Eureka Camp

Four campers and two counsellors  crowd around a lab bench to view an experiment. All are wearing lab coats and protective eyewear.

Description

Get your STEM fix with Eureka! This program hands-on, interactive activities that introduce campers to the exciting worlds of Science and Engineering. The weekly camp schedule features fun, innovative, and engaging exercises that inspire each camper to see about their world in a new light.

Eureka is offered in partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University's Departments of Science and Engineering. Each camp program is facilitated by Toronto Met Day Camps staff with TMU science and engineering students.

Camp days comprise an even balance of Eureka programming programming and physically active Camp games, so your camper goes home each day having nurtured both their body and brain. Camp games take place throughout the TMU gyms, studios, Quad, and a mid-week Water Day on the Quad.

Each week of Eureka is highlighted by a Science/Engineering Olympiad on the final day.

Support Science at Toronto Metropolitan University

The Faculty of Science is committed to providing Eureka camp experiences to children with financial need who would not otherwise be able to attend. A week at Eureka introduces a child to science and engineering. Campers meet new friends, learn new skills, and develop an appreciation for learning in a way that is unique to Camp.

These opportunities are not possible without the generosity of Camp families and community members. If you would like to make a donation to the Faculty of Science Eureka Summer Camp fund, please contact Professor Emily Agard at eagard@torontomu.ca.
