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment for all campers. However, if a camper’s behavior poses a safety risk or involves violence, harassment, bullying, intimidation, or aggression towards others (including staff), we reserve the right to send them home immediately. Such incidents will result in removal from the camp without a refund.

STEMquest operates in group setups and does not provide additional staff for individualized support or one-on-one ratios. If a child is unable to engage in group activities, we will make two attempts to redirect their behavior. If further redirection is needed, the child will be sent home.

STEMquest focuses on robotics, coding, and technology, offering educational materials related to robotics, as well as tablets, laptops, and large screens at the center. Children who exhibit aggression toward the materials or show disregard for the equipment will receive two redirections before being sent home.

For more details, refer to the policy here: https://www.stemquest.ca/behavior-policy.

A signed waiver is required for all participants who wish to attend STEMquest workshops, events, birthday parties, and programs. For minors, a parent or legal guardian must complete and sign the waiver on their behalf before participation. Waivers help ensure safety and understanding for all involved and must be submitted prior to the start of any STEMquest activity.
