New Horizons is a four-day camp for students in Grades 6-8 who want to explore a wide range of STEM fields and discover where their interests lie. This camp brings together hands-on experiences from several of our specialized 6-8 programs, offering a deeper look at how science, technology, and engineering connect in real-world applications.

Through experiments, design challenges, and tech-based projects, campers will explore chemistry concepts, engineering problem-solving, and creative digital design while developing critical thinking and collaboration skills. This camp will include one day in the computer lab, providing a taste of what our Game Design camp covers.
Expect to see: Coding and game design activities using beginner-friendly software, hands-on chemistry experiments and investigations, engineering design challenges focused on testing and iteration, and the opportunity to experience multiple STEM pathways in one camp!
New Horizons is for youth entering Grades 6, 7, & 8 in September 2026.

Camp will take place Tuesday-Friday from 9 AM-4 PM. This summer we are offering Extended Care (optional, for an additional flat fee) in which campers can be dropped off starting at 8:10 AM and picked up any time between 4-4:50 PM. You can opt into Extended Care upon registering a camper for a given camp week. Please note that campers in Grade 6 or higher are permitted to be designated for “Self Sign-Out” of themselves and younger siblings. For more information, please visit our website (www.uoguelph.ca/creative-encounters/).
Please do not hesitate to email us at cse@uoguelph.ca if you have any questions and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We are looking forward to another amazing summer of in-person STEM camps!
