Our Thoughts on Camp Program Development

Our Summer Camps are for children ages 4 to 14, the child must turn 5 by the end of the calendar year because of licensing. In 2025 our Summer Camp ran under the banner of Young Engineers Waterloo. In order to expand our programs and provide an even more integrated learning experience we have transitioned into the non-for-profit, Waterloo STEAM Academy.

Our Camp is located at 330 Conservation Drive, which is near Laurel Creek Conservation Area. We are open to all children in the Kitchener-Waterloo area including, but not limited to Conestogo, St. Jacobs, Heidelberg and St. Clements.

For parents who travel for work, research or family visits we welcome you! We enjoy welcoming our visiting campers from other countries. In 2025 we had visiting campers from Germany, USA, England, Netherlands and South Africa.

Waterloo STEAM Academy's camps are fun engaging co-curricular camps. The programs are STEM based, more specifically STEAM based. This means we integrate science, technology, engineering, art and math in the summer camp experience. It is hands-on and experiential based learning. It is designed to introduce children to concepts and ideas while allowing them to insert their own creative input into the summer camp experience.

Waterloo STEAM Academy believes in building schematic knowledge. Our summer camps are built with that same intent. We create associative and adaptable knowledge frameworks through our interdisciplinary programs to prepare children for formal education and their own personal pursuits in STEM.
