Summer Camp: July 20-23

Service Description

Step into the whimsical world of invention with Contraption Creators, a hands-on curriculum where students become industrial engineers at the Wacky Wonder Toy Factory. In this imaginative program, students tackle playful, real-world inspired challenges like building conveyor belts, ramp systems, and chain reaction contraptions. Each lesson sparks curiosity, encourages creative problem-solving, and brings core engineering concepts to life through engaging, story-driven activities. Each activity centers around the Crazy Contraptions 2.0 set from TeacherGeek (gears, dowels, a motor, and more!), plus some everyday craft materials. July 20-23, 2026 (Monday-Thursday) 9:00am-4:00pm early drop off from 8:30am / late pick up to 4:30pm available Serratus Movement Centre (1-55 Henlow Bay) PLUS, thanks to our amazing host facility, campers will spend half the day with Serratus Movement Centre! Campers will learn parkour from SMC’s coaches, plus spend plenty of time playing and exploring the amazing indoor parkour facility. The day is arranged such that half of the campers spend the morning engineering with us, while the other half are in the gym. We all have lunch together and then switch for the afternoon! Your Contraption Creator’s 2.0 kit will be used every day, and will live at camp for the week, being taken apart and put back together differently each day. The core kit is yours to keep at the end of camp! One kit per camper. This camp is recommended for ages 5-12 (campers split into two groups by age). Please contact winnipeg@engineeringforkids.com or 204-808-3019 to discuss registering kids outside of these age guidelines. Kids should bring their own nut-free lunch, a water bottle, and indoor shoes for the gym. Kids may also choose to bring a quiet activity for free time. EFK is not responsible for items brought from home. Snacks and water are available at camp. Our engineering/ parkour camps are very popular! Deposit required to secure your spot. Deposit is non-refundable for no-shows after camp has started. IF REGISTRATION IS FULL – please email winnipeg@engineeringforkids.com to be added to the waitlist. P.S – did you know SMC runs their own camps all summer long? If your camper is only interested in the parkour portion of the day, we highly recommend registering for an SMC camp instead! Please contact us for more information on engineering-only options including one-day drop-ins and half days.
