What does a typical day at Summer Camp look like?
Monday is all about settling in! Campers meet the guides, cover safety, and learn the ropes for a fun, responsible makerspace experience.
The rest of the week goes something like this...
- Morning Warm-Up: Icebreakers, brain teasers, and easy tasks to get our minds ready
- Mid-Morning: Brainstorming, designing, and planning big ideas
- Snack Break
- Creative Time: Hands-on building in the woodshop, digital lab, or textiles area
- Lunch Break
- Afternoon Check-In: Quick roundtable to share progress
- More Creative Time: Back to work on projects
- End of Day Clean-Up: Organize desks, tidy up, and put tools away
- Pickup at 4pm: Campers go home with stories and smiles!
Lunch Break: Weather permitting we head outside for some fresh air and fun eat our lunch. After lunch we jump right back into making progress on the week's project.
Free Build: In the final working hour from Monday to Thursday, we switch gears for free-build time. This is when campers can let their creativity run wild, working on anything they choose that's outside the scope of the weekly theme.
Why Parents Look Forward to Our Camps
❝ Our son recently attended a school vacation mini camp. At the end of the week, he surprised me with a standing desk for my office. He was so proud of his accomplishment. And I was floored. Thank you BitSpace for encouraging my son to be creative, develop a plan, get dirty and build something cool. ❞
—Marissa, parent
❝ After day one Julie told my husband and I she couldn't wait to get back to the camp the next day. That never happens in our house! She built a skateboard. It started with the design concept, built a mold and then used power tools and muscle to finish the board. She has continued to practice how to use a skateboard and has been recording her progress! Thank you BitSpace for building confidence in a girl in what might be regarded as a boys interest. Super cool and fun. ❞
—Eileen, proud Mum of Julie age 9
⚠️ Updated Safety Guidelines
To make camp both fun AND safe for everyone, we've updated our health and safety practices:
- Masking During Specific Activities
While we've relaxed general mask requirements, masks will be used during high sawdust activities for additional safety. They also help protect campers from airborne particles and dust in the workshop. - Health Monitoring
If your child has a cough or cold symptoms, they will be asked to wear a mask at camp for the safety of all participants. In the event of visible illness symptoms at camp, parents will be expected to pick up their child. - No Vaccination Proof Required
We no longer require proof of vaccination for participation. However, we encourage everyone to follow the latest health guidance to ensure the well-being of all campers and staff.
