Location
Camps will be held at Sheridan College – Hazel McCallion Campus in the A Wing across from Square One Mall. The address there is 4180 Duke of York Blvd. in Mississauga. For the week of August 26-30 we will be in the building furthest from Rathburn Rd.
Drop Off Procedure: Please park in the back of the school (A Wing) in the parking lot off of Living Arts Dr. (The A-Wing is the building furthest from Rathburn Rd.). Enter by the back door. Check-in will be right there upon entering the back doors. Look for a counselor in a red t-shirt with our logo on it. If you are arriving after 9:00 am then bring your child/children up to the 4th floor to room A-464. If you are arriving after 9:00 am and are going upstairs to the classroom you may want to put a quarter in the parking meter (or credit card) and get a parking pass for 15 minutes so you don’t get ticketed.
Pick Up Procedure: If you are picking up at 4:00 pm then your child/children will be brought down to the same area as at drop off (on the ground floor by the back doors). If you have signed up for after care then you will go up to classroom A-464 to pick up. If you are going upstairs to the classroom you may want to put a quarter in the parking meter (or credit card) and get a parking pass for 15 minutes so you don’t get ticketed. Remember to bring photo id. Once we start to know you we will not ask for photo id.

On Tuesdays campers will prepare a lunch on site. They must bring a lunch on Thursdays as we are away on full day outings. On Fridays they will receive the pizza lunch and therefore will not be cooking anything that day.

Science Theme: Kids will engage in learning experiences that make science come to life. Some of the topics/models include a science rover, robust structures (earthquake), a frog’s metamorphosis, plants & pollinators, drop & rescue helicopter and flooding prevention (dam).
City Bots Theme: Engineers of the future will build robots that lead to the growth of our cities. Models include building a crane, a monorail, a lift, a motorcycle, a helicopter, a race car, auto show cars, trucks and even an x-wing starfighter.
Dino Park Theme: Kids will take a journey into the prehistoric world of dinosaurs. Models include a stegosaurus, a triceratop, a pteranodon, a t-rex and many more.
Lego Robotics (Ages 9 to 13)
Using Lego Mindstorms EV-3, kids will build various robots using different sensors (gyro, ultrasonic, color & touch) and will learn to program these robots to move, turn & make sounds. They will learn to interprete the sensors feedback to make it perform certain tasks.
They can also take part in a space challenge which consists of 7 missions that were co-developed with space experts. Students will explore and create innovative solutions to current space exploration topics.
MakeBlock Robotics (Ages 9 to 13)
Camper’s will build robots using Makeblock kits which consists of aluminum parts, a powerful MegaPi mainboard, motors and a range of sensors. Once the robot is complete campers will learn to program the robot using block-based programming. Campers will develop their logical thinking and design skills.
Coding with Scratch (Ages 9 to 13)
Campers will learn how to use the Scratch platform to code fun games such as Asteroids, Flappy Birds, Crossy Roads, Rock Blaster, Ping Pong, Treasure Island and many more. Campers can choose from our extensive library of games that will grow their coding skills starting from beginner to advanced.
