AFTER SCHOOL ACADEMIC PROGRAM (ASAP)
ASAP provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to promote life-long learning, develop core competencies, and connects elementary school children with mentors. Along with gaining academics skills, our students develop self-confidence and motivation.
YOUNG ENGINEERS PROGRAM (YEP)
YEP introduces students to science and technology careers through a design challenge, pairing them with university students and industry professionals. The program focuses on hands-on learning, teamwork, and mentorship, benefitting our students by providing role models and guidance in technology careers.
SUMMER of LEARNING (SOL) PROGRAM
Our program emphasize literacy, the arts, and STEM. Our use of art directly connects to literacy, by bringing characters from books they read at camp to life through clay, drawing or painting. This pedagogy helps improve reading comprehension while providing opportunities for artistic expression and creativity. As well, our camps continue to promote literacy among English Language Learners.
