As the school year comes to an end you may think, “Why should I send my kid to camp?”, but then you realize why it can change your child’s life. Camp is where your kids can build relationships with others, build team working skills, learn things that you should know in the adult world, but in a kid-friendly environment. Not all camps are the same, but that’s what makes each individual camp unique. The following are 5 quite popular camps in the GTA.
The Ontario Science Centre provides specialized summer day camps, from ages 5-12. The camps focus on either engineering, biology or myth-busting (13-14). Engineering and biology camps test the campers’ knowledge, encouraging the building of teamwork skills and critical thinking. The myth-busting camp gives campers the opportunity to choose a myth, perform experiments, and even design a display prototype to present their findings.
