Camp STEAM: Minecraft, Mission to Mars | Aug 17-21

During Camp STEAM's Minecraft Mission to Mars themed weeks, campers will explore the Red Planet! Mission to Mars transports campers far beyond Earth as they take on the role of space engineers, habitat designers, planetary scientists, and explorers preparing humanity’s first sustainable colony on Mars. Through Minecraft Education, hands-on engineering builds, 3D printing, and micro:bit technology, campers work through real challenges inspired by NASA and future Mars mission planning. Together we’ll prototype rovers, build habitats, engineer water-purification systems, test terrain models, experiment with energy sources, and create digital colony worlds that match campers’ physical builds.

Every activity supports the same exciting goal: building a functioning Mars colony!

Why Camp Steam Canada?

At school, how often do kids get to just sit and think? To invent? To create? To dream, and to discover what moves them and drives them?

At Camp STEAM Canada, campers have fun at our day camp while learning with activities in science, technology, engineering, the arts and math, but we’re about so much more than that!

Campers learn lifelong skills about ways to approach problems and create solutions by exploring different approaches from all STEAM areas to a particular activity or task. Instead of doing something how they were told, they have an opportunity to explore how THEY think it should (it could!) be done. Read more here. 

Through fun activities, Camp STEAM campers will explore new:

Mindsets:  Explore different problem solving perspectives from each STEAM area.
Skillsets:  Learn practical skills in areas like coding, animation, design and more.
Toolsets: Have fun with robotics, 3D printers, and try other physical and digital tools.

2026 Summer Camp Themes

Every week of Camp STEAM features fun and educational projects, wrapped in that week’s theme. There are 4 themes with unique programming that each run twice throughout the summer. If campers join us for multiple weeks, or progress through projects more quickly, we have challenges and projects that continue to build from wherever they are, ensuring no matter what level a camper is at, we meet them there to start their journey!  Our 2026 summer camp themes and dates are:

Minecraft: Space Expedition | July 6-10 & Aug 4-7
LEGO: Theme Park Fun | July 13-17 & Aug 10-14
