Kinder Creators
(SK – Grade 1)
In Kinder Creators, we use engaging experiments to spark exploration and interest in important scientific topics. Topics are age-appropriate and based off of the Grade 1 Ontario Science Curriculum, so campers can learn while having fun! We focus on connecting science to the real world by learning about living things, energy, seasons, planets, the environment, materials, and structures. We strive to teach the WHY behind the WHAT. With hands-on activities, these young, creative minds will thrive. Our instructors develop an A, B, and C week of Kinder Creations so your camper can enjoy three weeks of camp without repeating any activities!

Junior Thinkers
(Grades 2-3)
In Junior Thinkers, we expand our thinking to connect science to real world implications. Topics are age-appropriate and based on the Grades 2 and 3 Ontario Science Curriculum, so campers can learn while having fun! Through various activities, we investigate the characteristics of animals and plants, life cycles, types of movement and simple machines, properties of solids and liquids, the water cycle, photosynthesis, strong and stable structures, balance (center of mass vs. center of gravity), and types of forces. We discuss how humans use and affect these different systems. Our instructors develop an A, B, and C week of Junior Thinkers so your camper can enjoy three weeks of camp without repeating any activities!

Engineering Science & Tech Camp
(Grades 4-8)
In Engineering Science & Tech Camp, we use the engineering design cycle and hypothesis testing to deeply understand scientific topics. Topics are age-appropriate and based off of the Grades 4 – 8 Ontario Science Curriculum so campers can learn while having fun! We cover the main branches of science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Technology. Your camper could learn about anything from habitats, biodiversity, human organ systems, cells — to — light and sound, atoms, changes in matter, flight, and electricity. Our instructors develop an A and B week of Engineering Science & Tech Camp so your camper can enjoy two weeks of camp without repeating any activities!

Girls Quest Camp
(Grades 4-8)
Calling all aspiring female scientists in grades 4-8! Dive into the wonders of science with our revamped summer camp designed exclusively for girls. Explore a new realm of science every week as we embark on an exciting journey of discovery! From biology to chemistry to physics and more, each session promises captivating experiments and hands-on learning experiences. Engage with inspiring female mentors from Queen’s University throughout the week! Our activities are crafted and led by talented female students, offering you a unique opportunity to learn from the best. Immerse yourself in thought-provoking talks and workshops led by female researchers, design teams, and science clubs at Queen’s University. Get ready to be inspired by their stories and insights. Join us this summer for an empowering adventure of exploration, learning, and fun at Girls’ Quest!

Robotics Camp
(Grades 4-8)
Novice: Grades 4-5
Senior: Grades 6-8
Robotics Camp allows kids to learn everything they would ever want to know about the world of robots! Campers will learn all about the coding, building, and energy required for a robot to work. Working with Science Quest’s variety of robots such as Jade robots, Lego Mindstorms, Spheros, Ozobots, MicroBits, and our EV3s, campers have the chance to explore how robots work. Our instructors develop an A and B week of Robotics Camp so your camper can enjoy more than one week without repeating any activities!
