A safe, healthy and engaging campus has always been Ontario Tech University’s No. 1 priority. That’s why we’ve taken a conservative approach to allowing in-person activities on campus during COVID-19.
In line with this approach, the university's Continuous Learning Department offered enriching learning experiences for children and youth through the virtual delivery of 2021 and 2022 camp programs. These camps were offered in shorter (up to two-hour), live sessions to encourage active participation.
Ontario Tech's Camps Team was especially excited to welcome campers back to campus for in-person summer camps in 2022. Facilitated by qualified teachers, teacher candidates, Engineering Outreach Coordinators, and university members, our in-person camps engaged campers and provided opportunities to connect with peers, learn, and have fun! Both in-person and virtual 2022 Summer Camp programing and activities were available.
The university looks forward to continuing its Child & Youth Camps programming, offering engaging educational camp programs to children and youth within Durham Region and the GTA.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Please direct questions to: [email protected]

Hello Campers & Camper Families!
Ontario Tech University offers a variety of spring and summer camp activities to engage campers in education-based programming, focused on and aligned with the Ontario primary and secondary curriculum. Our camps team aims to offer campers an inspirational camp experience, that combines academics with fun and creativity!
Whether your camper is attending an in-person or virtual camp program, they’ll be engaged in academics through hands-on, inquiry-based activities that inspire campers in a meaningful and fun way, as they build lifelong learning skills. With a variety of camp topics available, like STEM, coding, and gaming to name a few, Ontario Tech campers can explore topics relevant to their interests and to the world around them!
Ontario Tech camp programs are staffed by new and returning Ontario Tech community members, including teacher candidates in the Faculty of Education program, Engineering Outreach instructors, university students, and Ontario Certified Teachers (OCT). Camp sessions, both in-person and virtual, are designed to ensure campers have an interactive camp experience, with low camper to counsellor ratios, so that camp staff can work closely with individual groups, especially during programs offered for younger campers.
We were especially excited to welcome campers back to campus in 2022 for in-person camps and we look forward to our upcoming spring and summer camp programming. Be sure to check our Camps (Children & Youth) website for the most up-to-date camp program listings - and to get to know us better! Whether it’s for an in-person or virtual camp program, we are excited to have your child(ren) join us!
Sincerely,
The Ontario Tech University Camps Team

Both of my children attended a coding camp and enjoyed it immensely. They both wanted to take the next coding course to learn more.
Our two campers made a few friends in Minecraft camp and wished to continue those friendships beyond the camp. I appreciated the fact that they were exposed to a higher-level learning institution and how to conduct themselves in such an environment.
Hi, I wanted to send an email to let you know what a great experience the "Now That's Cool" camp was yesterday for Bayley. She had a great time, and more importantly, the message of bringing young girls and technology together in a space that's fun and informative serves to showcase that girls are more than capable to enter into the sciences and into information technology. If you have any other day camps at UOIT that you would recommend for 11 year old girls, let me know. Thanks in advance
I wanted to share my impressions of the summer camp; 3 of my grandkids just completed their turn. All three loved it, enjoyed and will do it again. Please extend our thanks to the LEGO instructors and STEAM instructors. The kids were very happy. Thank you
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Brian, Samantha and Leanna for the great Minecraft Camp they ran last week. My son had lots of fun and learned many new tricks. In addition, Brian offered to use his USB to save our son's work until I could get to UOIT this week with one of our own. Today, I dropped off a USB to Brendon who heard my story and promised he would find Brian and get him working on transferring Jacob's Minecraft projects. Shortly afterwards I had a phone call from Brendon telling me the USB was ready for pick up. Your staff went out of their way to help in this situation. You trained them well! Jacob is very happy to have his hard work at home!. We will be back in August! (and probably next year too!)
