Program Details

Education Camp is a great place for elementary teachers to bring their grade 6, 7 or 8 classes to develop their team building and social skills, and participate in topics like Leadership, Robotics, Media Arts, Advertising or Business, and also experience what it’s like to live on a college campus.  We provide students with hands-on experience in program areas such as Media Arts, Justice Studies,Performing Arts, Interior Design, Health Sciences, Business, and Robotics. Workshops are taught by senior Humber/Guelph-Humber students who also act as Camp Counselors leading and mentoring campers as they experience college campus living.

Students will leave CAMP CHOICE with a better understanding of the opportunities that await them after high school.

The 3-Day Residential

adventure consists of two nights accommodations in our Student Residence with a complete meal plan. Throughout the day, campers participate in a variety of informative, hands-on workshops that require thought and teamwork. Workshops are professionally designed with technology in mind. Each workshop is delivered by knowledgeable camp staff in specialized learning labs, and they all contain one common thread – fun! To round out your 3-day adventure, the program offers a variety of group activities including evening entertainment and a dance party. There are lots of opportunities to socialize and meet new friends. Just like being in college!

Our 1-Day Mini-Camp

adventure offers a mini-meal plan and a smaller sampling of interactive workshops and fun packed activities that encourage higher learning and give students a sneak peak into what college is all about.
