One way to keep the summer slide at bay is to enrol your kids in a summer camp that will challenge them and keep them learning all summer long! STEM camps, sometimes called STEAM camps, are the perfect outlet for kids who love to build, create and experiment.
Summer is also a great opportunity to learn a new language or to brush up on a school subject. If you’re looking for educational or enrichment camps, in the Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville areas this list will be your new best friend.
Included in this list are all STEAM/STEM camps in Oakville, Milton, Burlington, Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Ancaster and Dundas. Also included are language and learning camps for the Halton and Hamilton regions.
Did You Know? Our list is the best because it’s the biggest! You don’t need to pay to be in our camps guide, either. If you are hosting a summer camp and you are not in our guide, click here to be added.

At our centre, kids learn to code while building their own video games. They gain problem-solving, critical thinking, and STEM skills in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment. Kids learn to code through our engaging game-based curriculum that boosts self-confidence and teaches teamwork, logic, and problem-solving. They gain vital skills while having a blast. That's the Code Ninjas way!
STEM and robotic projects are full of hands-on fun in our camps. Campers will participate and work on science and robotic projects alternately in the morning and afternoon. Our camp programming is balanced with daily team activities, STEM projects and outdoor break times. Nutritious lunch is provided by Fortinos in its eating area. Afternoon fruits and snacks are also provided for the busy bodies and minds.
Camp Laureate is located on 50 acres, in the shadows of the Niagara Escarpment. The Camp Directors have taken their passion for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and paired it with a traditional camp experience.
At Camp STEAM Canada, campers have fun at our day camp while learning with activities in science, technology, engineering, the arts and math, but we’re about so much more than that!
Gemslearning Institute encourages the development of students’ proficiency in computer programming and prepares them for higher computer learning. It introduces students to the exciting but challenging world of computers.
Our camps give your child the opportunity to become a scientist for the day through hands-on experiments and activities that allow them to think about the world through a new lens!
