📍 Erin Mills

Summer at RoboThink WonderSTEM is where kids build, code, create, and have fun. Designed for kids ages 5 to 14, the STEM Robotics & Kickboxing Camp gives children a full week of hands-on robotics building, beginner-friendly coding, creative engineering challenges, and daily movement through kickboxing fitness. Each week brings a new theme (from amusement parks to safari zoos to planes and racing!), so kids can return for multiple weeks and enjoy a different experience every time. Campers build robots, solve challenges, work in small teams, and develop confidence through both STEM learning and active play. Camp runs Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, with small groups capped at 16 campers, and a free pizza lunch every Friday. No previous robotics or coding experience required.

Save on registration: Weekly Sauga readers get $5 off with code 5SAUGA, stackable with RoboThink's 10% off early bird and 10% off sibling discounts.

At most theatre camps, kids perform someone else's script. At Little Star Productions, they write their own. Over a week, performers ages 7 to 14 team up in small groups to dream up and perform their very own original short play, inventing the characters, mixing in their own music and choreography, building or scavenging their props, and raiding a costume closet stocked from past productions. By the end, they take the stage with a show that's entirely their own. The Summer Theatre Day Camp runs in weekly sessions through July, Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, at St. James United Church (400 Burnhamthorpe Road, just east of Hwy 427), for $375 plus tax per week. Registration is open now.
