Learning never stops at Académie de la Capitale, even if our facilities are closed to the public! As you all know, every summer, we open our doors to everyone by offering 2 different summer day camps: a S.T.E.A.M. camp for ages 4-9 and a coding & robotics for children in grades 3 and up. This summer will be very different.
Although we have had to close our school facilities in mid-March of 2020, our students’ learning continued virtually through our telelearning initiatives. We will be using this approach for our summer camps. As with our telelearning at school, camp learning will be in real-time. Counsellors and campers interact via Google Meet during the scheduled activity blocks, with guided hands-on and virtual activities. We will engage campers in virtual jiu-jitsu once a week.
The virtual camps operate from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, Monday to Friday (except on holidays), with snack/lunch and body breaks in between.
We are keeping a close eye on Ontario provincial announcements. We will notify parents if and when we are able to hold in-person camps. A list will be managed for those who would like to be part of the in-person camps when they open.
2020 VIRTUAL ACADECAMP
AcadeCamp is an innovative, science-themed summer programme allowing campers ages 4-9 to experiment, ask questions, and get messy, tout en français. Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture/Arts and Math (STEAM) demand inquiry, connection, experimentation, and exploration.
Each week, the Friday Afternoon Project Showcase challenges AcadeCampers to find an innovative way to summarize and present what they have learned in STEAM.
The theme this year is “Careers in STEAM”.
For more information about the weekly themes, please download the registration form. It is recommended that parents read through AcadeCamp’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to learn more about how the camp will be delivered and the daily schedule.

2020 VIRTUAL ACADECODERS
Acadecoders is a coding and robotics camp focused on introducing campers to various technological disciplines while also ensuring they enjoy physical activities such as jiu-jitsu classes. There will be a total of 8 weeks. For the Virtual AcadeCoders, some weeks will be offered with a choice of 2 programming languages: Processing or Python. There will also be a weeks on 3D modeling, Game Design, as well as the Raspberry Pi.
Our curriculum is developed by the AcadeCap STEAM team, and each day will involve learning new concepts, working on projects, and outdoor activity for a well-balanced camp experience.
