Have you ever wondered what it would be like to explore the scientific world or find out what an architect really does? Maybe you thought it would be neat to write a book or become a real world superhero! This summer, your child will have the opportunity to explore these and other fields and discover who they want to be at Camp Eureka!
Designed specifically for ages 18 months to 6 years of age, Camp Eureka exposes children to interesting fields of study throughout the weekly themes. Exploration and learning will inspire our students to explore fields of study and discover what the future may hold for them through tangible experiences.
All lessons, field trips, and in-class visits are designed by teachers with extensive experience in early years education and experiential learning.
All classrooms are managed by qualified teachers.
Age appropriate materials within the classroom available to campers to make new discoveries about the different fields of study.
Weekly Field Trips/Workshops related to the field of studies.
This week, students will discover an athlete’s many skills and develop their athletic abilities by running, jumping, throwing, and having fun.
We will explore sports like soccer, basketball, and fitness, and end the week with an exciting day of track and field games! “Ready…play ball!”
Seeds, and plants and crops, oh, my! Horticulture is the growing and harvesting of fruits, vegetables, and plants.
Through hands on experiences, students will learn what it takes to make a garden grow and how to harvest the crops they have cared for and enjoy them as daily snacks throughout the summer program.
What is art and what makes an artist? Art engages a child’s senses and supports the development of cognitive, social emotional, and multisensory skills.
Our little Picassos will use various mediums to discover line, shape, colour, texture, and space as it pertains to artistic exploration.
Planning, preparing, and resenting; all important roles of a chef. From choosing healthy ingredients to shopping for these items and the details included in the presentation of their food creations, students will enjoy a fun week of cooking and creating!
Architecture is the process of conceiving, designing, and building. Students will discover that building with blocks or lego is not just play but has a definite process.
They will create an idea, sketch their design, plan for its construction, and complete a weeklong design project with friends.
What child doesn’t love to create mixtures with ingredients found in their environment?
When doing so, children are using their scientific inquiry skills and becoming little scientists! This week, students will ask questions, develop ideas, and observe amazing outcomes as they discover the scientific world.
What does it take to be a superhero? Bravery, courage, fortitude, empathy!
Students will learn about the many real-world superheros we encounter in our daily lives. They will discover what it takes to be a real-world superhero, try their hand at different “superpowers,” and enjoy a visit from a real-world superhero!
What better way to sum up a wonderful summer than by becoming an author and writing a book about your experiences?
The main role of an author is to compose stories to share with others. Students will learn the components of a story and share their memorable camp moments by way of the book they have written.
