Summer camps 2021
Our week-long camps are a great opportunity for kids ages 6-12* to learn fantastic STEM concepts, build, experiment and investigate! And have lots of fun while learning!
At this time, we are offering two streams of week long camps, with choices for younger and older children, and one stream of individual day camps. To keep everyone safe, we have small camp sizes and ensured our programs are delivered in a safe way. Please note: we are implementing a mandatory mask-wearing policy for any indoor time, for all ages.
We have some awesome new themes, and have added to our LEGO inventory! Each camp will include plenty of outdoor time and increased recreation.
5-Day camps are priced at $300 per week (taxes waived).
4-Day camps are priced at $240 per week (taxes waived).
Individual day camps are priced at $65 per day (taxes waived)
All camps run from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
Week long camps will be located at Island ConnectEd School and individual day camps at our Country Club location.
A limited number of “Stay and Play” spots are available for week long camps from 3:00 – 5:00 PM times daily (separate pre-registration required).
