Summer camps are staffed with a maximum student to instructor of 4 to 1, giving your child the advantage of personal instructor attention and a small camp size.

Summer camp sessions are limited to a maximum of only 16 students.

Students will work in pairs to build robots. Each pair of students will be provided with at minimum one VEX IQ Super Kit and one VEX IQ Competition kit , plus much more.

• Running shoes for safety and comfort (not sandals)
• A filled water bottle (labelled with participant’s name)
• Nutritious snacks and lunch (nut-free)

Please remember to label personal items for easy student identification. A lost & found box will be located at Bot Camp. Bot Camp does not assume responsibility for damages or loss to personal items. Please do not bring valuables to Bot Camp.

In most cases, Bot Camp staff are not professional nurses or doctors, and have not been trained in medicine. Students needing injections (insulin, hormones, etc.) will be required to self-administer their medication.

Visitors and parents are permitted in the waiting area during instructional time, but are not allowed in the laboratory area. A video feed of the competition fields is available for parents to view the robots from the waiting area.

Yes, absolutely! We cannot possibly teach everything there is to know about robotics in only 5 days. Students wishing to return for multiple sessions are encouraged to do so, and our instructors will teach them progressively higher level skills each time.
