About our camps

Ontario Tech University’s 2025 Summer Camps program provides fun, hands-on opportunities for your camper to learn and explore their curiosity in a positive and safe educational environment. 

Our mission is to inspire kids to see STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) everywhere in the world around them.  Hands-on activities and curriculum-based learning in robotics, coding, gaming, and much more, provide an experience that is both educational and fun.  We succeed when our campers leave camp thinking that STEM is exciting and within their reach – that it could be part of their future.

Our camp counsellor to camper ratios allow for interactivity, active engagement, and support for activities. Many of our in-person camps include daily cooperative outdoor activities.

What people are saying...

My son said he had an amazing week. He said the counsellors were very nice and super fun. He's already talking about coming back next summer.

My camper came home every day excited to talk about what fun they had. They enjoyed building and experimenting and interacting with new campers.

My 12-yr old daughter loved the STEAM Girls camp . . . and asked me to go back again next year. She said it was a great mix of everything!

My 10-yr old son did a LEGO® coding camp and he has been coding at home, building things, and is using his skills all the time.

My kids absolutely LOVED the program. They enjoyed their experience here more than any other camp and have requested for more next year. I am so grateful to the University for allowing them the experience. They thrived this year and I cannot wait for next year.

2023 Summer Camps

Both kids loved their experience and have asked to attend more camps next summer. The quality of the programming was excellent - camp leaders were fantastic and clearly had training and experience in program development and delivery.

2023 Summer Camps

Yet again, the camps were amazing for all three of our children. The best part was how interactive they were. It allowed our youngest, to discuss what was learned and interact with fellow campers in a meaningful discussion on the climate and environment. During the Minecraft camp, our camper was able to explore different websites that integrate with Minecraft in extraordinary ways. This was something our camper was not aware of and continues to explore today. Thank you for the amazing summer camps!

2023 Summer Camps

My camper loved camp so much and can't wait to go to Ontario Tech for university. Walking out to the parking lot on the last day, my camper was asking what programs they have, how much a parking pass is, already planning school for ten years later. My camper will be back next summer!

2023 Summer Camps

Both really enjoyed learning the tech aspects of their camps. They felt engaged and enjoyed playing outside and doing tech inside.

2023 Summer Camps

My children really enjoyed the experience. They were able to follow the directions provided, but they found room to experiment and personalize their projects which they enjoyed too.

Camper parent/guardian
2022 Summer Camps

Our child says it was great, fun and they enjoyed doing the 3D printing. Our child enjoyed making the teepees and mixing the pigments. Overall, as parents, we were very impressed with everything.
