Programs, Rates & Dates
Programs and Sessions Calendar
Brick Works Academy differentiates itself by providing students with access to an exceptional range of technology throughout their camp experience. All camps are not created equal, we go above and beyond. Our camp themes are offered across multiple weeks, allowing families greater flexibility to fit camps into their summer schedules. We also place a strong emphasis on hiring mature university and college students, ensuring our programs are led by adult staff rather than younger high school students, which supports a safe, structured, and high-quality learning environment.
Brick Works Academy currently has 9 programs available.

Registration Details
Camp applications open in early January, and families are encouraged to apply early, as some of our most popular themes and weeks sell out within the first day. To give families more flexibility, many of our camp themes are offered across multiple weeks throughout the summer. This allows families to choose dates that best fit their schedules while still accessing the programs they’re most interested in. With some flexibility, it’s often possible to find a suitable camp well into early summer. Applications close on the Thursday prior to the start of each camp week, and families may register for one or multiple weeks, depending on their needs.

OUR KIDS review of Brick Works Academy
Not all camps are the same, but they all intend to do the same thing: to allow campers to learn about themselves, gain a sense of their talents, grow into a set of shared values, and then broadcast all of that to the world. David Goodfellow established Brick Works with precisely that in mind. While people normally think about summer camp as soccer balls in a park, or making pottery, he was aware that there is a huge group of children that want to learn with tech or socialize with others who share their passion and interests. That remains the core of the Brick Works offering. Kids are drawn by their interests in in subjects like Pokemon, Minecraft, or Harry Potter, and enter a community that shares those interests, and interacts with them in the same way. But that’s just the starting point. The camps allow them to grow together, work together, and exercise their minds around some shared projects. The success of the program is evident in its popularity with families, and its growth, now with multiple locations throughout southern Ontario.

Director's Message
At Brick Works Academy we want all our students to be successfull and to have fun.
I founded Brick Works Academy out of a need for my own daughter to have a safe, fun location to learn and explore technology and lego robotics over the summer. By bringing together certified teachers, ECEs and technology minded university students we were able to assemble a team with a well rounded skill set where students and teachers can learn and play together. Adding in truck loads of lego, computers, and games was the final ingredient to create the region's leading technology summer camp where students are rushing out of their homes in the morning to go to camp and begging their parents to stay at the end of the day.
We have been entertaining and educating students for over 8 years and have attracted students from around the world. Last summer the response was overwhelmingly positive with parents and students asking us to develop new exciting camps to offer this summer. I hope you find one or more of our camps that fit your interests and we will see you this summer.
