Frequently Ask Questions
Why are Sessions 2 weeks long?
A two-week session gives campers the time they need to truly settle in, build meaningful connections with both staff and peers, and fully engage with activities. With more time, they can practice new skills, build confidence, and see real improvement—leading to stronger outcomes and a more rewarding overall experience.
Our two-week format is designed to foster deeper engagement, stronger skill development, and happier, more connected campers.
We also understand that summer can be a busy time for families. For added flexibility, we offer half sessions in the form of one-week camps. Please contact us for more information on our single-week options.
Do you use tablets or laptops?
Our camp is hands-on first. Campers spend the day building, testing, designing, and creating with real materials. Screens are used minimally and purposefully when needed for a specific activity — not as the main way kids spend the day.
How do you keep kids safe while they build and make?
Safety is built into the program: a 1:4 staff ratio, clear routines, age-appropriate materials, and close supervision at every step.
Do campers need to be potty trained?
Yes — campers must be able to use the washroom independently so the day can run smoothly and stay focused on hands-on projects.
My child is advanced for their age — will they be challenged?
Yes. Many projects are “open-ended,” meaning one child may build a simple version while another adds extra features. We support different skill levels while keeping groups socially aligned by birth year.
