I loved all  of the cool activities and Harry Potter swag that we got to keep, especially the Time-Turner.

Thanks for a great experience for all of us

My daughter attended your Port Credit Harry Potter camp from July 2-5th and she absolutely loved it! The counselors in the Harry Potter section were excellent and kept her engaged, busy and excited the whole week.  She definitely wants to go again next summer. I will also say that the people you had at s the people you had at sign in and check out were very good as well – everyday they were friendly and organized.

Thanks for a great experience for all of us – I would highly recommend this camp program.

Attended for a few years

Over the last few years, my sons, now aged 10 and 7, have attended Brickworks camps every summer - both in person and online. They’ve been part of a great camp environment that focuses on creativity and problem-solving while having fun and learning something new. As a parent, I’ve found the administrative team very responsive and responsible. Highly recommend signing up for a fun camp experience!

The Girls Loved Harry Potter camp.

I wanted to thank you again for allowing Adele to attend the Harry Potter camp.  The girls really loved it!  They were so excited to show off the magic tricks, and of course loved the wands as well.  What a unique and fantastic idea for summer camp fun!

Thanks again,
And have a great day,
Diana

Loved Virtual Camps

Hello I just wanted to write you personally to commend your team on such a great job with these virtual camps. My son Jaxon signed up and took both the Digital storyteller and the Digital music producer courses. He absolutely loved them, showed me his work and everything he learned! He was the lowest age fo the lowest age for the range, so I was a bit nervous, but the instructors kept his attention the entire hour.  Personally, I feel like you need a course to show parents how to hold their own kid's attention that long, because it's never worked for me! :)

In all seriousness, these were great.  So professionally done, incredibly well organized and well thought out. Tyler even had extra office hours for the group, which was so generous and great for the kids.  Both instructors were patient with any technical problems, or when kids got excited to share stories. It was a perfect mix of making them feel heard, and encouraged while still bringing it back to the topic.

He's been asking me to keep signing up for more (I just registered him for the app course now!). I love that these online virtual camps have inspired him, taught him new things  and have made him love learning - especially with the world going all crazy these days.

Thank you and your team for offering such a great quality, top notch service for our community.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our feelings by creating music.
And for meeting your cat in the process :)

OUR KIDS review of Brick Works Academy

our take

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.
