Who better to deliver exciting Academic & Enrichment Camps than Sylvan Learning? For over 35 years Sylvan has been the leading provider of supplemental education across North America. We have drawn on that experience locally, to design what we believe are some of the best academic camps available.

WHAT WILL MY CHILD BE DOING EACH WEEK?
Our Stealth Learning approach means that, while you will not see text books in the Sylvan camps there will be consistent use and application of essential academic skills such as math, science, technology and literacy. All of the camp modules will be age appropriate to the group and our low Teacher to Camper ratio will ensure all of the activities will be delivered in a fun and supportive individual and team format. We are happy to share our daily and weekly schedlues with you upon request.
WHAT ARE THE WEEKLY THEMES?
Children love fun themes and these will differentiate each week of camp so your child will never be bored, no matter how many weeks they attend.
Weekly Themes include: CSI Forensics, Smart Super Heroes, Brain Game Olympics, Earth & The Environment, Space Odyssey, Exploring Ancient Worlds, Myths & Mysteries, Fantastical Fiction, News & Clues.
Regardless of the specific theme, each camp includes critical areas of applied learning such use of creating thinking and logic, math and science (STEM), the examination and comparison of facts and fiction and the use of individual and team projects and challenges in an engaging and dynamic manner.
We use a wide variety of entertaining learning media which will vary from week to week. This use of media will align with our theme and will involve investigation, exploration, discussion, analyzing, measuring, building ideas, structures and theories.
Every third week there will be a camp that uses Robotics combined with interactive Lego WeDo software, which we will use to enhance our STEM learning. We will also do further ‘drag and drop’ computer coding techniques using Tynker to allow campers to learn how to build their own video games.
We are confident that if you have a curious child or one whom you know enjoys having fun in a group environment, then they will thoroughly enjoy our camp. As a parent you will also have the comfort of knowing they are having a fun and intellectually engaging summer.
