Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes at Creative Encounters? Have an interest in STEM outreach AND want to build up your resume? Instructors in Training will allow campers to explore science communication, build interpersonal skills, and have some good old camp fun all through an awesome, hands-on two week program!Instructors in Training camp is designed to be a 2-week program. Campers will spend the first 5 days (week 1) attending a day camp as a group with Instructors, activities, team bonding, and regular camp fun. The second 5 days (week 2) will then be spent shadowing STEM Instructors and CE team members who will act as mentors to the campers as they put what they have learned into action. This second week will also be counted as volunteer hours for all campers interested in earning up to 40 community hours while enjoy their time with Creative Encounters!
Instructors in Training is for youth entering grades 9 & 10 in September 2025.
Camp will take place Monday-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.creativeencounters.info).
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!
All of our camps are based out of Albert A. Thornbrough and Richards Building (Engineering Buildings on the U of G’s main campus) unless stated otherwise.
Parents/guardians will be emailed a “Pre-Camp Package” prior to camp with specific pick-up/drop-off locations and further details.
