The Our Kids review of Sylvan Learning Guelph

Sylvan Learning Centres were founded in 1979, and the company has grown to include locations throughout North America. Sylvan’s reputation has grown as well, principally through the visibility of the locations and their association with effective academic tutoring. Still, there is more to Sylvan than perhaps most people may know, and the seasonal camps and programs are included in that. Yes, the focus can look somewhat academic at first glance—engineering, STEM, robotics, coding—though the feel of the camps is less formal, less academic, and more geared to gather children around topics and activities that they are passionate about, in addition to having fun. They will learn a lot, no doubt, though often the empowerment that the camps can bring is, for many families and kids, their principal value, and the thing that keeps them coming back year after year.

• November 1st PA Day camp

  We had a very successful day with lots of cheery faces!

  With the help of the Tynker Application on the iPads, we learned some basic coding!

  We used K'nex to build some really cool bridges AND we connected them together to make a super-bridge!

  We used glue, baking soda and Contact lens solution to make some ooey gooey slime then put colouring, glitter and fin shapes in it to make it even more fun!

  When the pizza arrived, everyone had rumbly timmies ready to devour 2 whole pizzas!

  Then the coolest thing of all; we built robots out of LEGOs! there were some drills, some spinning tops and a bunch of other things we built! 

  After all of the excitement we were getting tired to we relaxed with the last of our snacks and Disney's Wall-E right before you all came to get us!
