Every year our Instructors build a new schedule and create new lessons for each summer camp! To see examples of what was done last year view our camp website!
The 2023 schedule and exact activities will be available a couple weeks before the camps begin.
Information
General, Co-Ed Camps
Discover new and exciting aspects of technology and engineering! Understand the concepts of programming, electronics and multimedia applications. Apply your new skills to create websites, build robots, design apps, develop 2D or 3D computer graphics, design engineering projects in mechanical, biomedical or civil engineering, etc. Our range of activities will satisfy every curious and adventurous mind!
Trailblazers: Grade 9-11
Trailblazers (leadership camp) will give students in grade 9 to 11 an opportunity to learn innovative engineering and technology concepts and teach them to younger campers. Involving collaborative work, students will explore topics in robotics & programming, mechanics & structures, animation & graphics, etc. The first week will be focused on engineering challenges where participants would use their knowledge acquired each day to solve problems. In the second week, participants will be paired up with University Instructors to teach younger campers about technology and engineering! This will give participants the opportunity to complete their 40 hours of volunteer work while gaining life-long skills in coaching and teaching.
Note: second week (volunteering) is automatically included (fee is only charged for first week) and can be completed in the following week or moved to another week of our camp offerings
Specialty, Co-Ed Camps
Game Design
Get ready campers! Game Design camp is the way to experience the game design process from start to finish! Projects range from character development to programming to art creation. Ready to develop skills and make your own masterpiece games? Ready for the ultimate introduction to indie game-making experience? Then Game Design camp is the camp to be at this summer!

InSTEM camps, for Indigenous Youth
Land Camp: for Indigenous Youth who have completed Grade 8-11
Indigenous peoples have always known about STEM (Science, Technology, engineering and Math)! Join Virtual Ventures at Akwesasne First Nations* for 12 days of land based learning and STEM content! Activities will be led by knowledge keepers, local community members and our instructors. Plus, campers will gain a high school credit for their participation! *transportation will be provided
Engineering Camps
Dust off your lab coat and get on your safety goggles, because this week is full of experiments and excitement! Join us for Engineering camp, a week entirely off-computers filled with hands-on engineering challenges, exciting demonstrations, and captivating experiments. We offer this camp for multiple grade ranges: Eng JK-SK, Eng 1-2, Eng 3-4, Eng 5-6, Eng 7-8.
Girls Camps
STEM Girls
The STEM Girls program offers a fun and interactive way for young girls to learn about and enjoy engineering and technology. They learn about graphic design, websites, and programming and participate in exciting engineering challenges and science experiments, while gaining confidence and leadership skills. This program fosters female involvement in science, technology and engineering! Mentors and role models play an important role in showing girls their true potentials. Campers will be with other girls their age, making it easier to make friends and have a great time at camp.
