Registration & Pricing

Q: How do I register my child for summer camp?
Click "Registration" in the menu, create a free account, and select the camp week(s) you'd like. You'll see available dates, times, and location. Registration is confirmed once payment is complete. It takes less than 5 minutes.

Q: How much does summer camp cost?
Summer Camp is $472 per week. This includes all materials, LEGO and robotics kits, instruction by certified professionals, and a maximum group size of 6 students. There are no hidden fees — everything your child needs is provided.

Q: Can I register for multiple weeks?
Yes. Many families register for 2–3 weeks. Each week is a standalone experience with different builds and challenges, so your child won't repeat content.

Q: What is your cancellation/refund policy?
Please contact us at torontoeastend@youngengineers.org for details on cancellations and refunds. We understand plans change and will work with you.

Camp Details & Schedule

Q: What does a typical day at camp look like?

Q: What ages is summer camp for?
Summer camp is designed for children ages 5 and up. Programs are adapted so every child is appropriately challenged, whether they're brand new to engineering or have attended before.

Q: Where is camp held?
All summer camp sessions take place at Ralph Thornton Community Centre in Leslieville, Toronto East End. The centre is easily accessible for families from Riverdale, The Beaches, East York, and Danforth Village.

Q: What will my child actually learn?
Every day includes real engineering, robotics, and coding — not just worksheets or screens. Children learn to break down problems, build working models, debug their designs, and present their work to peers. They walk away with critical thinking skills, resilience, and genuine confidence.

Safety & Logistics

Q: What is the instructor-to-student ratio?
We maintain a strict 1:6 instructor-to-student ratio. This ensures every child receives individual attention, guidance, and support throughout the day.

Q: Does my child need to bring lunch?
Yes, please send your child with a packed lunch, a water bottle, and a snack. We are a nut-free environment. All STEM materials and supplies are provided by us.

Q: Who are the instructors?
Our workshops are led by industry professionals with backgrounds in engineering, technology, and education. All instructors are trained in the Young Engineers methodology, which is officially recognized by Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Q: Is this right for my child if they've never done robotics or coding before?
Absolutely. Most of our students start with zero experience. Our programs are designed to meet children where they are — beginners discover the joy of building, while experienced kids are challenged with more complex projects. The small group size means no one falls behind.
