Mini Makers Camps

Grades 1-2

Mini Makers introduces kids to our core technology topics: Coding, Robotics, and Minecraft. Your child will get to work on a variety of projects each day in small groups. They will design their own video game, create robotic inventions, explore the 3D design world of Minecraft, and do STEM experimentation. Each day your child will build on the skills they’ve learned, leaving with transferable technical and social skills.

The daily cross-discipline exposure focuses on valuable skills and allows kids to see progress as their abilities grow. Their projects tie back to this theme to reinforce the importance of interconnectivity in technology.

Idea Incubator STEM Camps

Grades 3-8

In our Idea Incubator STEM Camps, kids will dive into our three core STEM topics: Coding, Robotics and Minecraft.

If you’re looking for inspiring STEM education, this is the right place! In each camp, kids make something awesome, create their own projects and collaborate with others. Build leadership skills, meet other kids who are makers, make your own project, and more.

Coding Camps

Grades 3-8

Coding is an important language to learn. With the demand for STEM workers increasing, learning coding from an early age is a sure way to gain an advantage in today’s competitive career world. Kids code games, websites and more. They learn how computers work, exercise creativity, and build resilience and perseverance when trouble-shooting their code.

Kids will learn everything they need to know to code their very own game: character development, storyboarding, animation, environment and level design, beta testing and, of course, coding.

Robotics Camps

Grades 3-8

Design the world around you! In our Robotics programs, kids design, plan, program, and build electronic inventions while using a robotics microcontroller and learning how to code. Kids better understand how everyday objects around them work and have the opportunity to bring their ideas to life. Kids make creations that they previously only dreamed of. Make lights light up, motors spin, and code a ‘robot brain’ to make something awesome. Kids see the results of their code before their eyes. They realize that they can make things that others can use. Past projects: nightlights, motion-activated alarms, rovers, and more.

3D Printing Camps

Grades 3-8

3D Printing camps are offered as a subsection of other camps and is most often offered as a part of Robotics or Coding Camps. Camps with 3D Printing will include 3D Printing in the name of the camp.

Kids learn how 3D printing can be used in the design of their creations and model their own creations to 3D print on site! Kids make creations that they previously only dreamed of. Kids see the results of their code before their eyes. They realize that they can make things that others can use.

At the end of the week students get to take home a 3D printed creation! (Non Electronic creation. NO Electronics included.)

What Does A MakerKids Camp Day Look Like?

Each day, kids can expect a series of fun STEM activities, balanced out with plenty of off-screen fun!

Each day we aim to complete 3-4 fun and educational STEM projects, based on the theme and topic of your selected camp! Throughout the day kids will have two screen free snack breaks and a longer lunch break + park trip to avoid eye strain and meet their daily physical activity needs.

At the end of each camp day, parents are welcome to come and check out what their child did that day!

Full day camps run from 9am to 3:30pm, with before care options from 8am to 9am and aftercare options from 3:30pm to 5pm.

Single day and week long camps are available depending on the season

We offer camps for kids from Grade 1 to Grade 8, determined by the grade your child is entering in the fall. Our camps are open to grades 1-8, with kids separated into groups based on grades 1-2, 3-5 and 6-8.

MakerKids allows students to register for camps when they are going into an eligible grade in the fall. We recommend that students be learning at grade level to ensure they have the best experience

Our Grade 1-2 & 3-8 camps are suitable for students with no prior technical experience, however if you are enrolling your child based on the grade they are entering this fall, previous experience with technology and computers is beneficial.

SK Going into Grade 1: SK students going into grade 1 in the fall are eligible for Grade 1-2 level camps. Students do not need prior computer or coding experience for these camps.

Grade 2 going into Grade 3: Grade 2 students going into grade 3 are eligible for grade 3-8 level camps. To give them the best experience, computer experience and basic reading and spelling ability is recommended. We suggest kids try our Grade 1-2 camp if they are new to using a computer.  Students do not need prior coding experience for these camps.

Grade 4 going into Grade 5: Grade 4 students going into grade 5 do not need prior experience with the camp topic (ie, modding/UE) to register for these camps, however, past technical experience is required as these camps are considered advanced. If your child has little/no prior experience with technology, we strongly recommend grade 3-8 level camps as they are more suitable for learning foundational technology skills.

We do not provide food. Please send a nut-free lunch and snacks.

If you are interested in a camp provided lunch add-on, please email [email protected] to let us know of your support for this potential future offering.

Nope! We have everything we need on site!

No previous experience is required for most of our classes – just a desire to make things! Our instructors will show your kids how to use any programs or materials safely, and foster lifetime skills with technology. Kids with more advanced knowledge will be provided with more advanced instruction.
