The school year is starting to wind down, but there are still two more PA days to go at Toronto public schools! The last one (June 30) is a gratuitous, extend-the-long-weekend kind of freebie. But kids in the TDSB are also off June 9.

We have some fabulous PA Day camps across the city to make sure the kiddos are cared for, enriched and…oh, yeah, and have a terrific time! All are offerend June 9, others are offered both June 9 and 30, and a few are offered on May 31 and June 1 for Shavuot, too.

So take a look and book a camp for the final PA days before summer!

Basecamp Climbing

If they like climbing, they’ll be overjoyed to be headed to Basecamp Climbing for a day.

Loads of fun, and pizza lunch is included.

IRIS Robotics

Did somebody say Lego? Oh yes they did! Campers will have a day of learning the starting blocks of building Lego robotics, while the older group gets right into Lego Mindstorms.

Theatre Direct

Lights, camera, action! Theatre skills are so great for creativity and for increasing the kiddos’ confidence in speaking in front of groups.

Lots of movement and creativity round out the day, which includes a guest instructor for plenty of idea sharing.
